333654 - nsDOMAttribute ownerDocument management bused.

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P5)

Description

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

Right now we don't properly update the owner document for attribute nodes in cases where we move a node into a node with no owner document. The API doesn't currently permit us to update the nodeinfo w/o having a document to pass in, etc etc... Part of the code at fault is in nsGenericElement::BindToTree() (and also nsXULElement). This may be a problem only in theoretical cases (as any case where nodes are moved from document to document from JS, there pretty much always will be a owner document in the source and target nodes), but should at least be further investigated.
