This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Summary: It appears to be an oversight that the onreset IDL attribute is missing from the interface Window, HTMLDocument, and HTMLElement; onsubmit is present on those interfaces and submit/reset should have consistency within the spec. Details: The onreset IDL attribute as well as onreset content attribute (triggered by the reset event) is not included anywhere in the spec. It would be expected that: <form onreset="alert('reset')"><input type="reset" /></form> Will trigger the alert message when the input button is clicked. Indeed this does work in all major browsers. Desired change: Add "onreset" to the list of IDL attributes/ content attributes in sections: * 3.1.1 (HTMLDocument WebIDL definition) * 3.2.2 (HTMLElement WebIDL definition) * 3.2.3 (global attributes list) * 5.2 (Window WebIDL definition) * 6.1.6.2 (add to Event handler/Event handler event type table) * Index
