Summary Script element created with Range.createContextualFragment is not executed

Chrome Version : 14.0.814.0 dev URLs (if applicable) : See attached Other browsers tested: Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue: Safari 5: FAIL Firefox 4.x: OK IE 7/8/9: FAIL Opera 11.x: OK What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Put the attached .html in a folder under www root. 2. Open it in the browser (e.g. http://localhost/tmp/execute-script.html What is the expected result? The 'Old element' DIVElement is replaced with a new ScriptElement and the body of the script element is executed. I.e. an alert with text 'executed' should be shown. What happens instead? The div element is replaced but the the script body is not executed. Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible. This JavaScript snippet is used to replace an element with a new one by creating a fragment from a text and replacing the old element with the fragment. The attachment is simplified - it replaces div with script but in a real application it could be another div with many children one of which is a script. Firefox and Opera support completely this functionality. WebKit based browsers replace the elements but doesn't execute the script body. Internet Explorer doesn't support range.createContextualFragment() at all. Bug report for Chromium: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=89694

Are such scripts supposed to be executed per HTML5?

There was a thread on this topic, but I forget what the outcome was.

This isn't covered by HTML5. The relevant spec draft is http://html5.org/specs/dom-parsing.html and it agrees with the reporter.
