           Summary: Add speech attribute to IDL for enabling access from
                    JS.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Forms
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: satish at chromium.org


The input element currently recognizes the 'speech' attribute on creation and initializes the renderer appropriately. But this attribute was not accessible from Javascript so one could not use document.createElement('input') and then set input.speech='speech' to enable speech input. We are now adding the attribute to IDL and relevant code in HTMLInputElement to update the renderer whenever Javascript modifies the value. This is a pre-requisite to writing layout tests for the speech input code.

All code changes are behind the speech input compile time flag (disabled by default).
