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

Description

[satya]

Attachment: idTest.htm

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/22.0.1229.52 Safari/537.4

Steps to reproduce:

Accessed the HTMLElement with its id in javascript (say "ip1").
Changed the id (say "ip2").



Actual results:

It has two javascript objects with new id and old id
i.e both ip1 and ip2 objects are available.


Expected results:

It should have only the javascript object with new id.
i.e Only ip2 should exist. ip1 must not exist

I get the same result in IE9

Comment 2

[Josh Matthews [:jdm]]

I suspect this is the same sort of problem as bug 718420 and will be solved with the new DOM bindings.

Comment 3

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Yeah, this is basically the same thing as bug 170799.

Comment 4

[satya]

tried delete <<old_id>>. But no luck.

Comment 5

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Delete only deletes own properties.  This property is on the global scope polluter, not on the window.  "delete Object.getPrototypeOf(Object.getPrototypeOf(window)).ip1" should work.
