This is used surprisingly often. For example, it is used by a core
YouTube library called Structured Page Fragments.
It allows you to manually dispatch an event with arbitrary data
attached to it.
The only thing missing from this implementation is the constructor.
This is because WrapperGenerator is currently missing dictionary
capabilities.
We now fire "pageshow" events at the appropriate time during document
loading (done by the parser.)
Note that there are no corresponding "pagehide" events yet.
This will be used to determine whether "pageshow" and "pagehide" events
are appropriate. We won't actually make use of it until we implement
more of history traversal and document unloading.
The only difference from what we were already doing is that setting the
same ready state twice no longer fires a "readystatechange" event.
I don't think that could happen in practice though.
We have to mark the EventListener objects so that we can tell them apart
from listeners added via the addEventListener() API.
This makes element.onfoo getters actually return the handler function.
We will now spin in "the end" until there are no more "things delaying
the load event". Of course, nothing actually uses this yet, and there
are a lot of things that need to.
The old name is the result of the perhaps somewhat confusingly named
abstract operation OrdinaryFunctionCreate(), which creates an "ordinary
object" (https://tc39.es/ecma262/#ordinary-object) in contrast to an
"exotic object" (https://tc39.es/ecma262/#exotic-object).
However, the term "Ordinary Function" is not used anywhere in the spec,
instead the created object is referred to as an "ECMAScript Function
Object" (https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-ecmascript-function-objects), so
let's call it that.
The "ordinary" vs. "exotic" distinction is important because there are
also "Built-in Function Objects", which can be either implemented as
ordinary ECMAScript function objects, or as exotic objects (our
NativeFunction).
More work needs to be done to move a lot of infrastructure to
ECMAScriptFunctionObject in order to make FunctionObject nothing more
than an interface for objects that implement [[Call]] and optionally
[[Construct]].
Resolved style is a spec concept that refers to the weird mix of
computed style and used style reflected by getComputedStyle().
The purpose of this class is to produce the *computed* style for a given
element, so let's call it StyleComputer.
The original name was based on the window.getComputedStyle() API.
However, "Computed" in "getComputedStyle" is actually a misnomer that
the platform is stuck with due to backwards compatibility.
What getComputedStyle() returns is actually a mix of computed and used
values. The spec calls it the "resolved" values. So let's call this
declaration subclass "ResolvedCSSStyleDeclaration" to match.
This also moves getElementsByTagName to ParentNode to remove the code
duplication between Document and Element. This additionally fixes a bug
where getElementsByTagName did not check if the element was a
descendant, meaning it would also include the context element if the
condition matched.
Instead of firing up a network request and synchronously blocking for it
to finish via a nested event loop, we now start an asynchronous request
when encountering <script src>.
Once the script load finishes (or fails), it gets executed at one of the
synchronization points in the HTML parser.
This solves some long-standing issues with random unexpected events
getting dispatched in the middle of parsing.
The HTML spec tells has some special rules for <body> and <frameset>
elements' onfoo event handler attributes. In some cases, the implicitly
generated event listeners should end up on the relevant global object
instead of the element itself.
This patch implements the first part of that behavior.
This logic was kept in the GlobalEventHandlers mixing for sharing
between Document and HTMLElement, but there are other interfaces who
need to support `onfoo` attribute event listeners as well.
Rather than destroying and rebuilding the entire document layout tree in
every call to `ComputedCSSStyleDeclaration::property()`, we now just
make sure that the layout tree exists.
This speeds up the DOM Inspector significantly, from taking several
seconds to select an element, to almost instant. :^)
