to add new flags (pass a flag in the constructor, rather than specific
booleans. This in order to fix:
11249: Add flag to write only the body in html output.
The owner of the editor can now initialize the editor,
set up its own listeners if it wants to, then the editor will set up it's own
backstop listeners as part of PostCreate().
The backstop key listener now ignores ENTER for single line text controls.
Ugly to have to do it here, it would be better if the owner could just swallow the key event.
Added some comments of the form "// XXX: ERROR_HANDLING <explanation>"
wherever I saw a potential error but wasn't 100% sure of the intention of the code.
Fixed a few bugs along the way.
a mime type and a flag argument. Also fix the following bugs:
9746: get rid of bogus empty <style> in head.
8143: save wrap column in editor shell in case it's set before the
editor is created.
9470, 9488: allow explicit specification of formatted output.
* added focus listener. Doesn't do much yet, but when focus notifications start appearing, we'll be ready for them. The code is in
place to hide selection when we lose focus and paint selection when we get focus. That's probably not quite right, but it's a start.
We will need to be able to determine the distinction between losing focus to another control within our app, and losing focus to
another app.
* added support for disabled and readonly states in the editor. This is accomplished by having flags set by the client, and letting the
rules system deal with those flags. The flags I added are:
TEXT_EDITOR_FLAG_PLAINTEXT 0x01 // only plain text editing is allowed
TEXT_EDITOR_FLAG_SINGLELINE 0x02 // enter key and CR-LF handled specially
TEXT_EDITOR_FLAG_PASSWORD 0x04 // text is not entered into content, only a representative character
TEXT_EDITOR_FLAG_READONLY 0x08 // editing events are disabled. Editor may still accept focus.
TEXT_EDITOR_FLAG_DISALBED 0x10 // all events are disabled (like scrolling). Editor will not accept focus.
* added WillInsertBreak/DidInsertBreak into text rules, so flags could be checked. This gets us readonly, disabled, and single line
behavior.
* cleaned up the code that allocates, registers, and destroys event listeners. Thanks to Kin and Simon for cleaning up the
ownership model on the listeners, it was a big help.
* added support for a max text length. You can now tell the text editor, be no bigger than n characters.
features like set paragraph style, set list type, indent, etc. I'm sure there's holes in my
implementation that these high level features will make obvious.
2. I've factored a lot of utility methods from several modules into nsEditor as public static methods.
This makes them easily accessable to all, and will help Joe and I remove redundant methods.
3. I changed the HTML tags to lower case, and made all string compares case-insensitive. No, this
isn't quite the right thing to do, but we don't have atoms from layout yet. The Right Thing is for us
to reuse those atoms.
