418881 - Need a better way to handle microformat properties that can be text or HTML

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit Graveyard :: Microformats, defect)

Description

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

There are a couple microformat properties (note in hCard and description in hCalendar) where I have a datatype of "HTML" and I have created a function called toHTML that returns those as HTML. you use the normal toString to get the string representation.

The problem with my approach is that the HTMLGetter returns a JavaScript object, so string function (match, replace) don't work on it.

I need an approach that totally looks like a string, but happens to have toHTML for getting the HTML.

If there is a better way to do this, I'm up for it, but this seems to work in all my testing.

Needed a toString function as well. Added a test that explicitly made sure .match worked. This makes sure we're a real string.
