           Summary: [Qt] QWebFrame::findAllElements fails to retireve
                    elements on non-valid web pages.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Qt
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: adawit at kde.org


Calling "QWebFrame::findAllElements(QLatin1String("form[method=post]"))" on the reduced snippet from an actual page below fails to return all the <input> elements of the form. I am not sure if this is a bug since the HTML below is clearly invalid, but unfortunately there are many such broken web sites out there. In fact this snippet comes from a bug reported downstream, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256029. As such for parsing web forms in kdewebkit we are forced to use JavaScript and the DOM. The question is, this something QtWebKit/webkit should handle properly ? Or is this the limitation of the QWebElement interface due to it reliance on the CSS 3 query language to retrieve elements ?

<table cellspacing=1 cellpadding=5>
  <tr>
    <td class=listtitle colspan=2>Please enter your Username and Password</td>
  </tr>
  <form action="/CMD_LOGIN" method="POST" name="form">
     <input type=hidden name=referer value="/">
   <tr>
     <td class=list align=right>Username:</td>
     <td class=list><input type=text name=username></td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td class=list align=right>Password:</td>
     <td class=list><input type=password name=password></td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td class=listtitle align=right colspan=2><input type=submit value='Login'></td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
     <td align=center colspan=2><a href="/CMD_LOST_PASSWORD">Forgot your Password?</a></td>
    </tr>
  </form>
</table>
