607925 - XSLT Processor: name() function returns uppercase tag names with xhtml elements

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 566629

(Core :: XSLT, defect)

Description

[thomas.comiotto]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b6) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b6) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b6

As of Firefox 4, the name() function of the XSLTProcessor returns uppercase tag names with xhtml elements instead of preserving upper-/lower case (or at least converting names to lowercase, that could be justified by specs).  

This bug can be reproduced in FF4 Beta 6 with arbitrary xml documents that contain xhtml nodes. However: if the result document is an xhtml document (i.e. has a html root element) tag spelling is preserved.

 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Xml document with xhtml tags in it 
2. Transform that uses name() function
3. Names of xhtml tags are UPPERCASE in result document 
Actual Results:  
Uppercase names

Expected Results:  
Original spelling (or at least lowercase as by xhtml specs)

Breaks xslt processing in many cases.

Attachment: Testcase to check

You testcase contains weird characters, e.g. in test.html: "var doc =Â null;". Could you attach a working one?

Henri, was this a mistake during the XHTML-namespacification of HTML?

I thought we had an existing bug on this, but can't find it...

@Nickolay: I work with Eclipse on a standard 10.10 Ubuntu install. The files are UTF-8 encoded and should work. What ist the encoding that Firefox detects in your case (View -> Character Encoding) ?
