[Page Visibility API] Missing string constants

• Component: WebCore Misc.
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Tony Gentilcore]

The IE test center has several page visibility tests, of which we are failing 3 because we do not expose the PAGE_HIDDEN, PAGE_VISIBLE, PAGE_PREVIEW string constants (or rather the WEBKIT_* prefixed versions of those).

Failing tests:

The constants seem to be gone from the latest editor's draft. It didn't make sense having string constants anyway.

Thanks. I missed that update. Instead, I'll try to let someone at MS know the tests are out of date.
