Bug 6054 – Encoded HTML Entities/Special Characters retrieved by XMLHttpRequest not rendering properly

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: DOM

[Justin Maxwell]

In the example URL provided, we can see that the album title is rendering as "
When I'm Gone" (I hope bugzilla doesn't translate that to a character -- if
so, it's "When I&_#39;m Gone" without the underscore). 

Expected behavior:
Renders as "When I'm Gone"

Regression:
This value is returned as an XML text node from an XMLHttpRequest and written
via innerHTML to a span.  Firefox (both platforms) and IE6/SP2 render as expected.

This isn't a layout issue, but rather a parser issue.  Possibly a dup of

This works fine for me in ToT (could reproduce with 2.0.2).

Justin, could you please confirm that this works for you with the latest nightly:
