Maybe it should be dropped. (Getter is supported though.) Posted from: 85.227.153.57 by simonp@opera.com User agent: Opera/9.80 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.5.8; U; en) Presto/2.9.168 Version/11.51 56546 1 travil 2011-09-08 18:19:18 +0000 IE9 looked at removing caller support (in our latest standards mode) for form element, but was unable to do so due to web compatibility. (Sorry, I don't have specific bugs/sites to cite.) Even if the spec changes here, IE would be unable to implement this change unless it proves to no longer be a web compatibility issue. I'd recommend keeping caller here. 58718 2 Ms2ger 2011-10-23 13:11:28 +0000 I'm pretty sure Mozilla will refuse to implement caller here (as elsewhere). If that causes compatibility issues for IE, I would recommend that Microsoft evangelizes the sites that use it. 58872 3 ian 2011-10-25 05:10:58 +0000 Input from WebKit and Opera wold be useful here. 58975 4 w3c 2011-10-26 07:03:26 +0000 It's unlikely WebKit would add support for caller if we don't already have it. It's just legacy nonsense. 58987 5 zcorpan 2011-10-26 09:15:22 +0000 Opera doesn't have plans to add caller here. (We might try to remove caller everywhere except document.all.) 59163 6 ian 2011-10-28 23:08:18 +0000 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: Accepted Change Description: see diff given below Rationale: Since only one browser implements this and no other browser intends to implement this, I've removed it. There are other places that have legacycaller also; I recommend following a similar approach (getting a majority of browser vendors to not support it and indicate a desire to continue not supporting it) if you would like those changed also. 59164 7 contributor 2011-10-28 23:09:29 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r6781.
