That is how I would recommend it be defined. It's not what Firefox
does (that's the easiest browser to get the DOM source from)
That's weird.
I tested http://hsivonen.iki.fi/test/inference/section.html in Mozilla
1.7.5 and Safari 1.3 and in both cases SECTION appears as the first
child of body. (A DOM viewer for Opera would be nice. :-)
Ok, it seems Gecko has changed behaviour between Firefox 1.0.6 and Deer
Park Alpha 2. I incorrectly assumed they'd be the same and just wrote
firefox out of habit. However, for your test case, these are the
results for all browsers I could test:
Firefox 1.0.6:
<html><head><title>...</title></head>
<body><section>...</section>
<div>...</div></body></html>
Deer Park Alpha 2:
<html><head><title>...</title>
<section></section></head><body>...
<div>...</div></body></html>
Opera 8.02:
<HTML><TITLE>...</TITLE><BODY><section>...</section>
<DIV>...</DIV></BODY></HTML>
IE7 Beta 1:
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>...</TITLE><SECTION></HEAD>
<BODY>...</SECTION>
<DIV>...</DIV></BODY></HTML>
(That's very wierd, IE just loves producing broken DOMs! :-/ I assume
IE6 will produce a similar result, though I don't have it available to test)
Netscape 4.75:
Note: I couldn't actually get the DOM, but from the output, I think it's
safe to assume the DOM is generated as something like this:
<html><head><title>...</title>
<section>...</section>
</head><body><div>...</div></body></html>
Netscape only output the content of the <div> and left the contents of
the head hidden. Therefore, since the <section> element wasn't output,
it must have been within the <head>. However, when I inserted a <body>
start-tag before it, or moved the section after the <div>, then it's
content was output.
For Opera and IE, I used this bookmarklet to output the innerHTML of
<html>, then just added the <HTML> and </HTML> manually.
javascript:function go() {var pre = document.createElement("pre");var
text=document.createTextNode(document.documentElement.innerHTML);pre.appendChild(text);document.body.appendChild(pre);};go();
