Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008012404 Minefield/3.0b3pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008012404 Minefield/3.0b3pre

This is the key / sole AJAX example at the Apple developer's site:

http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/xmlhttpreq.html

Fx2.0.0.11 has no problem with that example.  The Fx3 problem is with the:

result = parentElem.getElementsByTagName(local)[index];

call in:

function getElementTextNS(prefix, local, parentElem, index)

That function is in a script block of the example.html document's head block.

The example concerns RSS feeds, and the associated javascript + xml has become widely used in that regard.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on an option in the "Categories" select box to load the Items select box.

2. Click on one of those options in the "Items" select box to load an image, descriptive material, and iTunes links below that select box.

Actual Results:  
Both Fx2.0.0.11 and Minefield succeed for 1. and Fx2.0.0.11 succeeds for 2. but Minefield fails.

Expected Results:  
Both 1. and 2. should succeed.
