927125 - Fix test_input_typing_sanitization.html to not rely on hitting Enter in <input type=number> submitting the form

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Watt [:jwatt]]

The HTML5 spec:

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/association-of-controls-and-forms.html#implicit-submission

says:

  For the purpose of the previous paragraph, an element is a field that
  blocks implicit submission of a form element if it is an input element
  whose form owner is that form element and whose type attribute is in one
  of the following states: Text, Search, URL, Telephone, E-mail, Password,
  Date and Time, Date, Month, Week, Time, Local Date and Time, Number

So if <input type=number> is in the form, hitting the Enter key in that input element (or any other) should not submit the form.

content/html/content/test/forms/test_input_typing_sanitization.html currently incorrectly depends on hitting Enter causing a submission though. As a result it fails (times out because there is no submission) with the patch for bug 635240 which fixes us to comply with the spec text quoted above.

Actually, on a closer reading of the text with Olli I think I agree that this should work in the case that there is only one form control in the form and that form control is <input type=number>.
