Mixing content and UI
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- wsc-xit
- Raised by:
- Thomas Roessler
- Opened on:
- 2010-04-10
- Description:
- From LC-2381 [1]:
=====
> 7.2 Do not mix content and security indicators
If an iframe contains a link to a site with an expired certificate and
the user clicks the link, do you want the user agent to destroy the
outer browsing context just to show the security indicator alone? This
does not seem ideal
=====
The group considered the comment at its meeting on 2010-03-31 [2], and resolved to clarify clause #LXXXVI [3] as follows:
=====
Web User Agents MUST NOT communicate +positive+ trust information using user interface elements which can be mimicked within chrome under the control of web content.
