[webkit-dev] accessing forms using document."form-name". causes crash in XHTML file

Thu Nov 20 01:57:01 PST 2008

Hi All,

  I have pasted the test content below.

If this content is present in a .xhtml file, the webkit crashes. (Verified in

Safari on Win XP with latest nightly, and in Chrome - It crashes there too.)

But, if the same content is served in a .html file, It works fine.

I am afraid, the XHTML content <--> JS bindings have serious issues in webkit.

I have filed this as a bug in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22378

Any suggestions/patches to get it working in .xhtml ??

Here's the test content:

-------------------------------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC

"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<head>

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="application/xhtml+xml;

charset=UTF-8"/>

<title>Form access </title>

</head>

<body

style="background-color:white;border-left:0px;border-top:0px;overflow:hidden;"

>

<form name="MyForm" method="POST" action="about:blank">

<input type="hidden" name="name" value=""></input>

</form>

<script type="text/javascript">

document.MyForm.name.value="test";

document.MyForm.setAttribute("action","about:blank");

document.MyForm.submit();

</script>

</body>

</html>
