Details
"div.innerHTML = div.innerHTML" causes an XML parsing error and throws NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER.  I suspect that this is a bug in the innerHTML setter (rather than a bug in the innerHTML getter) because the error messages are suspicious.


XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: 
Line Number 1, Column 129:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"></

(The arrow points to the second-to-last character in the message, "<".)


[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIDOMNSHTMLElement.innerHTML]"  nsresult: "0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///Users/jruderman/Sites/fuzz3/textinner/f.xhtml :: boom :: line 14"  data: no]

The bug here is in one of the JS engine, XPConnect, and createTextNode.  Basically, once we have a text node with an invalid UTF16 string in it it's all bad.

The setter is correctly throwing on invalid input; that's the right behavior.

See bug 316338 for details.

NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER might not be the right exception to throw, though ;)

Bug 466751 fixed the error message.  Now it's:

[Exception... "An invalid or illegal string was specified"  code: "12" nsresult: "0x8053000c (NS_ERROR_DOM_SYNTAX_ERR)"  location: "https://bug377314.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=261408 Line: 14"]

As bz said, the main problem here is bug 316338.
