To solve this bug we either should change the IDL of HitRegionOptions to dictionary HitRegionOptions { // [snip] DOMString id = ""; // Note the double quotes // [snap] }; or allow in the definition of WebIDL to let strings enclosed in single quotes. 70933 2 contributor 2012-07-18 17:46:38 +0000 This bug was cloned to create bug 18233 as part of operation convergence. 72680 3 ian 2012-08-24 00:45:30 +0000 This got fixed as part of my fixing various IDL errors recently.
