41261 - Need a way to recover source text of a tag

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Mitchell Stoltz (not reading bugmail)]

I need a way to recover the original, unmodified source text of an HTML tag at 
the point where the tag is passed off to content creation in nsHTMLContentSink. I 
need this whenever these conditions apply:
1) The tag is preceeded in the document by a SCRIPT ARCHIVE tag. This information 
is stored in the cocumnet principal.
2) the tag contains one or more event handlers.

I need the unmodified text to calculate a hash to compare to a digital signature. 
This is to support signed scripts.

Marking nsbeta2 and Feature...according to rickg this can be handled by 
exception.

Setting to [nsbeta2+].

I'll spend a few hours over the weekend examining the possibility of storing a 
copy of the tag with complete fidelity. Note: I know it's possible, but I'm 
concerned with the possible performance problems. Anyway, mstoltz and I will 
talk again on Monday.

We've decided this isn't necessary for 6.0. Signed scripts using jar:http: URLs 
works fine and the demand for signed scripts is not high enough to warrant big 
changes in the parser. Clearing nsbeta2+ and retargeting "Future".

Mitch decided to use another approach, but I've added the api for future use.
