Seems bit confusing with above line. " each shadow root must also have an activeElement property to store the value of shadow host element which contains the focused element in its shadow DOM subtree." 65041 1 dglazkov 2012-03-05 20:12:32 +0000 (In reply to comment #0) > " each shadow root must also have an activeElement property to store the value > of shadow host element which contains the focused element in its shadow DOM > subtree." Ok, now I am confused :) A shadow root may only have one shadow host. So by this description, we will always see the shadow host value when querying the activeElement property. What would be the usefulness of this? 65067 2 kaustubh 2012-03-06 13:12:47 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > (In reply to comment #0) > > > " each shadow root must also have an activeElement property to store the value > > of shadow host element which contains the focused element in its shadow DOM > > subtree." > > Ok, now I am confused :) > > A shadow root may only have one shadow host.

Confusion solved :) So activeElement property of shadowRoot should return the element in its sub tree and not the host element. I hope i got it right now. 65370 3 dglazkov 2012-03-12 19:15:45 +0000 I think the description is ok as-is. Please chime in if you disagree.
