*Summary*: Allows web developers to get the effective/normalized value of the autocomplete attribute in the same way they currently can for <input> and <select>.
Example: <textarea autocomplete=" On "></textarea> returns "on" for textarea.autocomplete. The return value will respect the pref dom.forms.autocomplete.formautofill, like we already do for <input> and <select> meaning it will only return "on"/"off" if Form Autofill isn't available to support the other values. *Bug*: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1020698 *Link to standard*: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-textarea-element:attr-fe-autocomplete *Platform coverage*: All but iOS *Estimated or target release*: Firefox 59 *Preference behind which this will be implemented*: None (it's simply exposing shared logic for <select> and <input> on <textarea> *Is this feature enabled by default in sandboxed iframes* : Yes *DevTools bug*: N/A since it's just a fairly basic DOM property. In theory devtools could use the internal getAutocompleteInfo API to show the browsers' interpretation of the parsed attribute. *Do other browser engines implement this* : According to https://wpt.fyi/html/dom/interfaces.html's "HTMLTextAreaElement interface: attribute autocomplete" row: * Safari: Shipped <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150731> in unknown version <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150731> * Chrome: N ot yet <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=758074> <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=758074>, but i nten ding to i mplement and s hip <https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/topic/blink-dev/2tutRHmhwTE/discussion> * Edge: No *Tests -* ** * Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests* : https://wpt.fyi/html/dom/interfaces.html has basic interface tests and https://wpt.fyi/html/semantics/forms/the-form-element/form-autocomplete.html tests the common parsing logic (not specific to <textarea>) Thanks, Matthew N.
