Nope, if someone had <input id="Path"> previously and accessed it as just "Path", we'll break their page because now Path is this canvas object, not the HTMLInputElement. Intuitively I feel like using the ID of "Path" can't be that uncommon, and accessing ids like this was fairly common in a number of apps and code generators I've worked on... - E _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org<mailto:webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org> http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
