http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12301 --- Comment #2 from Jonas Sicking <jonas@sicking.cc> 2011-03-18 16:32:37 UTC --- I'm not convinced that having pattern="" actually apply a pattern is a good idea. As an author I likely would have assumed otherwise. We have had problems in the past with authors thinking that src="" meaning that nothing should get loaded, for example for <img>s. The fact that it did cause images to load was both a surprise, and a hassle to fix for them (even after learning how things behaved) since they could not do: <img src="<%$icon_url%>"> In for example PHP. This was enough of a hassle that for a bunch of elements we defined that empty src means no load happens. Additionally, not allowing empty-nam-means-no-name means that authors can't do elem.name = ""; In order to remove a radio from a group. Same applies to pattern and src. -- 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.
