Yes, I realize that these limitations apply to using HTML+CSS+Javascript to improve on web browsers' native functionality. So we may have to resort to browser sniffing to try restrict this added feature to situations where it's not already present. Certainly we should stop trying to override Safari's native capability. Should a website be trying to modify a browser's standard behaviour at all? If your browser lacks text-editing safeguards, then switch to a better browser or build an extension to improve it. But WikiMedia shouldn't be adding “new features” that hamper the way my chosen browser already works. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
