Bug 173048 – U+0000 NULL is not preserved in input.value IDL attribute

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: CONFIGURATION CHANGED
• Component: Forms

[Simon Pieters (:zcorpan)]

See web-platform-tests PR https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/pull/6149

Some tests fail as follows in WebKit

Fail	value IDL attribute of input type text without value attribute	assert_equals: expected "foo\0" but got "foo"

That test is:

// MODE VALUE
test(function () {
  var input = document.createElement("input");
  input.type = "text";
  input.value = "foo\r\r\n\n\0";
  assert_equals(input.value, "foo\0");
}, "value IDL attribute of input type text without value attribute");

All tests pass in Chromium and Gecko.

All tests now pass in Safari - https://wpt.fyi/results/html/semantics/forms/the-input-element/valueMode.html?label=master&label=experimental&aligned&view=subtest&q=valuemode.html

Is something else needed or we can mark this as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED"? Thanks!

I *think* Darin also fixed this a while ago.
