Support for the checkValidity() method and the invalid event

[Michelangelo De Simone]

As per summary the implementation of checkValidity method along with its related simple event "invalid" is required as soon as static validation routine are landed.

Untested, undocumented and unworthy patch

[Michelangelo De Simone]

Peter and I discussed the Form::checkValidity() method on #WebKit, it has an optional parameter (unhandledInvalidControls) which can be used for interactive validation tkent is going to work (or is already working) on; see 4.10.15.2.

I'd like some feedback and, yes, the comment inside HTMLFormElement.idl is a mistake.:)

Bugzilla-tool didn't do the trick...:)

Adele gave her feedbacks on irc, the patch is being modified with the elimination of the stuff related to unhandledInvalidControls; instead of it a "TODO" comment is added to remind about it.

You can return false early if !control->checkValidity().  Everything else looks good. r=me

I can't. Form::checkValidity() is supposed to fire an invalid event on every single invalid controls it has.

[Adele Peterson]

nevermind my comment - I forgot about where the events were dispatched

[Peter Kasting]

Fixed in r47649.
