Bug 29621 – Add port-specific control over rendering of media control elements

• Component: WebCore Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Andrew Scherkus]

Ports should be able to control whether a media control element is rendered or not.

Draft

This is a draft of deferring the decision on rendering a media control element to the RenderTheme.

This is my first real dive into Element/RenderObject/Style/Theme interaction, so feel free to point out my mistakes :)

[Andrew Scherkus]

The overall change is:
 1) Media control elements will always create a renderer
 2) RenderTheme decides whether those renderers will be visible based on inspecting the HTMLMediaElement

Forgot I had left my previous bug open.  Closing.

This shouldn't be necessary. I think if have both MediaControlElement:: rendererIsNeeded and MediaControlInputElement:: rendererIsNeeded call the theme method it should just work.

We do want to call the the base class method, an element could not need a renderer for other reasons (eg. CSS).

oops, wrong bug.
