1536139 - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/input doesn't mention that only alterations by a user are meant

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Mirko Brodesser (:mbrodesser-Igalia)]

What did you do?

Checked https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/input and it didn't mention that only alterations by a user are meant. The following specification mentions that
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/indices.html#event-input-input and MDN should respect it (Firefox' code already does).

What happened?

See above.

What should have happened?

See above.

Is there anything else we should know?

Chris, this looks like a content bug. Can you move it to the correct place?

Basically, the reporter is asking for us to make it clear that input events are only fired when a change is made by the user (correct me if I'm wrong).

I have add a few words to make this clear, so now I think this can be closed.

Yes, that's what I meant.
