           Summary: input event should not bubble per spec
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: ojan at chromium.org


See https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22135#c9.

We'd have to get both Gecko and WebKit (and Opera?) to change here.

I prefer the spec behavior (i.e. not bubbling) as it makes input events
cheaper. I don't see great use cases for bubbling oninput. I guess you could
have a form that you validate on every input and you could have one input
handler for the entire form.

The real question is whether there are sites that currently depend on this
behavior.
