This is the opposite of WebKit's old behavior.


http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/tokenization.html#parsing-main-inbody
in A start tag whose tag name is "isindex":

"If the form element pointer is not null, then ignore the token."

Firefox seems to respect <isindex> in either case.  I haven't tested IE (which is likely the flaw in my logic).
Comment 2 Simon Pieters 2010-07-06 08:10:53 UTC 
IE ignores isindex when the form element pointer is set.
Comment 3 Eric Seidel 2010-07-06 08:20:43 UTC 
So WebKit's historical behavior is just dead-wrong then it seems. :)
Comment 4 Michael[tm] Smith 2010-07-06 09:18:52 UTC 
moving to closed per Eric's comment
