The problem is that at this point, the TEXTAREA element has not yet been populated with the text nodes that it may contain as a part of HTML document being parsed. Therefore, the reset algorithm will always set TEXTAREA's Raw Value to the empty string, even if the element contains non-empty text nodes in its subtree. Solution: invoke TEXTAREA's reset algorithm when the element has been popped off the parser's stack of open elements Posted from: 94.75.209.155 User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0 118326 1 contributor 2015-03-04 23:08:38 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r8886.
