Any call site that calls validateInteractively() needs to have a valid layout since validateInteractively() could call isFocusable(), which ASSERTS that the renderer is laid out (according to the comment validateInteractively). Looking at the code, the ASSERT and comment may be outdated though, I will try without it.

Comment on attachment 416820 [details] Patch View in context: https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=416820&action=review I don’t think the tests are extensive enough. There’s no test that checks passing null, and various edge cases not covered by tests that we might actually have wrong in the current patch. > Source/WebCore/html/HTMLFormElement.cpp:47 > +#include "InputTypeNames.h" This is a "bad code smell" and we probably don’t want it. > Source/WebCore/html/HTMLFormElement.cpp:332 > + RefPtr<HTMLFormControlElement> control; > + if (submitter) { > + if (is<HTMLFormControlElement>(submitter)) > + control = downcast<HTMLFormControlElement>(submitter); > + // https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#dom-form-requestsubmit > + if (!control || (control->type() != InputTypeNames::submit() && control->type() != InputTypeNames::image())) > + return Exception { TypeError }; > + if (control->form() != this) > + return Exception { NotFoundError }; > + } This code should call isSubmitButton since that’s what the HTML specification calls for. It shouldn’t reimplement the "is submit button" rule. To do that, we need to cast to HTMLInputElement rather than just to HTMLFormControlElement. Would be simple. > Source/WebCore/html/HTMLFormElement.cpp:336 > + // Update layout before processing form actions in case the style changes > + // the Form or button relationships. > + document().updateLayoutIgnorePendingStylesheets(); No reason to capitalize "form" here. Do we have this covered by test cases? > Source/WebCore/html/HTMLFormElement.cpp:381 > + firstSuccessfulSubmitButton = submitter; Is it really OK that this skips the "is successful" check? Do we have test cases that cover disabled form controls, since that is what the "successful" check is for? Is it really OK to skip the loop and possibly end up with two buttons that both have setActivatedSubmit(true)? Do we have test cases that cover that? > Source/WebCore/html/HTMLFormElement.cpp:387 > + HTMLFormControlElement& control = downcast<HTMLFormControlElement>(*associatedElement); Should use auto& here. > Source/WebCore/html/HTMLFormElement.h:80 > - void prepareForSubmission(Event&); // FIXME: This function doesn't only prepare, it sometimes calls submit() itself. > + void prepareForSubmission(Event*, HTMLFormControlElement* = nullptr, FormSubmissionTrigger = NotSubmittedByJavaScript); // FIXME: This function doesn't only prepare, it sometimes calls submit() itself. I don’t think the HTMLFormControlElement* argument is self-explanatory in purpose from its type alone. I think it needs a name. Could we maybe rename this function so we can remove the FIXME? Might require a little studying to come up with a great name. > Source/WebCore/html/HTMLFormElement.h:109 > - HTMLFormControlElement* findSubmitButton(const Event*) const; > + RefPtr<HTMLFormControlElement> findSubmitButton(const Event*) const; Why this change? It’s not how we’re generally handling object lifetime. Ryosuke said that local variables need to be RefPtr, but not return values from a function like this. Super confusing that this function will return a clicked form control that is not a submit button, by the way! Maybe we should rename this to something like effectiveSubmitter or findSubmitter and have it take a HTMLFormControlElement* submitter argument so all the callers won’t need to have the null check and branching. > Source/WebCore/html/HTMLFormElement.idl:43 > + [MayThrowException] undefined requestSubmit(optional HTMLElement submitter); Specification says "optional HTMLElement?", so both *nullable* and optional. I think we need test cases covering that case since this is currently wrong and no test is passing.

With the amount of review comments I feel it is better to address them with multiple patches, to make sure I do not regress anything along the way. Regarding isSubmitButton, I tried but it seems we'd not just need to cast to HTMLInputElement and check isSubmitButton, but also need to check HTMLButtonElement which can also be a submit button. That seems to me to be a lot of casting and checking, and not really better than the current solution. WDYT?

That doesn’t make sense for comments that are specially about the newly introduced mode. For example "bypassing checks" comments are not about changes to existing behavior, but about how requestSubmit works and what it does and does not check. If the comments are about refinement to what’s already there, that’s fine, OK to do them in separate patches. > Regarding isSubmitButton, I tried but it seems we'd not just need to cast to > HTMLInputElement and check isSubmitButton, but also need to check > HTMLButtonElement which can also be a submit button. That seems to me to be > a lot of casting and checking, and not really better than the current > solution. WDYT? I think we should add a virtual member isSubmitButton function to HTMLFormControlElement, have the base implementation return false, mark the function in HTMLInputElement as final, and also add one in HTMLButtonElement, also marked final.

Comment on attachment 417622 [details] Patch View in context: https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=417622&action=review Looking quickly I could only find one unaddressed comment that seems like it ought to be part of the initial patch.

This is new to requestSubmit, and so belongs as part of adding requestSubmit.

@annevk I have some questions about form submission related to requestSubmit (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-form-requestsubmit): - it is my understanding that requestSubmit can be successful even for submit buttons that are disabled? - WebKit and blink deal with activation of the submit button in their submit algorithm. Is this related to DOM activation? I can't find anything about activation in https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-form-submit. - the code (https://trac.webkit.org/browser/webkit/trunk/Source/WebCore/html/HTMLFormElement.cpp#L359) seems to treat activation as a way to control the entry list so maybe the activation concept is just a mechanism for "construct the entry list"(https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#constructing-the-form-data-set).
Yeah, it does not seem to look at the disabled state. I'm not sure if that was considered, but it's definitely what's specified. I'm not sure about the other question. If you could construct a test that would produce different results between Chromium/WebKit and the standard that would help a lot.
I guess we can build the test cases based on what the isActivatedSubmit and isSuccessfulSubmitButton do, without thinking too deeply about what the correct behavior is; just have the test cases demonstrate the difference those functions make. That could perhaps help us focus more clearly on the design issue?

I can't see bug 185173, so for me it is hard to judge how much the original makes sense.
That security bug bug mentions that updateLayoutIgnorePendingStylesheets can call JavaScript. Given that, it can do almost *anything*, which can indeed include changing form and button relationships, like moving the button into a different form.

Can I have access to that bug or see an example where it calls JS? I lack imagination for that. Of course if that is the case, then I agree the updateLayoutIgnorePendingStylesheets should be done before the first checks in HTMLFormElement::requestSubmit.
I’ll give you access to that security bug. I don’t think that’s quickly going to lead you to understanding exactly how calling updateLayoutIgnorePendingStylesheets can lead to a focus event gets dispatched, but I’m sure it will help a lot of people if you can explain it clearly to the rest of us.

I can't see bug 185173, so for me it is hard to judge how much the original makes sense. Ok I added a testcase for this scenario. For that case, indeed it is needed to call updateLayoutIgnorePendingStylesheets before doing the requestSubmit checks!
