On the other hand, the idea that authors should be responsible for providing information about an activation method controlled by the browser seems ridiculous. The whole example, and the idea behind it that the user interaction behaviour is not the responsibility of the browser, is broken and needs to be fixed. > PROBLEM 4: how does the user notify the script which set of access > keys that user wishes to use? That is again a user agent implementation issue - the user should not notify the script, but only the browser. The script in this example doesn't set the key, it merely repeats what the browser reports to it as the activation method. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
