Bug 80499 – [Forms] label.form attribute doesn't work

• Component: Forms
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

According to the standard[1], the "label" element has "form" attribute in IDL.
However, in sample URI(http://jsfiddle.net/gDcAG/3/), JS expression label1.form returns null instead of HTMLFormElement object,
even if HTMLLabelElement.idl[2] has "form" attribute.

"form" attribute is implemented in HTMLElement.h[3] as virtualForm/findFormAncestor in HTMLElement.cpp[4].
In this implementation, "label" elements outside "form" elements don't work as expected.

The code is very similar to FormAssociated::insertedIntoTree() and FormAssociated::resetFormOwner(). Please share the code.

Please remove FIXME in this file.

As you know, we already have some tests for 'form' attribute.
I recommend add test cases for 'label' to form-attribute.html and form-attribute-nonexistence-form-id.html, and remove this file.

Please rebase the patch.  http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/110918 conflicts with this.

> Source/WebCore/html/FormAssociatedElement.cpp:100
> +    HTMLElement* element = toHTMLElement(this);

The variable "element" is not needed.  setForm(findAssociatedForm(toHTMLElement(this), m_form));

> Source/WebCore/html/FormAssociatedElement.cpp:155
> +    setForm(findAssociatedForm(element, m_form));

ditto.

Do we need to include HTMLFormControlElement.h and HTMLFormElement.h?
