Bug 103681 – non HTMLElement documentElement ignores display: none

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: CSS

[Elliott Sprehn]

If you replace the documentElement with a non-html element and then set it to display: none we ignore it.

ex.

<iframe id="doc"></iframe>

<script>
    var doc = document.getElementById('doc').contentDocument;
    var root = doc.implementation.createDocument().createElement('not-a-real-element');
    doc.replaceChild(root, doc.documentElement);
    root.appendChild(document.createElement('style')).textContent = 'not-a-real-element { display: none }';
    root.appendChild(document.createElement('p')).textContent = 'Should not be visible';
</script>
