FWIW, I used the fact that, in IE 8 & 9, innerHTML is conveniently a configurable accessor found at Element.prototype (in IE8) or HTMLElement.prototype (in IE9), for correcting a quirk of its setter, by extracting it and replacing it with a corrected version.
Indeed, this is one of the major reasons properties are accessors in WebIDL. It allows libraries to polyfill functionality as it's added in specs (e.g. if the set of things that can be assigned to a property changes, that may be possible to polyfill by hooking the setter).
I don't know if and how it would be possible if it was an own property on each instance
It wouldn't be possible, in the proposals I've seen so far in this thread. -Boris _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
