903358 - window.screen.lockOrientation() documentation wrongly assumes that N arguments can be passed

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: API: DOM, defect)

Description

[Mounir Lamouri (:mounir)]

See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/window.screen.lockOrientation

Actually, the caller can whether pass one DOMString or a sequence<DOMString> but it is always one argument, see the specification:

True Mounir. Also, you should come to a doc sprint once just to try it out, your knowledge of the platform could benefit web devs a lot ;-)

Fixed the page. Tell me if you agree with how it's been changed. If you agree, close this bug. Thanks :-)

David, Mounir already came to a doc sprint ;-) He's a true "friend of the doc".

Sorry about that. I could indeed have done that but I was in the middle of other things. Thanks for fixing this though :)

I added an example with an Array and updated the compat table.
I also turned bug 784549 to dev-doc-complete ;-) (Firefox 18).
