674437 - Retrieving attributes via XPath results in getAttributeNodeNS deprecation warnings

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P5)

Description

[Kris Maglione [:kmag]]

Retrieving an attribute node via document.evaluate, with an expression such as "//@href" results in a deprecation warning for getAttributeNodeNS:

Warning: Use of getAttributeNode() is deprecated. Use getAttribute() instead.

Unless I'm mistaken, this is the cause:

The following seem likely to cause similar problems:
