839913 - Fix HTMLAreaElement's stringifier

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[:Ms2ger (he/him; ⌚ UTC+1/+2)]

Looks like we lost support for HTMLAreaElement's stringifier; apparently we parse "stringifier attribute", but then ignore the "stringifier" part.

So there are three issues here:

1)  We need a test for this.
2)  We need to fix the bug.
3)  We need to make codegen throw on stringifier attributes, since it can't handle them....

Passing it to Andrea as this appears to be a regression from 839439 .Please feel free to reassign if needed.

Or support stringifier attributes properly :)

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky, bz on IRC]]

Or that, but that's a good bit more work.  Patches accepted in the bug we have on that already.  ;)

[bhavana bajaj [:bajaj]]

bz,Ms2ger : Can you please help with some context on user impact here ? Andrea has unassigned this bug and there is no one looking at it. If this has a potential user impact we should definitely have someone look at it else may be its not worth while tracking .

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky, bz on IRC]]

The context is that this is a web-compat regression that's trivial to fix and hence I believe a must-fix.  I'm not sure why Andrea unassigned this.  :(
