Description Damien 2005-05-16 12:48:24 UTC
When using the 'application/xhtml+xml' content type document.write() function do not work 
in 'skins/common/wikibits.js'. You should instead use the DOM.

I use this to select the content type based on the browser's HTTP_ACCEPT:

$wgMimeType = in_array('application/xhtml+xml', array_map('trim', explode(',', 
$_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT']))) ? 'application/xhtml+xml' : 'text/html';

I will include a patch, but I will not work on (at least not anytime soon) addButton() or 
addInfobox() as I currently do not understand them. I first noticed this bug concerning 
the DOM with showTocToggle().

The patch has had the showTocToggle() tested on Opera 7.54u2, Mozilla Firefox 1.0.2 and 
Internet Explorer 6. The 'special stylesheet links' has not been tested.

In addition to this bug, Opera should use document.createElementNS() rather than document.
createElement(). Internet Explorer does not support document.createElementNS, so a check 
should be performed before using it. This was first discovered in tabbedprefs(), which has 
also been included in the patch and tested.

Proposed patch for bug 2186

Version 1 Patch by Damien Bezborodow. Further notes included in comments.
Compare with the current file of 1.4.4 to see my changes.
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2005-05-16 19:43:59 UTC
Please make sure you're working from CVS HEAD, *not* the 1.4 release branch.

Bug 2186 patch

This has been updated to be relevent to the CVS head. There are still some
instances of document.write() that need to be removed.

The use of document.createElementNS() will solve issues in Opera, but they may
not work in HTML.

Furthermore this script will need testing. If the current version works on the
CVS version, then this should too.

Updated patch

Updated patch to remove the last of the document.write()'s in wikibits. These are all <link> CSS, so I made a new function called appendLinkedCss() to add new child DOM objects to the head.

Just want some review, as Javascript isn't my strongest.
Comment 5 Brion Vibber 2008-07-05 00:06:19 UTC
Shouldn't this just use importStylesheetURI() instead of creating a new function to do the same thing?
Comment 6 Chad H. 2008-07-08 14:50:25 UTC
Fixed properly in r37320
