Are you planning to expose this attribute to web content?

Subject: RFC: new attribute 'mozscrollgrab' for B2G address bar scrolling

Hello,

I'm working on making the address bar in the browser app work more like Fennec 
(bug 860812).

As part of this work, we want the <div> enclosing the address bar and the content iframe to have 
special scrolling behaviour. Specifically, we want this <div> (which will be overflow:scroll once my 
patches land) to scroll before content in the iframe scrolls. Once the div has scrolled as far as possible, 
the remaining scroll will be handed off to the iframe. We can call this behaviour "scroll 
grabbing", in the sense that the <div> grabs the scroll before it gets to the iframe.

To ensure that only apps that explicitly want this behaviour get it, I am proposing 
that we introduce a new attribute called 'mozscrollgrab', which the browser app would 
set on the <div> in question. Only elements with this attribute would get the 
scroll grabbing behaviour.

I propose that this attribute be unofficial/undocumented for now, until we are 
confident that this is the right design for us, at which point we can make it 
official/documented if we want.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Botond
