1109188 - Allow populating getAutocompleteInfo() when dom.forms.autocomplete.experimental is false

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1340477

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P3)

Description

[Matthew N. [:MattN]]

Password manager (and possibly form manager) would like to know about valid @autocomplete values on field that we don't actually support for anything else (e.g. requestAutocomplete) yet.

For bug 917325, we need to know if a field has and autocomplete field type other than username/password ones so we know to ignore e.g. postal-code fields in our heuristics. We don't want to duplicate the logic for tokenizing/validating the values in each consumer in the meantime.

Hi Matt, can you provide a point value.

I'm not working on this for the iteration so that's why I didn't assign the iteration.

Attachment: Old WIP patch

Here is my WIP patch from a few years ago. The main hurdle was dealing with the cached state. I wasn't sure if we should have two cached states of if it's fine to bypass the cache for code that wants experimental field names.
