Details

From an old-ish email thread: In this case the XBL is actually a chrome binding (so does load sync) attached to an HTML node (so not a XUL document). It changes the "submit" property of a form so as to catch programmatic submits of that form (in addition to hooking onsubmit to catch user-generated ones). The relevant part of the HTML of the page in question is more or less like this: <body> <form> <object><!--This is the bound node--></object> </form> </body> <script> // Submit form here </script> Maybe we should consider calling PAQ before executing scripts? Note that on trunk we run the constructor from EndUpdate anyway, so before the script, so this would be a belt-and-suspenders kind of thing if we decide to still do it. Jonas thought this was a good idea, but I'm not sure whether we still need to worry at this point.
Yeah, unless there's a specific reason to, I think I'd prefer not to mess with it. I wonder if we'd get weird behavior if for example an XBL constructor created an inline <script> using the DOM and inserted it.
Could be... I just figured I'd get this filed and out of my inbox is all. ;)
Ok, lets mark this WONTFIX for now then
