HTMLScriptElement.text returns empty value

[Mário Araújo]

The text property (the script content of the element) of the HTMLScriptElement 
(http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/CR-DOM-Level-2-20000510/html.html#ID-81598695) 
returns an empty value.

Possible solution (tested and found working by Joost de Valk)

The following patch is taken straight from KHTML, which is not affected
by this bug. Instead of look at the TEXT attribute, the text is now 
extracted from the TEXT child.

This doesn't handle the case where the <script> contains multiple text nodes,
or text nodes and cdata nodes, or text nodes and cdata nodes and comment nodes
and element nodes and entity nodes.

It should probably be a little cleverer. :-)

[Niels Leenheer (HTML5test)]

Konqueror handles the following testcases just fine: CDATA, 
multiple nodes and mixed nodes types.

Did you come to your conclusion after testing the patch, or
just from looking at the patch?

Extended testcase

This test case will also test for multiple nodes and mixed node types.

[Joost de Valk (AlthA)]

At this time the patches won't build.

JdV: works for me :)

[Ian 'Hixie' Hickson]

Those two testcases are sent as text/html and therefore do not test the XML case
that I was referring to. (There are no comments or CDATA blocks in those
testcases, since they are parsed as HTML, in which the parser treats the entire
<script> element as having a single CDATA block.)

I'll change the testcase attached to this bug to have the right MIME type. Test
it again and you should see that it in fact doesn't work.

When running that test as XML you should see, for the .text attribute of each
<script> element in the file:

1. Two blank lines for the first <script> block ("\n\n"). (And indeed the entire
   test won't run when you send it as XML since the script that runs the test is 
   commented out.)
2. Two blank lines for the second <script> block.
3. The following for the third: "\n\nfunction noname2(){\n\t/*script*/\n\n}\n"
4. For the fourth: "\nfunction noname3(){\n\t/*script*/\n}\n"
5. Then: "\n\n\n"
6. The sixth is the following two strings concatenated (I couldn't fit them
   on one line here):
      "\n\nfunction noname5a(){\n\t/*script*/\n}\n" 
      "\n\nfunction noname5b(){\n\t/*script*/\n}\n"
7. And finally: "\n\n\nfunction noname6b(){\n\t/*script*/\n}\n\n"

...where of course "\t" is a tab character and "\n" is a newline character.

Also note that "document.getElementsByTagName("SCRIPT");" shouldn't work in
XHTML, you'll have to do this instead: 
   document.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml", "script")
Namely, you have to use lowercase and you have to use the *NS variant and give
the namespace.

I've replaced the text() function with the following snippet() and it seems to
work, with one exception:

<script>
<[CDATA[

   ...

]]>
</script>

The newline between <script> and <[CDATA[ is not included. Neither is the
newline between ]]> and </script>. Those newlines should be of node type
TEXT_NODE, so the most probably cause is that they are stripped elsewhere,
because they only contain whitespace.


DOMString HTMLScriptElementImpl::text() const
{
    if (firstChild()) {
        QString scriptCode = "";
        NodeImpl *child;

        for (child = firstChild(); child; child = child->nextSibling()) {
            if (child->nodeType() == Node::TEXT_NODE || child->nodeType() ==
Node::CDATA_SECTION_NODE) {
                scriptCode += child->nodeValue().string();
            }
        }
        return scriptCode;
    }
    return "";
}

I still need to look at the other function. Replacing the text also becomes more
complicated, because we may need to replace multiple nodes with a single text
node...

XHTML and HTML compatible patch

A modified patch that is compatible with both documents that are parsed by the
XML parser and documents parsed by the HTML parser.

XML behavoir is tested with:
http://www.rakaz.nl/projects/safari/showscripts.php

HTML behavoir is tested with:
http://www.rakaz.nl/projects/safari/showscripts.html

[Anders Carlsson]

Looks like the fix I did for 3256 fixes this as well (except for changing HTMLScriptElement::text() and 
setText() to call the implementation)

[Niels Leenheer (HTML5test)]

This bug can be closed, the fix suggested in this bug is incorporated into the
patch for bug 3526.
