This mailing list is for discussion of the development of WebKit, not help 
using WebKit. Please see <http://webkit.org/contact.html>. Your question is 
more appropriate for webkit-help.

As far as I know, these properties are Firefox-specific, not mentioned in any 
standard. WebKit doesn’t have all the same extensions to the DOM API that 
Firefox does. These seem like they might be reasonable things to add. You could 
file a bug requesting them or even work on the implementation yourself. The 
documentation at <http://webkit.org/quality/reporting.html> tells how to write 
a bug report.

Folks on webkit-help might be able to help you find a workaround. WebKit does 
have at least some APIs that might be useful to you in this situation.
