Description Raghu 2008-10-31 02:20:35 PDT 
In XHTML content, the embedded NS Plugin <object></object> is NOT automatically instantiated by invoking NPP_GetValue(NPPVpluginScriptableNPObject) and hence, the object is not scriptable.

The NS plugin code has implementation for NPPVpluginScriptableNPObject.


Notes: 
-------
The same object, when embedded in a HTML content is automatically instantiated by invoking NPP_GetValue(NPPVpluginScriptableNPObject) and hence becomes scriptable object.

This bug is observed on WebKit-r37990 and below nightly versions with Gtk build and by running GtkLauncher.

plugin .so file & test content files

Find the NS Plugin .so file attached.
Also, attached are two test files, 1) HTML & 2) XHTML to test scriptability.

The XHTML file, as the bug says, doesn't recognize the 'media' object and throws error:  @20: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: media

Whereas , the HTML content can resolve the 'media' object. and the NPP_GetValue (NPPVpluginScriptableNPObject) implementation of the plugin prints:
Plugin:Creating Scriptable object.   (( mediaobjectplugin.c, 525 ))

Hope the information will be helpful.
