Description Andrey Botalov 2014-03-26 19:55:23 UTC 
There is step 4 in the algorithm from section 10.3.1:
> If the element is selectable and name case insensitively matches "selected", and the element in an INPUT element of type "checkbox" or "radio", the string "true" must be returned if the element is checked or null otherwise.

But link to "selectable" is broken and thus it's not clear what "selectable" element means.

IMO this step should be just:

> If name case insensitively matches "selected", and the element is an INPUT element of type "checkbox" or "radio", the string "true" must be returned if the element is checked or null otherwise.

Also it seems that "selected" is just an alias for "checked" and thus step 4 of the algorithm isn't needed.

Sorry, I forgot about bug 24980.

Actually I think that this bug contains more details and thus I think it would be better to mark previous bug as the duplicate of this one.
