The source code is not changed, sure, but why isn't the state of form widgets guaranteed to be reflected in the DOM Core view of the document tree? As it stands, the DOM HTML interfaces are not merely convenience interfaces but can expose data not available through the Core interfaces when the UA does not change the attributes to reflect the form state. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://iki.fi/hsivonen/
