the following script causes an infinite loop. The superficial cause is the same thead is added to the table twice (once on create, and again on appendChild.) The root cause is nsGenericElement::GetNextSibling() uses IndexOf(mContent), and always returns the index of the first occurance of mContent. So, either the DOM needs to guard against this sort of thing, or content iteration needs to be smarter. table = document.createElement("TABLE"); thead = table.createTHead(); thead.appendChild(currentRow); table.appendChild(thead);

Last I checked, vidur was in charge of the dom (and that includes the content code). I just helped write it :-)

I don't think this is a P1, so I'm going to downgrade it. Also, I think this is either a generic content bug or something that table content needs to deal with. I'll hold onto it for now, since it looks like generic content is being palmed off to me. :-)

Setting all current Open Critical and Major to M3

per leger, assigning QA contacts to all open bugs without QA contacts according to list at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Browser

QA contact re-assigned according to the product areas we're currently working on.

moving to m4.

Fixed a while ago. Using the DOM methods, content insertion ensures that a node is removed from its old position before its added to the new one.
