Not offhand. Again, it's been a while since I looked into this, but at the time this was being implemented in Gecko we carefully made the two-input-no-submit case not submit. I thought that was for good reason, but reskimming the bugs now I can't find the reason. It's been over 10 years, so the details are a bit hazy in my mind. :( >> For those who want to mess with the spec for this behavior, >> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99920 and >> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109463 and >> https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147850 are necessary (but >> probably not sufficient) reading. > > I read those bugs, but can't see the reason why submitting a form with two > text fields and no buttons would break the Web. Can you elaborate? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22526 is the other bug that needs reading, but it doesn't help either. I didn't look at the various (and somewhat numerous) duplicates of the various bugs involved... I suppose we could try submitting the "more than one text input, no submit button" case and see what happens... -Boris
