Description Shawn Wilsher :sdwilsh (Mozilla) 2010-05-04 16:56:06 UTC 
The spec doesn't say what the correct course of action is if a consumer passes null to something that is not null.
Comment 1 Jonas Sicking (Not reading bugmail) 2010-11-08 18:35:51 UTC 
Is this still a problem. I've tried to be thorough in defining invalid values everywhere. The sync API is still not up-to-date, but that's a bigger problem that we should handle separately.

Are you planning on working on this soon?  If not, maybe you should assign it to dave.null@w3.org

From mail [1]:

]]
Based on this conversation, we agreed that we wanted to throw a TypeError when a non-nullable parameter was passed a null argument.  This implies to me, for example, that if we were to pass a null value for the key parameter of IDBObjectStore.put we will throw a TypeError (i.e. InvalidArgument).  We're assuming this Exception takes precedence over any IDB Exceptions (i.e. DATA_ERR).

I believe that this satisfies the request in this bug, so I am resolving it as fixed.
