http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8037 Summary: The form controls collection should just be an HTMLCollection instead of having an HTMLFormControlsCollection interface 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 form control collections either are or inherit from HTMLCollection, thus allowing changes to HTMLCollection.prototype to affect them. In HTML5, it does not inherit, so it will not be affected by HTMLCollection.prototype changes. This seems like a needless change in behavior. If HTMLCollection.namedItem is changed to return "object" instead of "Element" as suggested in related bugs, then having a special interface for form control collections will add very little value (just making the return type of the "item" method a little more specific). Thus, I don't think it's worthwhile having a special interface for it at all. But at the very least it should inherit. -- 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.
