Quoting Ian Hickson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
You should probably try harder ;-) Anyway, setting |value=""| on a form
control should not result in the DOM attribute value being "on". It
should result in it being "" and that should be submitted.
Ok. I agree with this. However, you go on to say:
(Sections 2.3 and 2.4 have to be edited for this.)
I don't see anything in either 2.3 or 2.4 that contradicts what you said
above. This is why I was confused earlier, I guess. The bits you quoted in
your earlier mails agreed with what you were saying should happen, and
then you said they should change...
# A control is said to have no value selected if its value is the
# empty string.
"empty string" was the bit I was falling over.
It does not. Sorry about that. I just want to make it clear that XML has
some stupid rules authors should be aware about when dealing with forms.
This seemed like the most appropriate place to add the note.
I don't see how these rules will affect users unless they go out of their
way to make DTDs, in which case they deserve whatever they get.
The normalization happens without DTDs.
