669004 - dataTransfer.getData() doesn't properly alias "text" and "url"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 662173

(Core :: DOM: Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop, defect, P5)

Description

[Nicholas C. Zakas]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1
Build ID: 20110413222027

Steps to reproduce:

Trying to use dataTransfer.getData() in a cross-browser way.


Actual results:

When dragging a link onto a drop target, calling event.dataTransfer.getData("url") returned an empty string. event.dataTransfer.getData("text/uri-list") and event.dataTransfer.getData("text/plain") both work.


Expected results:

In IE, Chrome, and Safari, calling event.dataTransfer.getData("url") returns the URL, I expected the same. "url" should be aliased to "text/uri-list" and "text" should be aliased to "text/plain". N

Comment 1

[Neil Deakin]

This is likely caused by bug 662173, as an older spec assumed uppercase for the 'URL' type.

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=5 years untouched DOM/Storage bugs' priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong (especially for the severity), please write a comment and ni :jstutte.

I think bug 662173 also fix this, and I could not reproduce anymore.
