32864 - form element textarea type == "Text" rather than "text"

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 32368

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

Description

[Ian A. Marsman]

From Bugzilla Helper:

I have a Javascript form validation script loops through the elements of a form 
and does validation agains elements. As part of the script the element type is 
checked. NS 4.x and IE 4 and 5 report a text field as "text" and a textarea 
as "textarea". Moxilla reports them as "Text" and "textarea" (note case). This 
caused my script not to run, as I do an exact match. I have modified it to work 
by using a RE, but this should not be necessary.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run the sample file and look at the code

Actual Results:  I was able to see the spelling and case of the elements.

Expected Results:  I believe that type should be "text" not "Text". If this is 
not done I think lots of checking code will break.

Hmm, comments in bug #32368 says I marked this as a dup of that bug but this is
not marked as a dup?

Marking now...
