Bug 120412

Version:           3.5 (using KDE 3.5.0, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.0-0ubuntu0breezy1 breezy)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.12-10-386

Okay to explain this bug, at least I think that its a bug, I need to explain why I want this to functionality.

I am trying to make a javascript inputmask on a inputbox, so if the user presses say "a" I want to convert this into a uppercase "A". I include a test htmlfile.

First I check the charCode of the event that is triggered by the user when he/she presses the key.
If it is not a Uppercase char then I stop the Event and creates a new one with a uppercase char.

In mozilla I can create a keyEvent with the apropriate keyCode, khtml has TextEvents and that should work as well.

And does work through the DOM tree, at least as far as I can tell after watching kdevelop and gdb attached to testkhtml.

But I cant se any place were the event actually gets dispatched into the rendered widget ie. KLineEdit or KTextEdit.

I did make a awfull hack to implement this into html_formimpl.cpp, only with the intention to make you see what I am trying to do. You propably know how to get this sort of thing into the lib a lot better than my stumbling steps in C++.

Maybe its there somewere and it's just broken, or I have missunderstood what it intends to do.


In any case I would like thank you for this great lib!
