986913 - setAttributeNS results in wrong outerHTML

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

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

Description

[Tymoteusz Motylewski]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.152 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Using Firefox 28 on Ubuntu 13.10.
after adding attribute to the element the "outerHTML" returns invalid html 
You can reproduce it with JS.
HTML:

<span id="spanid">Lorem Ipsum </span>

JS
var element = document.getElementById('spanid'); 
console.log(element.outerHTML); 
element.setAttributeNS('ext', 'qtip', 'attributeValue');
console.log(element.outerHTML);



Actual results:

the first console.log returns:
<span id="spanid">Lorem Ipsum</span> 
and it is correct
The second call returns
<spanqtip="attributeValue" id="spanid">Lorem Ipsum</span>
^^ notice missing space between span and qtip.


Expected results:

Attribute should be visible, and there should be space between span and atribute name.
Because of this bug I had some selenium tests failing on Firefox and working in chrome.
