Description Robert Burns 2006-07-21 10:44:54 PDT 
The example from w3.org: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xforms-20060314/sliceG.html#xforms-in-xhtml-00. Fails to render the controls (note: this example also makes extensive use of several xml namespaces, so that may also be the problem).

Webkit renders it as basically plain text. Even though the xforms controls all map fairly simply to exissting webkit controls. I find no mention of Xforms on the projects page.

changed to enhancement and p3.
Comment 2 Maciej Stachowiak 2007-06-06 14:16:18 PDT 
We're unlikely to support XForms in the near future.
Comment 3 Robert Blaut 2008-02-18 13:10:17 PST 
There is no reason to keeping enhancement requests in an unconfirmed state. Lowering priority per comment #2.

XForms have not been implemented by the main browser engines to the best of my knowledge and I don't think there are any plans to do so. The effort in the history of Web Standards work was converted to HTML5 Forms.
