Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/dom.html Multipage: http://www.whatwg.org/C#the-document-object Complete: http://www.whatwg.org/c#the-document-object Comment: Document.open() method should use default values to simplify spec prose Posted from: 173.48.81.109 by bzbarsky@mit.edu User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:20.0) Gecko/20121203 Firefox/20.0
The first overload of Document.open should probably look like this: Document open(optional DOMString type = "text/html", optional DOMString replace = ""); so that the prose doesn't have to worry about missing values.
And the second overload should be: WindowProxy open(DOMString url, DOMString name, DOMString features, optional boolean replace = false);
Yeah, but let me get back to this in a few months.
Checked in as WHATWG revision r7822. Check-in comment: Use more WebIDL (and some minor editorial fixes I forgot to commit before making the WebIDL change) http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=7821&to=7822
