Comments on: Tracking down :default and command http://www.broken-links.com/2007/02/08/tracking-down-default-and-command/ Thoughts on web development and technologies by Peter Gasston Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:50:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ian Hickson http://www.broken-links.com/2007/02/08/tracking-down-default-and-command/#comment-16 Ian Hickson Fri, 09 Feb 2007 01:07:52 +0000 http://www.claudiamassera.com/?p=11#comment-16 :default and are unrelated. :default is a way to select the default button in a form. It doesn't really apply to HTML, it was mostly an XForms thing. It might be used for more things in future in HTML5: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-forms/current-work/#relation is part of the context menu and toolbar features in HTML5. It will become a way to centrally disable all menu items and buttons that do a particular feature. It isn't fully specced yet. As you say, it's mostly for Web apps. Finally, ignore the Web Controls draft, it's just a bunch of notes for now. :-) HTH, --Ian :default and are unrelated.
