The attributes index table deals with attribute values, so we want the keywords ("get", "post", "dialog") rather than the states ("GET", "POST", "dialog").

I’ve also linked the formmethod values to their definitions, as seems sane to me, and matching the precedent set by formenctype.

This change is purely editorial, amending a non-normative index.


This is a resubmission of #5156 which I abandoned for WHATWG-procedural reasons which no longer apply; but I don’t seem to be able to reopen that one (probably due to the target branch being renamed, and I can’t even change the base branch like the docs say I should be able to). Turns out I don’t even need to rebase it.


💥 Error: Wattsi server error 💥

PR Preview failed to build. (Last tried on Jun 17, 2026, 8:28 AM UTC).

PR Preview relies on a number of web services to run. There seems to be an issue with the following one:

🚨 Wattsi Server - Wattsi Server is the web service used to build the WHATWG HTML spec.

Error output:

Parsing MDN data...
Parsing...
Parse Error: (850,51) unexpected li end tag

This seems to be an issue with the Wattsi Server service. PR Preview doesn't manage this service and so has no control over it. If you've identified an issue with it, you can report the issue to the maintainers of Wattsi Server directly. Please be courteous. Thank you!

If you don't have enough information above to solve the error by yourself or if the issue doesn't seem related to Wattsi Server, you can file an issue with PR Preview.
