It is not intrusive if that's what the app wants to do. And if the app wants to store it by adding control characters to the input value, it can do that too - that's their business. Adding control characters is a lot easier than stripping them off. > > 2) If bug 10821 is fixed, so that JavaScript can reliably tell what the > direction of the input is (even accounting for the user manually switching the > direction), then this feature could be emulated by JavaScript.

As explained in the proposal, this is only so when the page can use script. What if the page is being sent as HTML-mail, where script is not allowed - but forms are. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
