I tried to make use of the DOMActivate event, to no avail. I then performed a
case-insensitive search for "domactivate" in the M18 source code and found no
matches. I assume this means that the UIEvent interface is not yet implemented.
If it's not on anyone's radar screen, I'd like to see it get there eventually.
My hope is that it'll be useful for barring activation of data entry elements,
since (unlike the HTML focus event) the DOMActivate event is cancelable. It's
not entirely clear to me from the DOM spec what cancelling activation might
mean, so it's possible that I'm off base here, but I assume the authors saw
*some* use for these events, or they wouldn't have put 'em in the spec.
Reassigning to the DOM event system owner.
Marking NEW so someone will look at it.

Just thought I'd leave a note: I'm working on a DHTML ComboBox using standard
form elements (input type=text, select) which requires DOMActivate (or some way)
to expand the select form element. Are there alternatives to using UIEvents?
any plans to implement this?

implement DOMActivate and infrastructure for UIEvents
This patch implements DOMActivate for HTML input, button, and anchor elements,
and adds the infrastructure to support DOMFocusIn and DOMFocusOut (those events
are not dispatched currently, but that's next).
Summary of changes:
- Add UI events to lists of events where needed (this is pretty
- Implement nsDOMEvent::InitUIEvent. Refactor Init*Event implementations to
share common code.
- For anchor, input, and button elements, make the default action of a left
click be to dispatch DOMActivate. Whatever behavior is currently the default
action of left click is now the default action of DOMActivate. This required
some special handling for input elements, which I explained in the comments.
- Added nsIDOMUIListener C++ interface for receiving UI Events.
- Cleaned up some unneeded or incorrect references to nsIDOMUIEvent.
- Exposed DOMActivate, DOMFocusIn, DOMFocusOut to gtk embedding widget. and
stubs in Photon embedding widget.
The scariest changes here are the changes to
nsHTMLInputElement::HandleDOMEvent(). It passes everything in my test case and
I couldn't find anything else that breaks, but this code needs some careful
It's also worth noting that this works automatically for activation via
keyboard because we're already hacking that to dispatch a click event.
I based my understanding of how DOMActivate should work on the DOM 2 events
spec and the DOM 3 events working group note.

This is a testcase I'd written to test DOMActivate functionality. All controls
should put up an alert when activated; for controls marked as cancel, the
default action (checking the box, submitting the form, etc) should not occur.

implement DOMActivate and infrastructure for UIEvents
- In EmbedEventListener::Activate():
+ gtk_signal_emit(GTK_OBJECT(mOwner->mOwningWidget),
+ moz_embed_signals[DOM_ACTIVATE],
+ (void *)uiEvent, &return_val);
- In EmbedEventListener::FocusIn()
+ gtk_signal_emit(GTK_OBJECT(mOwner->mOwningWidget),
+ moz_embed_signals[DOM_FOCUS_IN],
+ (void *)uiEvent, &return_val);
More tabs!
- In EmbedEventListener::FocusOut():
+ gtk_signal_emit(GTK_OBJECT(mOwner->mOwningWidget),
+ moz_embed_signals[DOM_FOCUS_OUT],
+ (void *)uiEvent, &return_val);
And yet more :)
- In EmbedPrivate::AttachListeners():
+ rv = mEventReceiver->AddEventListenerByIID(eventListener,
+ NS_GET_IID(nsIDOMUIListener));
And more... same in gtkmozembed2.cpp and EmbedEventListener.h

implement DOMActivate and infrastructure for UIEvents
oops i meant to request r+sr
1) Does it fire DOMActivate for keyboard events, like Enter? I believe it should.
2) Also will it work on generic elements? For example, will it work on:
.menuitem { -moz-user-focus: normal; }

My dhtml menuitem

That should also work, right?
The patch checked in Apr 30 caused bug 242709 (its summary sounds like "duh" but
actually I think it's a problem).
...and bug 242494 and bug 242439. Hello... this checkin broke a lot of forms.
Please back out this patch until it's ready and has been tested against the
various bugs in the dependency graph.
Sorry to cause bugspam, but what's up with this checkin? It's been almost two
weeks since we found out that this caused some heavy breakage, yet it hasn't
been backed out or changed.
I already integrated the part of this patch which resides in content/event/ into
my bug 238773 work. I hope the DOM-Events-related part of this patch will remain
intact, while the breakage reported in the recent bugs would be fixed.
Comment on attachment 147199 [details] [diff] [review]
implement DOMActivate and infrastructure for UIEvents
Based on the comments in the bug, certainly not yet.
We are supporting DOMActivate now. This patch has not been backed out.
The bug appears mostly fixed in Deer Park alpha 2. Firefox 1.0.x exhibits the
old behavior with the testcase.
I say "mostly fixed" because no alert box is displayed if either of the text
inputs in the testcase is clicked. Instead, the following message appears in
the JavaScript console:
Error: [Exception... "'Permission denied to get property
XULElement.selectedIndex' when calling method:
[nsIAutoCompletePopup::selectedIndex]" nsresult: "0x8057001e
(NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "JS frame ::
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=147201 :: handleClick :: line 20"
data: no]
Source File: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=147201
Line: 20
This message does not appear when any of the other controls are activated.
Furthermore, tabbing into a text input does not cause the alert box to display,
nor does it throw an error. I would expect that tabbing into a text box would
activate it and therefore call the activate handler. (I haven't looked at the
spec for a while, though, so my expectation may be naive.)
I get
Error: [Exception... "'Permission denied to set property XULElement.selectedIndex' when calling method: [nsIAutoCompletePopup::selectedIndex]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "JS frame :: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org./attachment.cgi?id=147201 :: handleClick :: line 20" data: no]
Source File: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org./attachment.cgi?id=147201
Line: 20
when clicking either textbox too.
It is possible to get the ondomactivate alert by fousing the textbox (onclick alert only) then pressing enter (onlick alert plus ondomactivate alert).
"radio with addEventListener/cancel" doesn't preventDefault (cancel) for me, but stays selected.

Bejeweled is a tile-matching puzzle video game by PopCap Games, first developed for browsers in 2001. Three follow-ups to this game have been released. More than 75 million copies of Bejeweled have been sold, and the game has been downloaded more than 150 million times.[3] Although the game is no longer downloadable through PopCap's website, the installer can be downloaded via the Wayback Machine.
The game was initially created by PopCap Games as a web-based Flash game called Diamond Mine, inspired by the gameplay of Columns and Shariki. It was reportedly successful for PopCap—a company formed in 2000. PopCap created partnerships with established Internet gaming sites such as Microsoft Zone to host Bejeweled as well. The name Bejeweled was suggested by Microsoft, who thought the original name Diamond Mine was too similar to that of an existing game, Diamond Mines.[4]
The game has also been ported to other platforms, including Microsoft Windows, where it was called Bejeweled Deluxe, and iOS devices. Astraware produced versions for PDAs on the BlackBerry, iPhone, Palm OS, and Windows Mobile smartphone platforms. They also released Bejeweled Deluxe on the Xbox as a downloadable Xbox Live Arcade game. On September 12, 2006, it was released as one of the first games downloadable from the iTunes Store for the Apple iPod.[citation needed] PopCap also released a web app version of the game for iOS on October 11, 2007.[5] On December 13, 2011, PopCap released a HTML5 version of the game, which is available on the Google Chrome Web Store for free.[6] A HD version for iPad debuted in May 2012.[7]
In 2013, the derivative Candy Crush Saga became the most popular game on Facebook.[8][9]
In 2014 Bejeweled and Candy Crush Saga (along with many other similar match three games) were proved to be NP-hard.[10][11]
The objective of this game is to swap one gem with an adjacent gem to form a horizontal or vertical chain of three or more gems of the same color. Bonus points are given when chains of more than three identical gems are formed and when two chains are formed in one swap. Gems disappear when chains are formed and gems fall from the top to fill in gaps. Sometimes chain reactions, called cascades, are triggered, where chains are formed by the falling gems. Cascades are awarded with bonus points. There are two variations of the game to choose from.
Although normally the player gets only three in a row for gems, sometimes they can get four or five in a row. And in rare conditions, they can get six, seven, and even eight in a row. But some versions of the engine do not register it. The player gets more points and sometimes special powerups from more than three gems in a row.[12]

I even went to the midnight release of Goblet of Fire. Because of this, I figured: "these movies are so fantastical all on their own, I don't need to read the books."

So when do you want to got to Harry Potter world in Orlando? I say we need a fangirl blogger trip ;)ReplyDelete
I did the same thing about three years ago but I kept thinking that they were probably at least a tiny bit over-hyped, right? But then I read them and was like, OMG THESE ARE THE MOST AMAZING BOOKS ON THE PLANET!!! How did I live without them for so long? One of the few book series that goes above and beyond expectations.ReplyDelete
AHHH I need to start!! I fail with our plan to read them together!ReplyDelete
Yea! I'm so happy for you. Like this week's Top Ten Tuesday post, I wish I could read these again for the first time. You are making us all jealous, now.ReplyDelete
Kinda wish I could re-experience the harry potter first read again! Aren't they wonderful :) Enjoy!ReplyDelete
I'm so happy you're a Harry fan!!!! :D Reading Harry for the first time is like trying chocolate for the first time. It's amazing, you don't know how you lived without it up to this point, and you can never get enough. Haha (: Enjoy the books!!!ReplyDelete
YAY! Now I've read all of the books, but I've heard that listening to them is way more amazing. I may just have to borrow the CDs from the library to listen to. ;)ReplyDelete
Finally, Jen.ReplyDelete
I know what you mean. I just started reading the books last year. Read a book, watch the movie. Read a book, watch the movie. Unfortunately I've only read/watched the first two.ReplyDelete
I'm going to get through the whole series! Someday!
(Also #1 is my favorite of the 2 so far)
ThiS makes me SO Happy.ReplyDelete
(I'm pretty sure a smiley is sufficient for this post. :D)
I had the same experience as you. I was bound and determined NOT to read Harry Potter, but as a literature teacher, it sort of felt blasphemous NOT to read them. So a librarian friend suggested I listened to the audiobooks and OMG I'm so glad she did! Loved them!ReplyDelete
I only read them 2 years ago. I read them all in less than two weeks and they probably changed my life. I really really want to listen to them soon.ReplyDelete
I have heard samples of Jim Dale reading and I think he is fabulous. I am so excited that you love the Harry Potter books too!!! I think I might get the audio books for my kids to listen to.ReplyDelete

If your favorite way to pass a few hours involves retail therapy, you can't do better than a vacation to Beverly Hills, California. It's home to the most expensive store in the world, the reservation-only House of Bijan, which cost $12 million to build and sits on the legendary Rodeo Drive.

Whether you're hoping to stretch your dollar as far as possible or you're ready to indulge in a seriously upscale experience, this city has the hotel for you.
Most people visit Beverly Hills during the summer, which usually lasts from May through August. Tourist activity ramps up quickly and stays at peak levels thanks to the city's fame and many attractions. While you'll enjoy the street fairs, shopping, dining, and outdoor activities during the summer, your wallet will take a hit thanks to rising hotel costs.To save a few bucks, consider visiting in spring or fall instead. Both of these mild seasons produce less tourist traffic and bring down hotel costs, though spring usually brings more rain to Beverly Hills. You might catch an unwanted shower or two in autumn, as well, but you'll experience abundant sunshine and excellent weather, even if you feel like hitting the water.During the winter, temperatures average in the high 60s, which can mean less sweat and more enjoyment outdoors. It's a little chilly for most people when it comes to getting in the water, but Beverly Hills offers much more than just the beach. Additionally, winter will offer the lowest hotel prices and the fewest crowds.

Luxury doesn't come cheap in Beverly Hills, but it's definitely on a different level from most other American cities. The Viceroy L'Ermitage Beverly Hills, for instance, offers maximum upscale opulence with terrific views to boot. This high-end hotel features gorgeous, generously sized rooms that boast modern furnishings, premium bedding, beautiful wall treatments, original artwork, and large balconies. You can choose from studio and residential suites, both of which offer separate seating areas, spacious work desks, ergonomic desk chairs, USB ports, wireless internet access, and flat-screen televisions with Bose speakers. There's also a Nespresso coffee machine and a private bar in every suite.If you upgrade to the residential suite, you'll enjoy added features, such as the dual balconies, kitchenette, and dining area. Plus, the bathrooms in both suites boast marble and granite surfaces with rainfall showerheads, premium toiletries, and gorgeous vanities.There's an on-site restaurant called Avec Nous, which serves a wide variety of dishes, from burgers to sushi. You can take advantage of the hotel's spa services if you're feeling a little stressed, or use the on-site fitness center to stay in shape while you're on vacation. Finally, don't neglect the rooftop pool, which offers 360-degree views of the city and many lounge chairs for relaxing with the latest New York Times best-seller.You'll find another extremely luxurious choice in the Montage Beverly Hills. It's a five-star hotel that takes a more traditional approach to design, with Victorian, Venetian, and French influences. The venue offers 16 rooms and suites from which to choose, each of which comes with a long list of features and amenities. If you select the Superior Guestroom, for instance, you'll get 480 square feet of luxury, including a marble bathtub, complimentary champagne, free Wi-Fi, monogrammed pillows, and more. There are three on-site restaurants, including the Rooftop Grille, but you can always order room service if you're interested in private dining. The spa includes a gorgeous indoor pool and hot tub as well as a salon and spa services, from massages to mud baths. The rooftop pool and cabana offers another choice if you feel like getting wet, and there's a fitness center, so you can squeeze in a workout between outings.
3 Star Average Prices: $171.27
It's only six blocks from Rodeo Drive, but the prices at Hotel Del Flores will impress even the most frugal travelers. You're right in the middle of the action, but you don't have to pay a premium. You won't get much in the way of amenities, but you're close enough to every creature comfort this city offers that it won't matter once you settle in. Each room is individually decorated in its own unique style.You'll get a comfortable bed as well as a bureau, flat-screen television, nightstand, lamp, and private bath. Plus, you'll have a window that overlooks the city, and you'll stay in an old house that has been converted into a hotel. This charming property feels far removed from its hotel-chain brethren, so you might sleep easier at night in a hotel that feels like home.You'll also find excellent rates at the Beverly Hills Suites at 8755 W Olympic Blvd. It's a condo-style building that offers modern furnishings and free wireless internet access. There's a guest laundry facility on-site and plenty of parking. In your room, you'll find a flat-screen television with cable service, a DVD player, toiletries, and a private bath. The luxurious bedding will help you forget that you're staying in budget accommodations, and there's a small sitting area next to the window where you can enjoy your morning coffee.Even better, you'll get a balcony in the bargain. Stand or sit outside for a breath of fresh air when you don't feel like leaving your room. You'll see plenty of street traffic from this vantage point, and you can relax with a book or a glass of wine in the evenings. Additionally, this choice puts you within 2 miles of the La Brea Tar Pits and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
2 Star Average Prices: $150.22
If you're shopping for a discount, the Beverly Hills area doesn't offer too many options, though you can find the occasional deal. For instance, The Mosaic Hotel Beverly Hills gives guests up to 10 percent off their hotel bills if they're AAA members. Just flash your membership card when you check in to take advantage of the discount.Many hotels will shave a few dollars off your bill if you book your rooms well in advance. In addition to getting you a better rate, advance planning will also allow you time to firm up your itinerary so that you know exactly what you want to do and where you want to go once you arrive.
It's considered a luxury hotel, but SIXTY Beverly Hills Hotel offers great value for its nightly rates. The rooms average around 250 square feet each, and you can choose from king and queen bed configurations. Modern bedding, decor, and furnishings will help you feel right at home, and each comes with a French-style balcony. Other in-room amenities include ebonized hardwood floors, marble baths, stunning views, 55-inch flat-screen televisions, iPod docking stations, and more.Outside your room or suite, you can pamper yourself at the pool and spa. The large pool features several padded lounge chairs where you can relax with a drink under an umbrella. You can also take advantage of the cabanas. Indoors, you'll find a generous fitness room equipped with treadmills, elliptical machines, and more, so you don't have to miss your workout. Additionally, the on-site Caulfield's Bar & Dining Room serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
As mentioned above, the House of Bijan is the most expensive store in the city — and the world — but you'll need a hefty limit on your American Express card to get a seat at the metaphorical table. Still, you can have fun on Rodeo Drive with upscale stores like Gucci, Armani, Tiffany, Chanel, and more. These high-end establishments will put a dent in your bank account, but if you love designer clothing and jewelry, you won't want to miss this part of town.For the more budget-conscious shopper, Anat B on S. Beverly Drive might offer more reasonable options. It's a hip clothing store that sells fashionable duds for affordable prices. This street offers several other budget-friendly shops, including chains like Anthropologie and Neiman Marcus. As you can see, you don't have to have deep pockets to have a great time in Beverly Hills. Of course, if you want to live large, you can stay at the swankiest hotels and take your shot at a reservation at the House of Bijan. Either way, it's time to start planning your next trip to The Golden State's Beverly Hills.
