1804144 - Implement the `formdata` event: Android

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1594708

(Core :: DOM: Forms, defect)

Description

[Kevin Brosnan [Ex-Mozilla]]

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/28074.

What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?

The formdata event, as described in the HTML spec, should be fired when a form element is constructing the entry list.

How do you know that this problem exists today? Why is this important?

According to MDN, the event isn't currently supported.

Who will benefit from it?

A handful of developpers worldwide would probably love the opportunity to use this very niche but neat form event, either for validation purposes or to append data to a form on submit via javascript.

I don't find if for platform specific or pref around the dispatcher.

formdata event is enabled on all platform in bug 1594708, Android should also support that, I did a quick test, we do fire formdata event on Android as well, I think this is a bug of MDN.
