45566 - DOMParser should throw exceptions for not-well-formed XML

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: XML, enhancement)

Description

[Taras Tielkes]

At the moment the the DOMParser component from the xmlextras module doesn't 
report any fatal errors (such as XML that is not well-formed). It appears that 
some error message is included in the (DOM) document tree.

It would be nice if we could catch parser exception using the ECMAScript 
try/catch/finally construct.

I am taking all XMLExtras bugs to make it easier to see what I am working on...

This is also something that should be replaced with DOM Level 3 Load & Save
module implementation.

I do not want to change these so close to the milestone deadline. Besides, I
want to replace the DOMParser and XMLSerializer with DOM 3 Load & Save. Moving
to 0.9.1 for now.

Doesn't look like this is getting fixed before the freeze tomorrow night.
Pushing out a milestone.  Please correct if I'm mistaken.

Invalid per spec: <http://html5.org/specs/dom-parsing.html> and Opera reports this would be web-incompatible.
