Bug 148269 – Web Inspector: Visual styles sidebar should do something sane for SVG elements

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Timothy Hatcher]

We likely need to have SVG specific sections we swap in and hide the more HTML specific sections.

I like this idea.  What specific sections do you have in mind?

[Timothy Hatcher]

Anything that does not have an effect in SVG. :) I don't know off the top of my head.

Seems good, but I'm weary of the protocol change needed. r- while we work that part out. I suggested a frontend change, does that miss something?

> Source/JavaScriptCore/inspector/protocol/DOM.json:57
> +                { "name": "ownerSVGElement", "$ref": "Node", "optional": true, "description": "SVG element that contains this node." },

Hmm, I think we should avoid adding this to the protocol unless we (1) really need to (2) would get a good performance benefit from it.

I think we should be able to do this in the frontend. For example:

    ownerSVGElement()
    {
        if (this._nodeName === "svg")
            return this;
        if (!this.parentNode)
            return null;
        return this.parentNode.ownerSVGElement;
    }

    isSVGElement()
    {
        return !!this.ownerSVGElement;
    }

Is there something this might miss?

> +        this._groups.position.properties.cx.element.classList.toggle("inactive", !isSVGCircle && !isSVGEllipse && !isSVGRadialGradient);
> +        this._groups.position.properties.cy.element.classList.toggle("inactive", !isSVGCircle && !isSVGEllipse && !isSVGRadialGradient);

My eyes glazed over reading the states here. I trust it, but a few screenshots would help =)

Err, `return this.parentNode.ownerSVGElement()`

Same here =)

Does "is not <svg>" really mean the SVGSVGElement? Because "isSVGElement" is just checking if the element is any kind of SVG element. Perhaps the comment should say "is not an SVG element".

The comments are great but they are the opposite of the conditions. Maybe the conditions should be written to match the comment?

    !( !isSVGElement || isSVGEllipse || isSVGRect || isSVGCircle || isSVGRadialGradient )

This is because it depends on <https://webkit.org/b/158272>, which redefines the Content section in the Visual Styles sidebar.

I still see all existing HTML sections for SVG? Is this intended?

(In reply to comment #14)
> I still see all existing HTML sections for SVG? Is this intended?

The hiding of sections/editors is also derived from <https://webkit.org/b/158272> via the CSS rule:

.sidebar > .panel.details.css-style .visual > .details-section :matches(.details-section, .group).inactive {
    display: none;
}

To answer your question, some of the HTML sections should disappear (float, content, border, list style, etc.) when selecting an SVG element.

Can we separate these two lines from the others, so it is obvious that they are different?

Nit: We normally just say `black` instead of #000?
