Description Jonas Klink 2009-01-27 16:27:46 PST 
The accessible objects returned for DOM objects on the page are not cached; so, if you try to use JavaScript to get the accessible object for the same element on a page twice, it will return different values each time. This makes a comparison of the objects fail, both on Mac and Windows.

Attached example layout test fails as:

FAIL accessibleForID('body').parentElement() should be [object AccessibilityUIElement]. Was [object AccessibilityUIElement].
FAIL accessibleForID('parent').parentElement() should be [object AccessibilityUIElement]. Was [object AccessibilityUIElement].
FAIL accessibleForID('child').parentElement() should be [object AccessibilityUIElement]. Was [object AccessibilityUIElement].
