           Summary: <input type="search"> Cancel Button Should Fire an
                    Event
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Web Developers want to be able to detect when the user pressed the Cancel
button in a search input. Currently there is no reliable way to detect this. I
think firing an event makes sense.

I would suggest firing a bubbling, non-cancelable "cancel" event from the input
element.

The following would be an example of usage:

    <input type="search" id="x">
    <script>
    var elem = document.getElementById('x')
    elem.addEventListener('cancel', function(e) {
        alert('You Clicked Cancel!');
        // e.target would be elem
    }, false);
    </script>
