This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#other-elements,-attributes-and-apis Comment: Please spec img.lowsrc Posted from: 91.181.4.193 by ms2ger@gmail.com
Maybe we should try to remove support for this too. I cannot find any compatibility issues. As far as I can tell the reason it was added to Opera was because of some tests somewhere...
For reference: <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12305>. That said, I'd like to see it gone too.
EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Partially Accepted Change Description: see diff given below Rationale: I've mentioned lowsrc in the obsolete section, but I haven't specified the IDL attribute. Neither Opera nor Mozilla seem to support it (I couldn't test IE), and WebKit only seems to support it because of CNN in 2007; CNN has since changed, it seems.

Based on code inspection and <http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/645>, Gecko does support it.
Is there some known page that would break if .lowsrc is not supported?
Hm, I wonder why I thought Firefox didn't support it. Weird. EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: We all seem to want to drop it, and nobody has given a page that still exists that needs it, so I suggest we try dropping it and see what happens. We can always bring it back if it turns out to be a lost cause.
We broke this accidentally in Fx20 and got 2 bug reports about it in the few weeks since: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=864367 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=878509
Please don't move bugs from an HTML WG component to the WHATWG/HTML component. That's what "Clone this bug" is for. I'll leave this bug here and clone back in the other direction this time.
