282089 - Allow ISimpleDOMNode style retrieval methods to be used on text nodes

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, defect)

Description

[Aaron Leventhal]

The ISimpleDOMNode methods get_computedStyle() and
get_computedStyleForProperties() only work on element nodes.

However, this is not convenient for assistive technologies that wish to quickly
get style information for a piece of text.

The style methods should work on the text nodes just as the attribute retrieval
methods do.

Actually I should not say the attribute retrieval methods work on it, since text
nodes don't have attributes.

However this is computed style we're talking about and the AT simply wants to
know the results of the cascade for this text frame.
