ixsl:contains() returns true for missing 'value' property
0%
Description
I made a test that handles ixsl:onclick for an empty input (<input id="empty-value"/>). The stylesheet is here.
Calling ixsl:contains(., 'value') always returns true() -- with or without entering the value. (It's being printed out to console in the test.)
I suspect this is because HTML elements (or at least inputs) contain an implicit value property? Was trying to find a confirmation of this on MDN but couldn't so far.
In any case such behavior of ixsl:contains() is rather counter-intuitive.

Yes, it looks like an HTMLInputElement always has a value property: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLInputElement
So I'm afraid the ixsl:contains() result is right. Can you instead just do a check whether the value is the empty string?

OK I guess we can close this then :)

Closing this issue with no action; the ixsl:contains function is behaving as expected.
