17113 2012-05-18 21:26:02 +0000 [Custom]: What happens when you remove or change contents of <element>? 2013-05-17 22:45:45 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified WebAppsWG HISTORICAL - Component Model unspecified PC All RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal --- 18719 1 dglazkov dglazkov dominicc public-webapps-bugzilla oldest_to_newest 67911 0 dglazkov 2012-05-18 21:26:02 +0000 Does it affect the new elements, created from this definition? Must not affect existing ones. 67998 1 dominicc 2012-05-22 06:48:03 +0000 I think we should follow <script> here. Like a <script> tag, once the element has been processed, subsequent changes should not have any effect; removing and reinserting it into the document should not have any effect. 68061 2 dglazkov 2012-05-23 17:01:13 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > I think we should follow <script> here.

Script is not being actively reused. It runs and then it's done. When you stamp out a new element, you effectively reuse the template and the attributes on the HTMLElementElement. I think it's more similar to <style> than to <script> in this respect. 68233 3 dominicc 2012-05-29 01:26:18 +0000 I guess I’m concerned with what the constructor attribute does when changed – does it remove the binding for the old constructor and create a new one? Just create a new one? I expect the behavior you choose for that one will differ from the rest of the element (eg template, etc.) So the "one and done" model is consistent, at least. It does feel very webby-JavaScripty to have changes reflected live though. 79983 4 dglazkov 2012-12-12 00:02:32 +0000 If you add a new <script> to <element>, it runs immediately, as specified. This won't hurt anything, and actually could be useful if author decides to have incremental/partial initialization of component (aspects/mixins ftw?) 87833 5 dglazkov 2013-05-17 22:45:45 +0000 <element> will be one-shot.
