Both <input>[2] and <textarea>[3] have it so there is currently inconsistency. I discovered the same issue while working on Autofill/requestAutocomplete in Chrome and Ian Hickson mentioned it was likely just an oversight. Autofill in Chrome didn't always work [well] with <select> tags, so I could see how Autofill-related stuff like [autocomplete] could be out of date. It'd be nice to avoid more attribute accessors (and encourage authors to use getAttribute() instead), but if <input> and <textarea> have them we should probably be consistent. -- Dan Beam dbeam@chromium.org > > Thanks, > Matthew Noorenberghe > > [1] http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-select-element > [2] http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-input-element > [3] http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-textarea-element
