Turns out this actually breaks at least some things that expect (asynchronous) onload events and the like for the about:blank load, at least when Henri tried doing exactly that. I _think_ this was for cases where an explicit about:blank was listed as the src. I did it after absent or empty src had been defaulted to about:blank: so empty, absent and explicit about:blank were all covered. Also, I did it for all browsing contexts--not just iframes. The most obvious test case that broke was testing history navigation in a top-level browsing context (i.e. created in XUL--not as an iframe). It is plausible that my attempt to fix was too naïve and additional tweaking of the events could work. (It is indeed very likely that my attempted fix was too naïve.) Also, making the change only for frames but not for top-level browsing contexts might be worth considering if changing this for top-level browsing contexts is too disruptive. Which leads to the question: Are there known Web compat constraints on navigating a non-framed browsing context to about:blank via window.open() or window.location.href in a previously open()ed window? -- Henri Sivonen hsivo...@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
Re: [whatwg] video abort and error should bubble for simplicity

I'd like them to bubble, because: 1. error events fired on source will bubble to video, which is quite useful if one doesn't particularly care which source failed (one need not register an event handler on each individual source attribute) 2. Implementors don't have to deal with the possibility that events of the same name and type sometimes bubbles and sometimes not. 3. It's the same as for img, which all else equals seems nice and simple. I'll note that video abort/error events in Firefox already seems to bubble while they apparently don't in Safari. We'd like to align with Firefox and have the spec changed. It looks like I was wrong. As far as I can see error/abort doesn't bubble in any other scenario and it seemed to be that way in Firefox because the error event is fired on the video element, or something. No spec change needed. -- Philip Jägenstedt Core Developer Opera Software
Re: [whatwg] HTMLCanvasElement.toFile()
It seems like it the method should be toBlob. This doesn't address my concern that you won't know the mime type of the blob returned. This makes a good case to move the readonly attrbiute DOMString type from File to Blob. dave
