Comment (by martinkou):
I've done some investigations today, the nature of this ticket is similar
to #617 and so the extent of changes required would be pretty large.
The issue originates from IE itself. Say, you have an <input type="text">
DOM node, and you assign a size="20" attribute to it in JavaScript, then
the input node's HTML code would not be changed. i.e. the size="20" would
not appear in document.body.innerHTML at all. The attribute would also
appear to be undefined when you try to examine it in JavaScript via DOM
methods. These cause problems when the user tries to examine the text box
again by opening the text field dialog box, or examine the HTML code in
source mode.
But unlike #617, there's one more way for this IE bug to present itself
for this ticket. When you set the innerHTML of any element (say,
document.body) with an <input type="text" size="20">, IE would still
automatically ignore the size="20" attribute it got from the HTML code.
So, even if we've got the DOM->HTML part right (i.e. the user can see
size="20" in Source mode), the attribute would still disappear if the user
presses the Source button again and see the text box in WYSIWYG mode.
If a fix were to be implemented, then at least the following have to be
changed:
1. The text box dialog - it must read and write to an alternative size
attribute since you can't set the value to 20 in the real size attribute.
1. FCKXHtml - it must be able to somehow see the alternative size
attribute and convert it to a real size attribute in the HTML string
output, when the user switches from WYSIWYG to Source mode or when the
user submits the HTML back to the server.
1. FCK.SwitchEditMode() - it must be able to convert any <input
type="text" size="20"> to the alternative size attribute when switching
from Source mode to WYSIWYG mode since setting size="20" in HTML code is
useless.
The patch in #617 has only implemented point 2 and the changes were
already deemed too extensive for 2.6. So maybe this ticket should be left
for 2.7 as well?
