http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8036 Summary: HTMLOptionsCollection should inherit from HTMLCollection Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML5 spec bugs AssignedTo: dave.null@w3.org ReportedBy: mjs@apple.com QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: ian@hixie.ch, mike@w3.org, public-html@w3.org In browsers that expose global interface objects, the options collection object either is or inherits from HTMLCollection, thus allowing changes to HTMLCollection.prototype to affect it. In HTML5, it does not inherit, so it will not be affected by HTMLCollection.prototype changes. This seems like a needless change in behavior. I think it would be better for compatibility to make HTMLOptionCollection inherit from HTMLCollection, add the extra methods, and define the differences in operation behavior in prose. Note: the change I suggest would require making HTMLCollection.namedItem return "object" instead of "Element".
