Bug 257686 – Remove 'input.increment' since not in Web-Spec

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: Forms

[Ahmad Saleem]

Hi Team,

It is not spec'd as per: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/667

We are failing this test and we can get rid of 'incremental' by removing it from IDL file and also remove test added by following commit:

Commit: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/commit/bd4d5f416c383acadd1c036f35fabba22b45aa31

and change expectation of following WPT test:

https://wpt.fyi/results/html/semantics/forms/historical.html?label=master&label=experimental&aligned&q=%2Fhtml%2Fsemantics%2Fforms%2Fhistorical.html

WPT Test Live Link: http://wpt.live/html/semantics/forms/historical.html

Just wanted to raise so we can fix it.

Thanks!

We have this failure in common with Chromium. Are they planning on removing it?

Chrome Bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=690143

Chrome has removed internal usage and also added hooks to measure the usage via telemetry but their stats usage for ‘incremental’ are as follow:

I think we can remove ‘incremental’ more easily compared to ‘search’ event.
