Bug 91656 – Previous API changes to Webframe causes failures in certain apps

• Component: WebKit API
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Roger Fong]

Changes to the resumeAnimations and suspendAnimations methods in WebFrame causes certain apps to crash because of inconsistencies in the COM interface.
The counterValueByElementId method was also removed.
However, for all of these methods, no method stubs were added where appropriate after removal.
Re-adding resume and suspend methods back into WebFrame API and adding unused method stub for counterValueByElementId.

Patch to re add in API changes to WebFrame that previously made dependent apps crash

I also rearranged method definitions in WebFrame.h to match the idl file...though this wasn't necessary...
I can roll those back if people want me too...

I'm thinking that making the minimum necessary change is probably best.

Format should be:

<radar url>

<reviewed by>

<long description>

<file/change list>

(i.e. remove the "Radar:" and move the long description below the reviewed by line).

> Source/WebKit/win/ChangeLog:24
> +        Rearranged ordering of methods of method definitions to match interface file.

Ideally we'd do this in another patch (or not at all).

Typo: cause, not causes.

Same here.
