Bug 122755 – DOM event does not bubble in off-DOM element

• Status: RESOLVED

DOM events don't bubble in off-DOM elements.

Here's the code:

```
var log = function(event) {console.log('Clicked on div', event);};

// Create DOM element.
var div = document.createElement('div');
// Don't append it to DOM. Though it works if we append it there.
// document.body.appendChild(div);
div.innerHTML = '<a id="outer"><span class="inner">yo</span></a>';

// Does not work.
div.addEventListener('click', log);
div.querySelector('#outer').click();
```

off-DOM event does not bubble up. Works fine in Firefox.

Here's DOM events spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#bubble-phase

Bubbling should end with defaultView. Or, in the off-DOM case it still should bubble.

>Once determined, the propagation path must not be changed; for DOM implementations, this applies even if an element in the propagation path is moved within the DOM. or removed from the DOM.
