From what I can see this was changed in Opera four years ago after some debate [1]. The big problem was pre- and script-filled fields that exceeded maxlength. Users got confused when fields they hadn't touched threw an error. See also [2] and [3] Sites that broke back then were: (I don't know know if any of them still are affected, many require login) The YaBB forum software SuperOffice eJournal (a support system Opera used) http://kayak.com/ (was fixed after we pointed it out) http://www.costco.com/ (internal navigation) http://www.nowwhere.com.au (zooming maps) http://www.zap2it.com http://www.kwick.de/forum 1) https://bugs.opera.com/browse/DSK-151609 (sorry, Opera access only) 2) http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2006-February/005695.html 3) http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2006-January/005459.html -- Ola P.
