Bug ID: 157926
Summary: Remove applet support
Classification: Unclassified
Product: WebKit
Version: Safari 9
Hardware: Unspecified
OS: Unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P2
Component: HTML DOM
Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
Reporter: d at domenic.me
CC: cdumez at apple.com
Per discussions in https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/454 we're trying to see if other browsers are willing to follow Chrome's lead and remove support for <applet>. So far it seems like Edge is in favor as well.
Concretely:
- Do *not* change the parsing rules for <applet>
- Remove HTMLAppletElement
- Make document.applets always return an empty HTMLCollection (even if there are <applet> elements in the document).
Would WebKit be interested in this change?
As a bonus, you'd get to close a *bunch* of open issues: https://bugs.webkit.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=applet&list_id=1805197
