We don't run js code in designMode. :( Boris, do you remember what's stopping us from doing this? (What I remember is fear of the unknown!)
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
So we do run JS in the iframe when using <iframe contenteditable="true">?
(In reply to comment #4) > So we do run JS in the iframe when using <iframe contenteditable="true">? If you mean contenteditable=true on the <body> element in an iframe, then yes.
No, I actually meant the other; I thought there was a way to flag on an <iframe> that the document inside should be editable. So I assume that what's happening here is that editor suppresses scripts on documents when it's editing the whole document, right? That makes sense for something like composer. For designMode... I don't know. It's really weird to have scripts that you're editing running....

The only way to do that is to get your hands on the contentDocument of the iframe somehow. > So I assume that what's happening here is that editor suppresses scripts on > documents when it's editing the whole document, right?

And that's supposed to be equivalent to setting document.designMode to "on". I agree that it might be a good idea to disable script execution in a document for other reasons, but I don't think that there is anything specific to designMode documents which mandates them to be treated differently in this regard. Do you think this is something worth bringing up in a wider audience forum, such as dev.platform (or maybe even the whatwg list)?
> There is no need for this behavior to be the same on the web and for Composer. Indeed. > Do you think this is something worth bringing up in a wider audience forum I think so, yes. What do other browsers do?
Safari and IE do not seem to run JS in designMode, and Chrome, Opera and WebKit (standalone) do.
Sounds like WebKit used to do what we do now and then changed to the Opera behavior at some point.... Given the IE behavior, I'd bring this up on public-html or whatever w3c list handles this API.
