Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: ActiveX Wrapper, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316

When embedding gecko using the active x wrapper project, I noticed that the
"title" attribute did not work on plain text. I was trying to view: "<ACRONYM
title="Standardized Apptitude Test">SAT</ACRONYM>".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. View a page with the title attribute
2. Move mouse to titled element
3. Tooltip does not pop-up

Actual Results:  
No tooltip

Expected Results:  
An informative tooltip

Note to self. Control needs to implement nsITooltipListener and pose a tooltip
through the onShowTooltip methods..

Attachment: Patch

Patch implements CBrowserToolTip, a window for showing a tooltip and the
nsITooltipListener interface on the browser container.

Patch was edited for cruft and might not apply cleanly.

The ActiveX embedding API was removed in bug 662023 and friends, making this INVALID.
