User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 I made a simpe HTML page: <html><body><form><input type="text" value="abc"></form></body></html> Then I open DOM Instector, locate to that input, you can find it's value is "abc", If you edit it, it will show in webpage, then, I type something in web browser directly, DOM inspector will not update the value, it's OK, but if I edit the value in DOM inspector again, It did not show the change in the web browser. So I make a little more complex page, I found Element.value!=Element.getAttribute("value") and web browser always show Element.value, and I always can't touch it via way like DOMWindow -> DOMDocument -> DOMElement -> Attribue, I think it's a bug, otherwise there should be a way to access it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
> Element.value!=Element.getAttribute("value") That's correct. Element.defaultValue == Element.getAttribute("value"), but Element.value is a totally separate beast. So what is this bug about? Being able to set element.value in Inspector? Or what?
OK, but if Element.defaultValue == Element.getAttribute("value"),then how can I touch the Element.Valye at run time, I am not mean with JavaScript, I mean using Native windows (Embed gtk or Embed win) to access DOM Element. For example, If I change input in form, How can I get it from Native windows, not from JS? Thanks
You QI it to whatever interface has the .value property and get it (eg QI to nsIDOMHTMLInuptElement and call GetValue()/SetValue() as needed. Please ask such "how do I" questions in the right place (the newsgroups), not in the bug database...
