IE7 unit tests don't pass for dom and selector

Reported by Nick Stakenburg | June 5th, 2008 @ 11:49 AM | in 1.6.0.3

Unit tests on IE7 don't pass at the moment, using latest git:

Dom: testElementReadAttribute (1 failure)

Selector: testSelectorWithEmpty (2 failures)

I haven't looked into this further yet, so this might be the case for IE6 as well.

      • → Assigned user changed from “” to “Andrew Dupont”
      • → State changed from “new” to “bug”
      • → Milestone changed from “” to “1.6.0.3”

    some of core is still unstable.

    The testSelectorWithEmpty will always fail in IE (the unit test should probably be removed because NO other frameworks supports this either.

    IE doesn't see newlines as textnodes so it cannot pass this test properly.

    I have sent Andrew the patches needed to resolve the stability issues with Prototype in the git core.

    The only thing not fixed now is the testSelectorWithEmpty. I don't think there will be a fix for it either. Please reopen if you find one.
