Move form submission logic into HTMLFrameElement, this allows us to remove some state and complexity out of FrameLoader.

You probably mean HTMLFormElement. HTMLFrameElement would not make much sense.

Thanks Chris, you are correct, will fix. I was doing too many things at the same time...

Generally looks OK. It’s a little sad when an HTML element class has so much of this sort of logic, but on balance I agree that this is an improvement.

I think this should be something you can write without "get()".

> +    if (!frame->page())
> +        return;

This is a significant change in behavior. Before, in a case like this, the code below would run. We will leave m_shouldSubmit set to true now, for example. Is this a desirable change?

> Source/WebCore/html/HTMLFormElement.cpp:389
> +        return;

Ditto.

> Source/WebCore/html/HTMLFormElement.cpp:394
> +        return;

Ditto.

> Source/WebCore/loader/FrameLoader.cpp:2222
> -    m_quickRedirectComing = (lockBackForwardList == LockBackForwardList::Yes || history().currentItemShouldBeReplaced()) && m_documentLoader && !m_isExecutingJavaScriptFormAction;
> +    m_quickRedirectComing = (lockBackForwardList == LockBackForwardList::Yes || history().currentItemShouldBeReplaced()) && m_documentLoader;

What makes this change safe? Was this boolean doing anything useful before? If so, why isn’t it needed now?
