Here's a test case:

<table>
<form onsubmit="document.write('Form did submit'); return false">
<input type=submit>
<script>
document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].click();
</script>

The Firefox nightly seems to set the form pointer here too.

Status: Accepted
Change Description: see diff given below
Rationale: Concurred with reporter's comments.

It would be useful if you could add some tests to the relevant test suites that check that this works even in cases like:

  1: <table> <form> </table> <input>
  2: <form> <table> <form> <input> </table> <input>
  3: <form> <table> <input> </form> <form> <input> </table> <input>

Which forms do the inputs get associated with? Is that compatible with legacy?
