here is the code snippet that shows the problem:
<script>
document.write("<iframe id='xyz' name='xyz' width=728 height=90> </iframe>");
alert(document.getElementById('xyz'));
</script>
it will return null instead of the iframe object.
This happens only on firefox 3.5
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
<script>
document.write("<iframe id='xyz' name='xyz' width=728 height=90> </iframe>");
alert(document.getElementById('xyz'));
</script>
Actual Results:
null
Expected Results:

This seems Firefox-only but is not a regression.

Workaround: add <body> before <script>
Similar to bug 178258 but doesn't seem to get fixed by my patch there...

Adding body inside the document write seems to make it work as well:
<script>
document.write("<body><iframe id='xyz' name='xyz' width=728 height=90> </iframe></body>");
alert(document.getElementById('xyz'));
</script>

Looks like a variant of the "scripts are hoisted to head" thin. Henri, is this an issue with the html5 parser? If not, can you please add a dep on that bug here, and maybe add a "todo" mochitest to the tree immediately, so we remember to enable it when we flip the pref?
Not an issue with the HTML5 parser.
Depends on: html5-parsing
