Package: libwebkit-1.0-2
Version: 1.1.10-2
Severity: normal
File: libwebkit
The CSS properties returned by the style member of a DOM object is localized.
If e.g. you have set a height of '1.2em' for an object, comparing the object's
height against '1.2em' will fail on some locales (seen in fr_FR) as the
property returns '1,2em' (with a comma), the localized version of '1.2em'.
In english locales there's of course no problem, but the behaviour is different
depending on the locale.
I have seen this in both Epiphany-webkit and Midori.
How to reproduce?
1) Write a small JavaScript function, like this for example:
// reduce/increase height of an element
// -> el is an DOM node
function toggle_folding(el) {
var folded_height = '1.2em';
if (el.style.height == folded_height) {
el.style.height = '';
} else {
el.style.height = folded_height;
}
}
2) Use it somewhere, like that:
<html>
<head>
<title>WebKit JS test</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function toggle_folding(el) {
var folded_height = '1.2em';
if (el.style.height == folded_height) {
el.style.height = '';
} else {
el.style.height = folded_height;
}
}
</script>
<style type="text/css">
/* just to ensure the visibility of the folding effect */
.foldable { overflow: hidden }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p class="foldable" onclick="toggle_folding(this);">
Click me!<br/>
some<br/>text<br/>that<br/>shall<br/>be<br/>folded.
</p>
</body>
</html>
The text should be shown/hidden when clicking on it.
3) See that it works properly with Gecko or with WebKit using with an English
locale, but fail with WebKit useing a French locale: the text is hidden but,
never shown again.
To see why, simply show the value of el.style.height, wich is '1,2em'
instead of the expected '1.2em'.
