Example: MyCustomControl.disabled = function() { this.element.inert = true; } MyCustomControl.disable(); If you meant why "inert" attribute should have corresponding DOM idl property of element, then I should ask--why other attributes have? P.S. Sorry for anonymous bug report. 91942 3 ian 2013-08-12 23:11:58 +0000 Oh you mean a reflection attribute for the content attribute, not an attribute that reports the current state, I see. My apologies. Yeah, not having that is just an oversight, my bad. 91943 4 contributor 2013-08-12 23:12:21 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r8140.
