OK. Then I take it that for ordinary element attributes that are accessed through the getAttribute and setAttribute functions: getAttribute must return null if the attribute is not present. getAttribute must the same value that has ben set with setAttribute. Two more questions: The spec says: "The contenteditable attribute is a common attribute. User agents must support this attribute on all HTML elements." Does this mean that it is an ordinary element attribute or may it an attribute reflected by a HTML-specific DOM property? Does anyone have examples of HTML specific DOM properties that reflect attributes? -- Henrik
