Bug 29371 – [Qt] Automatically connect JavaScript functions to signal emissions of plugin objects

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: WebCore JavaScript

[Tor Arne Vestbø]

This bug report originated from issue QTBUG-2747
<http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-2747>

--- Description ---

HTML code usually hooks JavaScript functions to events emitted by plugin objects using one of the following syntaxes (assuming that the class behind testWidget has a signal "TestSignal(QString)"):

<object id="testWidget" type="testmime" width="500" height="400">
</object>

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
// Netscape style
testWidget.TestSignal = function(s)
{
    alert(s);
}

// Internet Explorer style
function testWidget::TestSignal(s)
{
   alert(s);
}
</script>


Neither of this works with QtWebKit; the C++ code that wants to hook a signal up with a JavaScript function has to do

webView->page()->mainFrame()->evaluateJavaScript("TestSignal(\"" + s + "\")");

instead.
