           Summary: Let plugins participate in form submission
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: All
               URL: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188938
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: Plug-ins
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dmeketa at adobe.com


See Mozilla bug 188938 listed in URL field.  In keeping with HTML4, Mozilla has
implemented a way for plugins to provide a form-value string when they are
nested within a <form> tag.  This is just a simple NPAPI addition,
NPP_GetValue(NPPVformValue), returning a string that the browser then provides
as the value associated with the plugin's "name" property from its <object> or
<embed> tag.

See also WebKit bug 13029, in which a patch is proposed that will bring npapi.h
past the point where it already includes the necessary interface definition. 
If the patch for 13029 is landed, it will contain only the interface
definition, and not any actual code to take advantage of the new interface.
