[webkit-qt] QtWebKit QWebForm API extension

[Dawit A]

Allan,

Very nice and if I read the code correctly this should resolve the problem
listed in http://webkit.org/b/63603. However, it still does not seem to
deal with the issue of form completion. The ability to provide a list of
completion items when filling out forms is the last remaining issues that I
personally have with forms in QtWebKit. But perhaps that is out of the
scope of this particular solution ?

Regards,
Dawit A.
