Is it possible to use form elements in Webkit HTML desktop notifications? I'm tried to open a HTML notification from a Chrome extension, and the <input> I added appears, but I cannot type in it. I'd like to be able to capture the input from it and save it.
var notification = webkitNotifications.createHTMLNotification(chrome.extension.getURL('input-prompt.html'));
notification.show();
<html>
<body>
<form><input type="text" name="here" value="test" /></form>
</body>
</html>

You can get around this in a pretty simple way. You can create a div that serves as your input box, and allow the content of the div to be edited (look here). Then you can use a button or another div as the submit button, then handle the form submit with javascript.
<div contenteditable="true" id="inputBox"></div>
<div id="submitButton" onclick="submitform();">Submit</div>
While I agree that desktop notifications are probably not meant to contain forms, I have a case where having a form in the notification is actually more convenient. I hope this helps.

Notifications are not meant for interactivity. They are meant to notify.
If you want to have interactivity, use an Action instead.
