63370 - ensure bottom-up (anonymous content first) construction of xbl objects

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: XBL, defect, P3)

Description

[Peter "jag" Annema]

<binding>
  <content>
    <xul:stringbundle sbattr="foo" src="..."/>
  <content>
  <handlers>
    <handler event="bindingattached">
      <![CDATA[
        var bundle = this.getElementByAttribute("sbattr", "foo");
        dump(bundle.getString("bar")+"\n");
      ]]>
    </handler>
  </handlers>
  <implementation>
    // ... implement getElementByAttribute
  </implementation>
<binding>

This will give a JS error along the lines of getString not being implemented on
bundle.

Jag, is this still an issue?  We should be firing the attached handlers for
anonymous content before firing the attached handler for the binding itself,
last I checked....

Attachment: testcase

You need to download the testcase locally to get it working.
This works for me, but it also works in Mozilla1.0.2, so maybe this testcase isn't testing the right thing?

Because there is some code in Mozilla that works around this bug, but if it isn't a bug anymore, those workarounds should be removed:

This is a mass change. Every comment has "assigned-to-new" in it.

I didn't look through the bugs, so I'm sorry if I change a bug which shouldn't be changed. But I guess these bugs are just bugs that were once assigned and people forgot to change the Status back when unassigning.

XBL is now disabled in Firefox (Bug 1583314) and is in the process of being removed from Gecko (Bug 1566221), so closing bugs requesting changes to its implementation as wontfix.
