https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/234683/webkit added support for null-namespace 'href' attribute on SVG elements; however, it doesn't look to conform the spec when there are both 'href' and 'xlink:href' attributes. The spec says: > When the ‘href’ attribute is present in both the XLink namespace and without a namespace, the value of the attribute without a namespace shall be used. The attribute in the XLink namespace shall be ignored. - https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/linking.html#XLinkRefAttrs But https://w3c-test.org/svg/linking/reftests/href-use-element.html , which is the wpt for, falis on STP (77).

Safari/iOS are the only ones missing this support, even old IE supports it. Details in https://css-tricks.com/on-xlinkhref-being-deprecated-in-svg/ And FYI "xlink:href is deprecated" https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/xlink:href, meaning xlink:href eventually must be dropped.

Comment on attachment 377898 [details] Patch Is it correct to have special cases for empty strings? What about a string with a single space in it, for example? I agree that null strings, which are used to represent lack of the attribute, are a special case. But I don’t understand why we would special case empty strings, which indicate the attribute without a value or with a value that is explicitly "".
Comment on attachment 377898 [details] Patch Aren’t there other call sites where we call getAttribute on href? I seem to remember one using the multiple-argument getAttribute function.

Hi Darin, nice to see you again :-) Oh yes, plenty of call sites: dom/Element.cpp: linkAttribute = getAttribute(SVGNames::hrefAttr, XLinkNames::hrefAttr); dom/VisitedLinkState.cpp: return &element.getAttribute(SVGNames::hrefAttr, XLinkNames::hrefAttr); svg/SVGAElement.cpp: m_storedVisitedLinkHash = computeVisitedLinkHash(document().baseURL(), getAttribute(SVGNames::hrefAttr, XLinkNames::hrefAttr)); svg/SVGAltGlyphElement.cpp: auto target = targetElementFromIRIString(getAttribute(SVGNames::hrefAttr, XLinkNames::hrefAttr), document()); svg/SVGFontFaceUriElement.cpp: auto src = CSSFontFaceSrcValue::create(getAttribute(SVGNames::hrefAttr, XLinkNames::hrefAttr), LoadedFromOpaqueSource::No); svg/SVGFontFaceUriElement.cpp: const AtomString& href = getAttribute(SVGNames::hrefAttr, XLinkNames::hrefAttr); svg/SVGGlyphRefElement.cpp: auto target = targetElementFromIRIString(getAttribute(SVGNames::hrefAttr, XLinkNames::hrefAttr), document()); svg/SVGImageElement.cpp: return getAttribute(SVGNames::hrefAttr, XLinkNames::hrefAttr); svg/animation/SVGSMILElement.cpp: auto& href = getAttribute(SVGNames::hrefAttr, XLinkNames::hrefAttr);

Currently both SVGNames::hrefAttr and XLinkNames::hrefAttr are mapped to the same SVGURIReference::m_href object: PropertyRegistry::registerProperty<SVGNames::hrefAttr, &SVGURIReference::m_href>(); PropertyRegistry::registerProperty<XLinkNames::hrefAttr, &SVGURIReference::m_href>(); In an ideal world, we would split this into "m_href" and "m_xlinkHref" and indicate the attribute presence as non-null (opposed to non-empty) strings. Then we could implement the desired SVG2 behaviour right in a custom href() accessor that either returns m_href or m_xlinkHref...

Looking at https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/linking.html#XLinkRefAttrs, the spec mostly talks about attribute presence, which I interpret as an isNull check.

Can we also add tests for href/xlink:href attributes with empty values, and maybe check what other browsers are doing in that specific case?

I changed the code to check for the existence of the attribute, i.e. checking the string isNull().

I do not think this solution will work well with the href property. Consider this example: <use id="use" xlink:href="#red-rect"/> <script> var use = document.getElementById("use"); // href1 will be linked to m_xlinkHref whose baseVal is equal to "#red-rect" var href1 = use.href; use.setAttribute("href", "#green-rect"); // href2 will be linked to m_href which is equal to "#green-rect" var href2 = use.href; assert_false(href1.baseVal != href2.baseVal); </script> So in this example, although href1 and href2 are initialized with the same value "use.href", they are referencing two different SVGAnimatedStrings. This is because the custom SVGURIReference::href() will decide to return m_xlinkHref for href1 but will return m_href for href2.

We need to set m_href to the Xlink::hrefAttr if value.isNull(). Otherwise a case like this will fail <use id="use8" xlink:href="#green-rect" href="#red-rect"/> <script> var use8 = document.getElementById("use8"); // Before this statement, m_herf has the value of the href attribute which is "#red-rect" // After this statement, m_herf has to be set to the value of Xlink::href which is "#green-rect" use8.removeAttribute("href"); </script> >> Source/WebCore/svg/SVGURIReference.cpp:56 >> + m_href->setBaseValInternal(value); > > We could return early here since the if XLinkNames::hrefAttr check should always be false if name is SVGNames::hrefAttr.

Done. ast/selectors/any-link-basics-2.html covers many error cases for both href and Xlink::href.

Fully correct, "in an ideal world" was meant to read: it is not possible due to some constraints (which you correctly pointed out). The current solution - last patch - is just fine!

Yes. I copied it from the new test svg/custom/href-xlink-href-use-element.svg. And I confirmed this test case fails in WebKit without this patch while it passes in Chrome and FireFox.

And if it’s guaranteed to be non-null, why is this a pointer rather than a reference? Yes it is guaranteed that contextElement is not null. In fact m_href->contextElement() is equal to 'this'. SVGURIReference has to be created as a base class for a concrete SVGElement like SVGImageElement. When the concrete SVGElement is created it passes 'this' as the contextElement to SVGURIReference. SVGURIReference passes the contextElement to its m_href. m_href keeps this back pointer as long as the contextElement lives. The purpose of having contextElement owned by m_href is to give it the ability to synchronize its new baseVal to the contextElement. <script> var use = document.getElementById("use"); var href = use.href; href.baseVal = "http://example.com"; console.log(use.getAttribute("href")); // This should show "http://example.com". use.remove(); // href should exist after removing its contextElement but no attribute synchronization will be done from now on. </script> -- Why doesn't m_href->contextElement() return SVGElement& instead of SVGElement*? Because the m_href can be detached if the contextElement is deleted. In this case m_href->m_contextElement has to be set to null. -- Why doesn't SVGURIReference retains a SVGElement& instead of getting it through the contextElement() method of any property it owns? It was done this way to reduce the memory size of SVGURIReference by the size of a raw pointer. -- Can't SVGURIReference use downcast<SVGElement>(this) to get the contextElement? No it can't because SVGElement is not a superclass of SVGURIReference? -- Can't we ASSERT(this == m_href->contextElement())? No we can't because the compiler does not send the pointer of the concrete class, e.g. SVGImageElement, as the value of 'this' when SVGURIReference::parseAttribute() is called. It sends a shifted pointer such that it points to the beginning of the data block of SVGURIReference. So although the debugger may show 'this' and m_href->contextElement() have the same value, the expression 'this == m_href->contextElement()' will be devalued to false.
