This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Documentation for "getText" doesn't say "If no alert is present a no such alert error MUST be raised." Also it's said: > This will return the text that is currently in the modal. But it's said "Show the given message to the user.", not "text" in the HTML5 spec(http://www.w3.org/TR/html51/webappapis.html#dom-alert) so I think it would be better to say: > This will return the message shown in the modal. If no alert is present a no such alert error MUST be raised.
... with a specific description of what kind of error and/or a reference to #status-codes section.
