Bug 268251 – Add support for SVGAElement's text attribute

• Component: SVG
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Ahmad Saleem]

Hi Team,

It is to add parity to HTMLAnchorElement and it is in web-spec:

https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/linking.html#InterfaceSVGAElement


It seems easy to add and progress two WPT test cases in 'svg/idlharness.window.html'.

I have local build with patch as well.

Just wanted to raise this so we can do this.

Thanks!

>> Source/WebCore/svg/SVGAElement.cpp:

String SVGAElement::text()
{
    return textContent();
}

void SVGAElement::setText(String&& text)
{
    setTextContent(WTFMove(text));
}

>> Source/WebCore/svg/SVGAElement.h: (In public)

WEBCORE_EXPORT String text();
void setText(String&&);

>> Source/WebCore/svg/SVGAElement.idl:

[CEReactions=Needed] attribute DOMString text;

__

That's it.

@Frances - do you want to take this?

[Ahmad Saleem]

Might have to add:

>> Source/WebCore/svg/svgattrs.in:

'text' (without quotes) as well.

Might progress this as well:

and

As mentioned - https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/931 - Firefox is removing this.

So WONTFIX.
