Comment #6 on issue 4653 by [EMAIL PROTECTED]: AJAX page not working correctly http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=4653
If you have a form that contains a span that contains an img tag with a name and id, and replace that img with another one, with the same name but a different id, any javascript that accesses that img through the form (form.image.id) will get the old value. Accessing the img through the document will get the new value. This behavior is consistent in IE6, Safari and Chrome. In FF and IE7 you get the new value using either path to the image. In HTMLFormElement there is a vector called imgElements that gets initialized when the form is created. As far as I can tell this vector is never updated when the innerHTML is set. HTMLParser has a notion of the current form, contained in the instance variable m_currentFormElement. This is used when an HTMLImageElement is created to allow imgElements to be updated. When innerHTML is set on a span within the form there is no way for this variable to be initialized, so the image can't be added to the form's imageElements. One additional thing I've noticed is that the HTMLImageElement is never destroyed when removed from the document. If it was, it would have been removed from the form as well. I believe there is an old IE behavior that says that if an element is referenced by name at some point then it has to be able to be referenced by that name later, even if removed from the document. Perhaps this is to allow for that.
