I sent the following message to the sdk list, but perhaps this list
is more appropriate. Briefly, when loading XHTML into an editable
WebView, the contents are getting rearranged: moving elements from
the HEAD to the BODY. I thought someone here might know where the
code is located that does this editing of rhd source upon load. In
addition to rearranging elements, the WebView is also removing "/"
from self-closing elements. I
Originally, was loading the file as HTML, but i've since corrected
that but still encounter this bug.

Thanks for any assistance.

I'm working on an application that uses WebKit's editing
capabilities. Though the headers show ample support for XHTML
concepts and Safari handles XHTML very well, the use of XHTML in an
editing situation seems to be difficult.
1) First of all, WebView immediately converts all elements in an
XHTML document to upper case, which is not consistent wit the
recommendation.
2) It also converts all self-closing elements to HTML style
implicitly closed elements.
3) WebView removes the DocType declaration and the XML declaration
from the document.
I've found work-arounds for these unfortunate bugs, but now I'm
encounter more difficult problems. If an XHTML document includes
elements from another namespace in the head, WEbView graciously
moves them to the body element instead. The previous issues I
planed to just fix upon save, but now I can't work with non-XHTM
elements in the head whiole the document is editable by WebView
because WebView jmoves those elements to where they do not belong.
I filed a bug report on this, (http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/
show_bug.cgi?id=10507).
Has anyone else encountered these problems and found ways to work
around them. I'd like to get in there and fix them myself, but I'm
not that familiar with C++ and I'm still getting my head around the
vast array of classes. Any thoughts?
best,
Rob Burns
