351367 - Setting the transform style on an element through dom and retrieving it will eventually lose the value.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 174578

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060903 Minefield/3.0a1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060903 Minefield/3.0a1

Using an onload event I set the style transform of a rect.
Clicking the rect returns the style transform value.
Clicking any number of times after may return the same value but it will change to "undefined" at some point.
I think the most I've been able to click with a value is about 8 times.  Usually loses the value in the 3rd or 4th click.
The number of clicks always seems to be different when you reload the page and do it again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click the rect to see the style transform value set through the init function.
2. Click again and again and usually between 3 - 8 clicks it will lose the value and return "undefined".



Expected Results:  
Should return the value everytime and never lose it.

A different issue is that the rect doesn't move to the location specified.  But this is a different issue.

I should mention this also occurs in Firefox 1.5.0.6.

The SVG "transform" you're thinking of is an attribute and DOM property, not a CSS style property.  I'm not sure what this testcase is doing to the style system, but it doesn't seem to be a SVG bug.

Hmm, I guess you're right.  It's not listed on this page: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/styling.html#SVGStylingProperties

Should I kill this bug then or is there something weird anyways to be looked at?
