If a user creates a form without a method attribute, it seems like most browsers will handle this at the time of form submission. So upon inspection of the form element after the DOM is ready, you can see that there is no "method" attr of the form element object.

So, the following: <...

A recent twitter post I've seen made some comment to the effect of "the DOM is Javascript's ugly date". I tend to think that the DOM is a horrible way to define user interfaces and certainly in the context of multiple browsers with their quirks I find trying to build sophisticated web apps with complex view layouts to be a completely fr...
