A form-associated element can have a relationship with a form element, which is called the element's form owner. If a form-associated element is not associated with a form element, its form owner is said to be null.
A form-associated element is, by default, associated with its nearest ancestor form element (as described below), but may have a form attribute specified to override this.
This feature allows authors to work around the lack of support for nested form elements.
If a form-associated element has a form attribute specified, then that attribute's value must be the ID of a form element in the element's owner Document.
The rules in this section are complicated by the fact that although conforming documents will never contain nested form elements, it is quite possible (e.g. using a script that performs DOM manipulation) to generate documents that have such nested elements. They are also complicated by rules in the HTML parser that, for historical reasons, can result in a form-associated element being associated with a form element that is not its ancestor.
When a form-associated element is created, its form owner must be initialized to null (no owner).
When a form-associated element is to be associated with a form, its form owner must be set to that form.
When a form-associated element's ancestor chain changes, e.g. because it or one of its ancestors was inserted or removed from a Document, then the user agent must reset the form owner of that element. The HTML parser overrides this requirement when inserting form controls.
