73821 - XML and HTML elements don't compile handlers on insertion

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect)

Description

[Dan Rosen]

XML and HTML elements, when inserted into a document, don't compile their event
handlers. XUL elements do. This means, among other things, that event handlers
on XBL (non-XUL) anonymous content don't work.

[Brendan Eich [:brendan]]

Is this related to bug 26528?

Comment 2

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

Related, but not a dup. I assume that this is about not compiling event handlers
that are set as "onclick='...'" attributes in the HTML/XML source, right?

Comment 3

[David Hyatt]

Yeah.  I could patch this pretty easily (since this works in XUL), but I'm
wondering if I should wait until after jst lands his branch.

Comment 4

[Dan Rosen]

Johnny: yeah, it's about the attributes. It's like 26528, but we don't care if
the actual attributes are copied or not as long as the handlers are compiled...

Works for me in the testcase I just attached. I'm not sure this is exactly the
testcase we were dealing with before, but it's been over a year and a half, so I
wouldn't be surprised if somebody fixed this already.

Verifying.
