           Summary: attribute assignment not working in javascript
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 416.x
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScript
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at opendarwin.org
        ReportedBy: mitch.gart at cal.berkeley.edu


In this code

            var link = document.createElement("a");
            link.name = link.innerHTML = childNodes[i].getAttribute("name");

childNodes[i].getAttribute("name") returns a string that contains a Euro
char (0x20ac).  What are the values of link.name and link.innerHTML after this
assignment?  Link.innerHTML contains the correct string, and link.name
doesn't.  The Euro has been replaced with a hex 80 character.

It has nothing to do with the double assignment or the order, it's just
that one attribute seems to accept the Euro and the other doesn't.

The code as written is fine in IE and Firefox but not Safari.
