Summary nuke HTMLBaseFontElement interface

Anne van Kesteren

Reported 2009-09-22 07:10:48 PDT

Opera recently removed rendering support for the <basefont> element to be in line with Gecko/WebKit, but the interface is still there because it is still in Gecko/WebKit. Would it be possible to clean this up or are we forever stuck with it? (I realize we're forever stuck with the quirk in the parser.) Gecko: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=518110

Would removing this break anything downstream of the Apple ports?

(In reply to comment #28) > Created an attachment (id=202619) [details] > Patch That's the patch, all the build failures are due to stale bindings that are not updated after the interface is removed and are still including the JSHTMLBaseFont.h header.

It seems like this patch is removing support for basefont in the parser. Both Gecko and Blink only removed the interface so <basefont> maps to HTMLElement and not HTMLUnknownElement.

Comment on attachment 202619 [details] Patch r- since this patch doesn't build.

Zan Dobersek

Comment 39 2013-09-27 08:58:12 PDT

Created attachment 212813 [details] Provisional patch Here's the patch that makes the basefont tag fall back to HTMLUnknownElement and removes the HTMLBaseFontElement interface entirely from the source tree. Unfortunately none of the build systems can complete an incremental build with this patch applied since the generated JSC bindings source code that indirectly includes the removed HTMLBaseFontElement.h header doesn't get regenerated. So this is pretty much blocked until a coordinated effort can be made to enforce clean builds after this lands, or until a mechanism is introduced that would somehow make it possible to have build-webkit enforce clean builds on specific commits.

Seems this got fixed somehow meanwhile. At least html/semantics/interfaces.html no longer suggests <basefont> triggers the old interface in Safari TP.
