I tested your DOM examples at

   http://www.mozilla.org/layout/demos/

and found a bug. The demo for changing the title and the
text value don't work with HTML entities such as ö etc.

Resolution: --- → WONTFIX
The old DOM code is dead; if this appears in the new DOM code, it should be
filed in that component against Vidur or someone.

gerardok, can you verify this is not a problem with latest build please.
Status: RESOLVED → CLOSED
The testcase at http://www.mozilla.org/layout/demos/ isn't working properly. DOM
is handling character entities as proved by the following testcase:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
document.title = "&ouml;";
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Verified on 2/25 build. Bug marked as closed.
Javacsript component begin retired.  Moving this bug to Javascript Engine.
