305110 - DOM initEvent(): final invocation should take precedence

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect)

Description

[shutdown]

According to the DOM Level 2 Events spec, the following code
should alert "true/true", but I get "false/false".

javascript:e=document.createEvent("Events");e.initEvent("x",false,false);
e.initEvent("x",true,true);alert(e.bubbles+"/"+e.cancelable);

http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html#Events-Event-initEvent
> The initEvent method is used to initialize the value of an Event created
> through the DocumentEvent interface. This method may only be called before
> the Event has been dispatched via the dispatchEvent method, though it may be
> called multiple times during that phase if necessary. If called multiple
> times the final invocation takes precedence.

This is probably fall-out from our fix to prevent reinitialization of events after they've been dispatched.

I thought so too, but it's not. Patch coming up...
