http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10836 Summary: Several legacy attributes should reflect as URLs, not strings Product: HTML WG Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson) AssignedTo: ian@hixie.ch ReportedBy: Simetrical+w3cbug@gmail.com QAContact: public-html-bugzilla@w3.org CC: mike@w3.org, public-html-wg-issue-tracking@w3.org, public-html@w3.org >From bug 10331 comment 2: * All current browsers reflect img.longDesc as a URL, not a string. * All current browsers except WebKit reflect iframe.longDesc, applet.codeBase, and frame.longDesc as a URL, not a string. * Firefox and Opera reflect object.codeBase as a URL, WebKit and IE9PP4 reflect as a string. * Firefox and IE9PP4 reflect applet.object as a URL, WebKit and Opera reflect it as a string. * Firefox reflects body.background as a URL, but everyone else reflects as a string. At least the first four should certainly be treated as URLs, not strings. It doesn't make sense to ask the majority of implementations to change in the less logical direction. Since object.codeBase and applet.object are 50/50, it probably also makes the most sense to change that to URLs in the spec. body.background might be simpler to leave as-is. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
