(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Teruko Kobayashi]

HTML button name attribute does not work.

Steps of reproduce
1. Go to above URL
2. Click on "this is button1"

Expected result
   two buttons depress, "this is button1" and "this is button2"
   since these two buttons have same button name

Actual result
   Only first "this is button1" button is depressed.

Tested 110809 Win32, Mac, and Linux build.

Rod,

I'm handing html4 buttons back to you. I have way to much to do with all the xul  
layout stuff I'm already doing. Let me know if thats ok.

According to the DTD, the name attribute assigns a control name only. The value 
assigned to name attribute can be shared among other buttons so that they may be 
grouped in a category inside a form. I think this test case is bogus since it's 
not suppose to apply focus on any buttons that happen to share the same name 
value.
