Is it really useful to have it? Why wouldn't we just have browsers ignore height/width/top/left? 106021 2 zcorpan 2014-05-15 08:18:40 +0000 It's not quite "do what you want". It's "do nothing or do one or more of these things". I'm hoping for better interop (e.g. in parsing the value) and for browsers dropping some of the many supported features. I don't think it's realistic to drop height/width/top/left on desktop browsers yet. Just saying "do what you want" is more likely to result in browsers making no change whatsoever I think. 106060 3 ian 2014-05-15 17:57:28 +0000 Well, it's not "do nothing". I mean, if you "do nothing" with those four things, you still have to position the window. So it's "put the window where you want or put the window where these attributes say", which is the same as "put the window where you want" from a black-box testing point of view. What values do browsers support which you think you can get them to drop? 106156 4 zcorpan 2014-05-16 12:09:13 +0000 See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window.open 106180 5 ian 2014-05-16 17:03:15 +0000 I don't see any features there that I would want browsers to support. The only one I see on that page that says it's going to be dropped is "dependent", which isn't supported by anyone but Gecko on some platforms anyway. Is that the only one you think we can get dropped? 106200 6 zcorpan 2014-05-16 19:57:21 +0000 I hope to drop all but the ones in the spec. But I don't know how realistic that is, I haven't checked with implementors about it. 109878 7 ian 2014-08-04 19:00:26 +0000 I've made HTML defer to CSSOM View. If it was up to me, we'd drop the entire argument. As described above, as far as I can tell, what CSSOM View requires is black-box indistinguishable from ignoring the argument entirely.
