Bug 20128 – createEntityReference works, but entity not shown on screen when added to a p element

• Component: DOM
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[François Lamboley]

I created a p element in which I add a text node and an entity reference.
Then, I add the p element in a div already on the xhtml page.

The text node is drawn as expected, but the entity reference is not shown.

Chrome Canary 114 and Safari 16.4 does not change anything in the text while clicking 'blue' rectangle but Firefox Nightly 113 show this error:

Forgot to add - Safari show this in Console: TypeError: document.createEntityReference is not a function. (In 'document.createEntityReference('sect')', 'document.createEntityReference' is undefined)
