316235 - use more generic mechanism for wrapper preservation

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 241518

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, enhancement)

I'm splitting off using a more generic mechanism for wrapper preservation from the rest of the patch to bug 241518, for which a more generic mechanism is no longer useful.  However, it would be useful for other things (e.g., wrapper preservation for any non-DOM-node objects); it's just a lower priority.

Attachment: patch that I removed from the patch to bug 241518

I'm sure this will bitrot quickly, but I may as well attach it.

The patch was against a tree with checkout start: Mon Nov 7 14:38:33 PST 2005, although my cvs mirror may not have been quite current at that time.

(Though I have to say, this patch should just work.  Except for whether the Window Root stuff is right, it could probably just go in.)

Comment 4

[timeless]

This is the only open bug with the APIchange keyword (there are 2 closed bugs, and I just removed it from a bug). I'm considering filing a bug to remove the keyword. (This bug hasn't had real activity since 2005, however it was touched twice since, so the modified date was going to be confusing anyway.)

In the end, this did land with bug 241518.
