On MacOS 8.5/Win95/RedHat Linux 5.2 for 99075 (March 16th) build on the following testcases: 1) helm001.html 1a) Expected action/result: Grab the HTMLElement.id string 2) helm002.html 2a) Expected action/result: Grab the HTMLElement.title string 3) helm003.html 3a) Expected action/result: Grab the HTMLElement.lang string 4) helm004.html 4a) Expected action/result: Grab the HTMLElement.dir string 5) helm005.html 5a) Expected action/result: Grab the HTMLElement.className string All tests return blank. Nothing. Nada.

Turns out that this is a problem with the BODY element only and not with HTMLElements in general. This is related to a problem with SCRIPT elements closing the head prematurely. The fix for that will probably go into M3 and I know that it fixes this problem. I'm DUPing this bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 2817 ***
