I support this proposal. While supporting the attribute itself does not impose much maintenance cost, the fact that our implementation is completely different from that of IE poses a serious compatibility problem.
Also, there's an alternative to check each value of type that works on all modern browsers: "none" - getSelection().rangeCount() == 0 "caret" - getSelection().isCollapsed "range" - getSelection().rangeCount() && !getSelection().isCollapsed - Ryosuke On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 9:58 PM, Antaryami Pandia <xqb...@motorola.com>wrote: > > We plan to remove the "type" attribute from DOM selection. > This attribute is not part of any standard specification and the current > webkit implementation is not consistent with IE. > I looked at Firefox's selection interface and found its not implemeted > there (http://doxygen.db48x.net/mozilla/html/interfacensISelection.html). > > The webkit bug is https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23853 > > Please let me know, any concerns about removal of this attribute. > > Regards, > -Antaryami > > _______________________________________________ > webkit-dev mailing list > webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org > http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev > >
