Hi,
I noticed a change to HTML::Form::ListInput's add_to_form() method
between versions 5.79 and 5.800 of libwww-perl (revisions 1.39 and
1.44 of HTML/Form.pm) that I'm not sure was intentional. Previously,
a <select> tag like this:
<select name="foo" multiple="">
was interpreted as a multiple select menu. In the newer versions, it
is not. As far as I can tell from the HTML specs, that's illegal HTML
(it should just be multiple, or multiple="multiple", or nothing). But
I think the old way that Form.pm interpreted it is more realistic, and
it conforms with the way I've seen it work on a couple of browsers.
This would be a patch for Form.pm revision 1.49 (libwww-perl-5.803):
1009c1009
< if ($type eq "option" && $self->{multiple}) {
---
> if ($type eq "option" && exists $self->{multiple}) {
Apologies if this has already been discussed -- I just joined the list
to put it out there.
