The expected behavior in FF is that, after editing the text area, and close the window, it should alert the user whether s/he wants to discard changes. In Safari, the JS code of 'document.j2e.changed()' throws an exception because 'document.j2e' is undefined. The HTML source is incorrect in this case. It looks like <object id="j2e" ... > <param> ... <param> some text here It misses </object> to close the tag. WebKit determines that an HTMLObjectElement is not a docNamedNode (see code in HTMLObjectElement::updateDocNamedItem) because it thinks the object element has child that's text node and with non-whitespace texts. I did further test by closing <object> with </object>, but put some text between, or put a non-param tag between. FF allows 'document.j2e' but Safari doesn't. After chatting with Maciej in IRC channel, he mentioned the rule for HTMLObjectElement was to handle a common error (?) that <embed> element is put between <object> and </object>. 90820 1 feng 2008-09-10 20:27:22 -0700 *** Bug 20776 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 2000366 2 annevk 2023-12-18 04:16:43 -0800 It's unclear how to reproduce this now the website is gone. But also plugins have been removed which suggests this is probably no longer an issue.
