Description Glenn Adams 2011-09-19 02:07:57 UTC 
the (incomplete) definition of ElementCSSInlineStyle (see 7.1) does not specify that an object that implements the Element interface must also implement ElementCSSInlineStyle;

need to add normative text specifying:

Element implements ElementCSSInlineStyle;
Comment 1 Anne 2011-09-19 08:04:01 UTC 
Neh, it should become "partial Element" instead.

ok, that works for me
Comment 3 Boris Zbarsky 2011-09-21 03:05:29 UTC 
Except not all elements implement ElementCSSInlineStyle.  In particular, not all SVG elements have a .style per current SVG spec.

good point; perhaps it is best specified as

HTMLElement implements ElementCSSInlineStyle

or as

partial HTMLElement {}

though personally I do not like the use of partial, since it does not permit one to identify the collection of new members being added, and does not support instanceof (or equivalent) operator
Comment 5 Boris Zbarsky 2011-09-21 03:18:50 UTC 
If we want .style to appear on the mixin prototype object, we use "implements".

If we want it to appear on HTMLElement.prototype, we use "partial".

In neither case would "document.createElement("div") instanceof ElementCSSInlineStyle" return true, if I read webidl correctly.

I would personally be reasonably OK with trying to push .style up to Element if the SVG folks are OK with it...
Comment 6 Simon Pieters 2013-05-21 18:27:25 UTC 
My thinking is that HTML and SVG should say HTMLElement implements ElementCSSInlineStyle and SVGElement implements ElementCSSInlineStyle.

If we make it work on Element, should we make style="" work on any element as well?
