280470 - input type="image" .src, form.action properties don't resolve relative URIs (should be absolute)

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

The .src property for <img src="/foo.jpg"> returns http://example.com/foo.jpg,
but .src for <input type="image" src="/foo.jpg"> returns /foo.jpg. Since Page
Info just adds them both to the Media tab with elem.src, the <input>s are
broken, but I'm not sure if it's intentionally not resolved for input, and Page
Info should do its own resolving, or not.

So.. in the DOM2 HTML spec, HTMLImageElement.src is defined to be a URI, but
HTMLInputElement.src is just a string (no mention of URI or [IETF RFC 2396] like
for other url properties.

jst, is that just an oversight in the spec?

HTMLFormElement.action is also just a string, though everything else I could
think of, down to HTMLQuoteElement.cite, is a URI.

Sounds like oversights to me, I can't remember these specific properties being
discussed in the DOM WG.
