39715 - Implement GetElementById() for HTML namespace elements in XML

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Heikki Toivonen (remove -bugzilla when emailing directly)]

When the GetElementById() was moved to the core DOM in DOM2, this "stopped 
working". This might actually be a regression to earlier builds, like NS6PR1,
but I can't test right now. I can not connect to www.mozilla.org at all for some 
reason.

I am adding M16 and putting nsbeta2 keyword.

This bug prevents, among other things, linking into #refs in XML documents.

Attachment: Fix: Really simple, just call GetContentById()

Correction to my earlier comment. This does not prevent linking, because the 
code that scrolls to ref links calls the already implemented GetContentById(). 
This is bad however, because the code could treat all DOM documents uniformly 
(now it treats HTML and XML differently). See nsPresShell::GoToAnchor().

Is there a keyword/status to indicate parity problem between HTML and XML 
implementation of Core DOM? Because this is such an issue: this is DOM 2 Core 
function, we have implementation in HTML but not XML.

Johnny, if you feel like you want to reassign this bug to me feel free...
