Bug 178016 – DataTransfer.items does not contain items for custom types supplied via add or setData

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: HTML Editing

[Wenson Hsieh]

DataTransfer.items does not contain items for custom types supplied via add or setData. This is not a major issue if there are no files in the DataTransfer, since the page can use DataTransfer.types and DataTransfer.getData to retrieve custom type data. But if there are files, we'll report only ["Files"] for DataTransfer.types, and not expose custom data in the DataTransferItemList.

This behavior diverges from both Chrome (61.0) and FireFox (56.0).

It is probably not right to use stringWhiteSpace here; that function uses the Unicode definition of whitespace, not the one that we’d normally use in HTML. Instead we would normally use stripLeadingAndTrailingHTMLSpaces.

It would be nice to have a named function for this test that we do in three different places in this patch.

Fixed. I also adjusted normalizeTypes() to do the same.

Sounds good!
