18778 2012-09-05 09:39:08 +0000 input type "search" should be valid 2015-08-23 07:07:21 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified HTML Checker General unspecified PC Linux RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal --- 1 ripper mike+validator mike ripper www-validator-cvs oldest_to_newest 73214 0 ripper 2012-09-05 09:39:08 +0000 According to http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/input.search.html#input.search , an input elements attribute "type" may be set to the value "search". Current public version of the validator gives: "Bad value search for attribute type on element input." The page I'm checking is declaring itself to be a HTML5 page, the validator also runs in the correct mode "Using experimental feature: HTML5 Conformance Checker." Couldn't find a bug report on bugzilla on this issue. Best regards 75039 1 mike 2012-10-02 10:21:55 +0000 I can't reproduce this problem. <input type=search> validates fine for me. If you have a document containing <input type=search> that's getting reported as invalid, please either post the URL for that document, or post a minimal fragment that demonstrated the problem. 75045 2 1196 ripper 2012-10-02 12:58:57 +0000 Created attachment 1196 Minimal demo of issue This attachment is a minimal demo of the issue. I found out that it only happens if the "role" attribute is set as well. In this case, the "role" attribute is set to "textbox". If I read http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/wai-aria.html#wai-aria and the table given under "3.2.7.3 Strong Native Semantics" correctly, this should be allowed (or even the implicit default). However, I'm not a native speaker and may be incorrect. I tested another role value ("status") as well, same error message given. Obviously, "status" doesn't make much sense in this case, I just wanted to see if this error message is epxlicitly bound to "textbox". 76486 3 ripper 2012-10-17 09:51:25 +0000 I wasn't sure whether I was supposed to re-open this issue or Micheal (or someone else from w3). After two weeks without reply, I'm so keen as to re-open this issue. Please see my previous comment for a minimal demo and further explanation. Best regards 86422 4 mike 2013-04-20 14:43:37 +0000 Fixed in the validator sources. I'll push the change out to the validator later today. 1196 2012-10-02 12:58:57 +0000 2012-10-02 12:58:57 +0000 Minimal demo of issue inputTypeSearch.html text/html 367 ripper PCFET0NUWVBFIGh0bWw+CjxodG1sPgogIDxoZWFkPgogICAgPG1ldGEgaHR0cC1lcXVpdj0iY29u dGVudC10eXBlIiBjb250ZW50PSJ0ZXh0L2h0bWw7IGNoYXJzZXQ9VVRGLTgiLz4KICAgIDx0aXRs ZT5JbnB1dCB0eXBlIHNlYXJjaDwvdGl0bGU+CiAgPC9oZWFkPgogIDxib2R5PgogICAgPGZvcm0g bmFtZT0ic2VhcmNoRm9ybSIgb25zdWJtaXQ9ImRpY3Quc2VhcmNoKCk7IHJldHVybiBmYWxzZTsi IGFjdGlvbj0iL2RpY3RRdWVyeS9tLXZvY2FiL2NoZGUvZGUuaHRtbCI+CiAgICAgIDxpbnB1dCB0 eXBlPSJzZWFyY2giIG5hbWU9InNlYXJjaCIgdmFsdWU9IiIgcm9sZT0idGV4dGJveCIvPgogICAg PC9mb3JtPgogIDwvYm9keT4KPC9odG1sPg==
