Description Alexey Proskuryakov 2011-06-03 15:46:29 PDT
The spec says that newlines should be stripped, not replaced with spaces.

Comment 1 Alexey Proskuryakov 2011-06-03 15:46:49 PDT
HTML5 parser relies on value sanitization for correct behavior in this case:

<input type="text" placeholder="foo" value="
">

In Safari 5, the placeholder is displayed, and that's correct per HTML5. But it doesn't work in ToT - and besides, the linefeed appears as whitespace in initial value, which users are unlikely to notice when typing.

The name should be something more like:

    isASCIILineBreak

I didn't really expect that would you fly, but I liked how removeCharacters(asciiLineBreakCharacters) looked.

Thanks for the review!
