Re: [MIDAS] How to use css:font-size instead of html:font

[cs]

Hi,

 you may try the function used in the composer to change insert inline
 style : in editor.js,
  EditorSetTextProperty(property,attribute,value).
 It produce a "span" block with style "property" set to "value".
 Only problem is that it seems to work only on selected text, i.e. you
 can not choose to change font size, then write a text whose size would
 be changed.
 Below is the needed code extracted from editor.js & associated files.
 You may just take it and modify i to fit your needs.
---------

 function GetCurrentEditor(  )
{
  var editor;
  try {
    var editorElement = document.getElementById("YOUR_IFRAME_ID") ;
    editor = editorElement.getEditor(editorElement.contentWindow);
    // Do QIs now so editor users won't have to figure out which 
interface to use
    // Using "instanceof" does the QI for us.
    editor instanceof Components.interfaces.nsIPlaintextEditor;
    editor instanceof Components.interfaces.nsIHTMLEditor;
  } catch (e) { dump (e)+"\n"; }

  return editor;
}
function EditorSetTextProperty(property, attribute, value)
{
  try {
    if (!gAtomService) GetAtomService();
    var propAtom = gAtomService.getAtom(property);
    GetCurrentEditor().setInlineProperty(propAtom, attribute, value);
    if ("gContentWindow" in window) 
               window.gContentWindow.focus();
  } catch(e) {}
}

var gAtomService;
function GetAtomService()
{
  gAtomService = 
Components.classes["@mozilla.org/atom-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIAtomService);
}

Hi,
I use execCommand("fontsize", false, "150%") to set font size in an 
editable Iframe within my XUL app. This results in a HTML string using 
the deprecated font element: <font size="150"> instead of something like 
<span style="font-size:150%">

How can I change that?
Well, I could replace the font element in the resulting html string, but 
that will lead to a couple of other problems when editing the same 
element again.

Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks
Daniel
