361241 - setAttributeNode doesn't fire exception when Attr from different document is used

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 47903

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

Description

[Joao Eiras]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20061119 Minefield/3.0a1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20061119 Minefield/3.0a1

The DOM Core defined the method setAttributeNode for the Element interface.
From http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html#ID-887236154
   Exceptions 
   DOMException	
      WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if newAttr was created from
         a different document than the one that created the element.

Yet, this doesn't happen. An attribute node from another document, can easily be imported to a different document, without any exception being fired.
This causes interoperabily issues with other UAs and with the original specification.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Refer to the attached testcase
Actual Results:  
The testcase must report a Pass status

Expected Results:  
The testcase fails because an exception isn't fired.

An attached testcase will follow up

Probable dupe of bug 47903?

Comment 3

[Joao Eiras]

Yes, related, but I searched for setAttributeNode, and I got no relevant results.
This tests for another method.

Nope.

You could fix this bug today if you want -- just throw in an ownerDocument check.  If you do it right, I promise speedy review.  ;)

Huh, what am I missing? SetAttributeNode goes through SetNameItemInternal which bug 47903 fixes.

Ah, I missed that.  Never mind me.  :(
