Hello! I am confused about parsing an HTML fragment when the context is a
"select" element.
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-end.html#parsing-html-fragments
step 4.6 instructs me to "reset the parser's insertion mode appropriately". I
head over to
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/the-end.html#parsing-html-fragments
but I see a problem in step 4.
In step 4.1 I let ancestor = node. At this point, I have:
- stack of open elements =
- <html>
- last = true
- node = the context element, a "select" element
- ancestor = the context element, a "select" element
In step 4.2 ancestor is not the first node in the stack of open elements (the
context "select" element is not and has never been on the stack), so I continue
to step 4.3.
Now I am to "let ancestor be the node before ancestor in the stack of open
elements". There is no such node! At this point, ancestor is not on the stack
of open elements, so there is no node "before" it.
I assume the intention is to effectively jump to the step labeled *done* if
ancestor is the context element? That makes sense to me.
