248638 - HTMLInputElement.type doesn't return the "type of control created"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

According to DOM2 HTML, HTMLInputElement.type should return "The type of control
created (all lower case)" but we are simply returning the value of the type
attribute in lowercase.

TESTCASE: http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/dom/html/forms/005.html

This makes detecting whether the UA is a Web Forms 2.0 compliant UA rather hard. 
Opera and WinIE do this correctly.
