Is it for typed RGB values? 52182 1 jackalmage 2011-08-03 15:29:58 +0000 Are you asking about the <input type=color> feature generally, or autocomplete on <input type=color>? If the latter, color inputs have a value. The browser may remember this value, and so controlling the autocomplete behavior for it seems roughly as useful as doing so for any other input. 52385 2 mike 2011-08-04 05:00:56 +0000 mass-moved component to LC1 54485 3 ian 2011-08-09 22:20:01 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

What does autocomplete on a color picker do? 59597 5 jackalmage 2011-11-03 22:58:03 +0000 (In reply to comment #4) > I would expect <input type=color> to render as a color picker, and I can't see > what autocomplete would mean for a picker. What does autocomplete on a color > picker do? The picked color is a value. If the browser remembers that value, then autocomplete can ensure that the input starts with that color chosen. 59598 6 cyns 2011-11-03 23:05:12 +0000 Thanks, that makes sense. Can we add that sentence to the spec? 59629 7 ian 2011-11-04 17:13:28 +0000 We can definitely add a non-normative note to the spec that clarifies that browsers can remember user input. Can you clarify why this is unclear for type=color but not for the other form controls? (It would help me with working out how to make this clearer.) 60194 8 mike 2011-11-20 14:59:31 +0000 Cynthia, please see comment #7: > We can definitely add a non-normative note to the spec that clarifies that > browsers can remember user input.

If type=color is rendered as a text field, it would have a dropdown for autocomplete, like any other text field. But if it is rendered as a color picker, what would the autocomplete look like? Maybe just say that the autocomplete is only used if type=color is rendered as a text box? 61995 11 bhawkeslewis 2011-12-23 22:45:22 +0000 (In reply to comment #10) > I'm having a hard time understanding how the UI would work for this in a color > picker.

If I picked red last time, it could automatically show red selected rather than requiring me to manually select it again. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis
