Bug 134545 – input type=range element should only fire change events after committing a value

• Component: New Bugs
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

input type=range element should only fire change events after committing a  value

Created attachment 234258 [details]
Patch

This patch is intended to bring the input type="range" element in line with the spec, so that change events are dispatched only after the change is committed, i.e., when the user stops dragging the thumb control (cf. http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/common-input-element-attributes.html#event-input-change). The previous behavior was to dispatch a "change" event on every interaction, which is already covered by the "input" event. Note that Firefox and Chrome implement the correct behavior. This patch brings WebKit in line with these implementations.

Looks good to me. r+ if you work out the failing tests.

Congratulations. I think this could be the first sibling to commit a patch to WebKit! Just upload the final patch and I'll commit it.

Could you add another paragraph that explains this behaviour matches Firefox and Chrome? I expect we might get random regression reports from this, and it would be good for our bug screeners to know right away that this is correct behaviour (e.g. you noticed that our own media controls were incorrect).

[Dean Jackson]

Can't see how those crashes are caused by this, but they are in media.

Also, double check that's the email you want to use in the ChangeLog.

I cannot reproduce the failing tests on OS X 10.9.3 and do not currently have access to a system running Mountain Lion...
