70055 - Get style.zIndex not yet implemented

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: CSS Object Model, defect)

Description

[Brian 'netdragon' Bober]

Getting zIndex is not yet implemented. When you try to return the zIndex, it 
returns a null string. I will omit personal opinion about this except to say I 
hope it gets implemented soon.


NS_IMETHODIMP
nsComputedDOMStyle::GetZIndex(nsAWritableString& aZIndex)
{
return NS_ERROR_DOM_NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR;
}

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/content/html/style/src/nsComputedDOMStyle.
cpp#1334

Testcase will be attached.

I also noticed that a few more things in that file weren't implemented.

Added z-index support. Please use getPropertyValue("z-index").

harishd: will element.style.zIndex eventually work too?

Comment 7

[harishd]

Talked to jst and he doesn't think that we will ever support 
element.style.property. 

Anyway, the above bug afaik is FIXED. Marking it so.

Ok, I talked to Hixie, and I guess element.style is just an attribute.

Ok, http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Style/ecma-script-binding.html 
element.style is of type CSSStyleDeclaration and CSS2Properties using interface 
binding in c++ (which is automatic in javascript). zIndex is a member of 
CSS2Properties.
