Product: WebAppsWG Version: unspecified Hardware: PC OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: HTML Editing APIs Assignee: a...@aryeh.name Reporter: andyearnshaw...@gmail.com QA Contact: sideshowbarker+html-editing-...@gmail.com CC: m...@w3.org, public-webapps@w3.org Currently, the editing spec defines that something is editable when the following is true[1]: > Something is editable if it is a node; it is not an editing host; > it does not have a contenteditable attribute set to the false state; > its parent is an editing host or editable; and either it is an HTML > element, or it is an svg or math element, or it is not an Element > and its parent is an HTML element. I think this should be expanded to include HTML form fields that can accept text input. This is already the behaviour in Chrome and Internet Explorer for some commands, though Firefox throws an error[2]. Although the majority of formatting commands might be useless, insertText, delete and forwardDelete could be useful for JavaScript based IMEs/virtual keyboards, along with cut, copy, paste, undo, redo and selectAll from the miscellaneous commands. There's also a use case for editors that switch between a designmode enabled iframe for formatted editing and a text area for raw editing - these editors would be able to reuse a lot of the same very short code (especially in the case of "insertText") without having to slice, concat and set the element values.
