157105 - embedding: make editable API needs to be recursive (framesets)

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P5)

Description

[Kathleen :Brade]

In order for editor embedding to be complete, we need to complete this task:
 * The API for set editable need to be recursive

I don't quite understand this, why would it need to be recursive? Once we're in
editing mode, isn't everything in that document editable?

nsIEditingSession sits at the root content level. Inside it, you might have
loaded a frameset. makeEditable() needs a flag that says 'recurse through the
child windows and make each one editable', and there has to be an implementation
behind that.

i think this is done i need to talk to simon to see if he has any other plans 
for making this automatically recursive.  We can right now iterate through all 
nsIDOMWindows and make each one editable. Is this enough or do we really need 
an extra parameter?

It really needs to happen inside the embedding interface, because it's much
easier for us to write the code (and use private convenience APIs like the
docshell iterator) than for an embedder to write it.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=3 years untouched DOM/Storage bug's priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong, please write a comment and ni :jstutte.

I think that we have no plan to support embedding now.
