For example: using it to check if a checkbox is set returns "on" when checked,
but that has to be either inferred from knowing the HTML4 spec, or discovered by testing
the program.

A small summary of what kind of strings can possibly be returned would be really helpful.

Comment 1:

We have to stop documenting somewhere. It may not be "on". It depends on the browser,
form, HTML, etc.

Status changed to WorkingAsIntended.

Comment 2 by J.L.vanderZwan:

Well, if it's that unpredictable I understand, but what about a hint where to find more
information on that then? Because this is basically stating you can't use it unless you
already know what it does, which isn't exactly helpful either.
BTW, I submitted this as a result of this discussion, maybe you could chime in there?
