Bug 56486 – [Qt] HTML5 Drag and Drop demos not working

• Component: New Bugs
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Aparna Nandyal]

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Open QtTestBrowser or a sample QWebView program which does (QWebView view; view.show(); view.load(QUrl("any urls given below"));
2. Load any of the URLs - http://html5demos.com/drag, http://html5demos.com/drag-anything, http://shapeshed.com/examples/drag-and-drop/, http://html5tutorial.net/examples/html5-drag-and-drop.html or other popular demos for html5 D&D.
3. Follow the instructions given in the url. All the URLs allow dragging of some content and dropping it off in designated area.

Expected results:
Drag and drop works fine as stated in the URL

Actual result:
Drop is not working as mentioned in the url. Unable to drop the content.

Covered by existing tests but the DRT does not yet have support for Drag and Drop unfortunatelly.

This fix does not solve the problem with all D&D urls mentioned below. http://html5tutorial.net/examples/html5-drag-and-drop.html example still fails with this fix. 

I have been working to fix the issue with that.

Analysis:
1. For html5 D&D, preventDefault is used to allow dropping in dragOver.

  addEvent(bin, 'dragover', function (e) {
    if (e.preventDefault) e.preventDefault(); // allows us to drop
    this.className = 'over';
    e.dataTransfer.dropEffect = 'copy';
    alert('Hahaha');
    return false;
  });


2. In some implementations it returns false instead of calling preventDefault (IE expects return false) to allow dropping.

  addEvent(bin, 'dragover', function (e) {
    this.className = 'over';
    e.dataTransfer.dropEffect = 'copy';
    alert('Hahaha');
    return false; //allows us to drop
  });


3. If preventDefault is called on the event, then m_defaultPrevented is set to true and droppping succeeds in webkit.
4. So we need to set, m_defaultPrevented even when false is returned (as in step 2) to let dropping succeed. 
5. setReturnValue of Event.h needs to be called.

Working on a fix for this.

Missed mentioning - Patch given by Benjamin is required, in addition to it we need to make changes mentioned in comment#4.
