Why don't you use document.createElement / document.createElementNS ? #87

Any reason?

I also don't understand TreeBuilder.copyAttributeToElement function. Can you explain please?

aredridel commented 11 years ago

so that it's possible to create elements like <<> and attributes like foo!=bar. The spec says that these get created, but the DOM spec says they're rejected in createElement and setAttribute.

It's horrible and I want to add private API to jsdom to make it better.

Ok, I see. Same problem with doctype ( with empty name ). Thanks.

Exactly. I keep intending to make a “screw invalid documents anyway” mode that discards all the bogus stuff.
