564047 - "ASSERTION: Nodes that are not documents, document fragments or elements can't be parents" with doctype node

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 613793

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Attachment: testcase

Similar to bug 558973 (which is fixed) but with a more complicated testcase.

###!!! ASSERTION: Nodes that are not documents, document fragments or elements can't be parents!: 'aParent->IsNodeOfType(nsINode::eDOCUMENT) || aParent->IsNodeOfType(nsINode::eDOCUMENT_FRAGMENT) || aParent->IsElement()', file /Users/jruderman/mozilla-central/content/base/src/nsGenericElement.cpp, line 3863

[Peter Van der Beken [:peterv]]

Bleh, nsDOMDocumentType are nsGenericDOMDataNode but not IsNodeOfType(eDATA_NODE). Should I just add a flag for "can have children"?

Comment 2

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Where would we use this flag, other than asserts?

Comment 3

[Jesse Ruderman]

WFM:

JavaScript error: , line 0: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Node cannot be inserted at the specified point in the hierarchy"  code: "3" nsresult: "0x80530003 (NS_ERROR_DOM_HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR)"  location: "https://bug564047.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=443737 Line: 6"]

Fix by the patch in bug 613793, perhaps? I know it made NS_ERROR_DOM_HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR occur in some cases where it didn't occur before.

Very much so, yes.
