           Summary: DOMCharacterDataModified incorrectly firing for
                    innerHTML changes
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
               URL: http://jsfiddle.net/newtang/kysTm/15/
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML Events
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jonnew at gmail.com


To reproduce:
1. Have a node that contains only text.  Add a DOMCharacterDataModified event listener
2. Change the node's contents using innerHTML

What is the expected result?
DOMCharacterDataModified does not fire.  The W3 spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Events/events.html) says, "Fired after CharacterData within a node has been modified but the node itself has not been inserted or deleted."  I didn't think innerHTML would adjust the existing textNode; I thought it would replace it with a completely different node.

What happens instead?
DOMCharacterDataModified does fire.

I made this jsFiddle to demonstrate: http://jsfiddle.net/newtang/kysTm/15/

and created this StackOverflow question:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6528511/domcharacterdatamodified-not-firing-consistently-across-firefox-and-chrome-who-i

It appears that Firefox is handling this situation correctly, but ultimately, I'm more interested in consistency across the browsers.
