Guys

is there any workaround ? Invitataion without possibility to invite people does not make sense. What is priority of this bug and when it will be solved ?

Thanks.

Attachment: attendees are anonymous

I was already looking...
The problem is that the attendeeCol* nodes created are anonymous nodes which getElementById (usually) can't see (the first instances are part of <content> which seems to make a difference?!). 
The attached patch fixes this bug for me, I didn't see any obvious problems.

The patch has not been checked in the code repository yet, so you could not see any changes.
