Status: NEW

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

Description

[Alex Vincent [:WeirdAl]]

Loading this source into Firefox or SeaMonkey, the description element's first child comes out with a node type of 3 (TEXT_NODE), not 4 (CDATA_SECTION_NODE) :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?>
<window
  xmlns:xul="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"
  xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">
  <description id="cdata-test"><![CDATA[ XUL testing of CDATA sections ]]></description>
</window>

Steps to reproduce:
(1) Load the attached document into Firefox or SeaMonkey.
(2) Inspect document via DOM Inspector, look for the first child of the description element.

Expected results:
Node name is #cdata-section

Actual results:
Node name is #text
