But should it be a DOMString? Why not a number type? For the first argument, calling the argument an "event" (in #event-handler-attributes) would kinda indicate to me that it's an event object, not a message. Perhaps these two sections are talking about different things, which would be even more confusing, since "onerror" seems to be a bit of a weird beast in any case. -- Patrick Mueller http://muellerware.org 53639 1 mike 2011-08-04 05:15:56 +0000 mass-move component to LC1 55169 2 ian 2011-08-16 04:03:52 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

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: Fixed the "fileno" typo and corrected the type of the third argument to be "unsigned long". The first argument really is called "event" though, for legacy reasons. It's weird, I agree. 55170 3 contributor 2011-08-16 04:04:43 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r6468.
