Re: can't reset a hidden field in form

In short, resetting a hidden formfield value by the html reset

"control" dos not influence this logic.

Whether it is illogical or not is a personal opinion.

No matter, I started that it was illogical, but perhaps in specs.

And no matter
what that opinion is (mine, yours or anybody else's), the behavior is
easily worked around and when there is a trivial solution then it
seems moot to even worry about it.

I think discussing the logic of specifications is a vey good way to
influence later dicisions of "the people that decide".

The W3C people must lack the vision of the simple users, like we are.

An example of logic:
The logic of any core function trying to parse a number string
as octal, [without the specific base number as an explicit parameter]
in this century, escapes me. Backward compatibility has it's limits.
