Added. A warning, though. It's not pretty: | The elements array must contain all the input, output, select, | textarea and button controls without a form attribute that have the | form as an ancestor, except if one of the ancestors between the | control and the form is a repetition template or another form, and, | all the input, output, select, textarea and button controls that | have a form attribute that points to the form, except if the control | has an ancestor that is a repetition template that is not also an | ancestor of the form. | | There is one exception. The elements array is defined to not include | image controls (input elements of type image). This is for backwards | compatibility with DOM Level 0. This excludes image buttons from | several features of this specification, such as onformchange | processing and validation. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
