	Description • 24 years ago

see #68074 for background.

I've found 5 files (in the *.xul under mozilla/mailnews, we should check ns) for
xul where we used templates and have event handlers on generated content.

mailWindowOverlay.xul
    oncommand="MsgMoveMessage(event.target)"
    oncommand="MsgCopyMessage(event.target)"
    oncommand="MsgGetMessagesForAccount(event)"

msgFolderPickerOverlay.xul
    oncommand="PickedMsgFolder(event.target,'msgNewFolderPicker')"
    etc.  (there are a whole crap load like that)

FilterListDialog.xul
    onclick="onToggleEnabled(event);"

pref-composing_messages.xul
    oncreate="dump('CREATE MENU NOW\n');"

messengercompose.xul
    oncommand="MessageFcc(event.target)"

I'm most interested in messengecompose.xul and mailwindowOverlay.xul, since they
are going to be hit on startup of message compose and the 3 pane.

racham / ducarroz, I'll probably need your help fix this.

when prioritizing this among your other bugs, you should see just how much of a
win it would be.

one way to estimate this is to take out event handlers and see if you get any
performance increase.

Moving the event handlers should be a straightforward exercise.
Should they go on the outermost menupopup or on the menupopup parent?

Both cases work.
But I guess there would be a better test to use !?

If you mean moving the test inside the function,
this, I can do, but I'm not sure I like it.
Yet, if you feel that it's a good solution, fine with me.

> 2. Add another attribute, e.g. fcc="rdf:*", and use that instead

That's more what I would like ... if it's no bad wrt perf/footprint.
(I read doc. and tried a little, but didn't succeed.)
But, for this, I would need a full example (with this file), which I could use for the other files as needed: helpwanted !

I'm sure you can work it out from these hints:

 <menupopup>
-  <menuitem label="&fileHereMenu.label;"
-            oncommand="MessageFcc(event.target.parentNode.parentNode)"/>
+  <menuitem label="&fileHereMenu.label;" resource="rdf:*"/>
   <menuseparator/>

 <menuitem uri="..." class="folderMenuItem menuitem-iconic" la
bel="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#Name"
-          oncommand="MessageFcc(event.target)"
+          resource="rdf:*"
           SpecialFolder="rdf:http://home.netscape.com/NC-rdf#SpecialFolder"

Plus: add MessageFcc(event.target) on the root menuitem; change MessageFcc to use getAttribute("resource"); instead of id. Note: I arbitrarily chose "resource" as the attribute name, feel free to use a different name.

Neil,
I started to test |<menulist id="serverMenu" ...|:
Selecting:
*Local/Pop3 account: triggers line 110 (uri); fine.
*A newsgroup: triggers line 83 (uri); fine.
*Nntp account, with no children: triggers nothing; is it fine ?
*Nntp account, "this news server": triggers line 91 (uri) then line 83 (blank); odd !

See "1.67	scott%scott-macgregor.org	2004-04-18 22:15	 	fix for bug #19403".

Are the behaviors of the 2 last ones correct ?
If not, how to fix them ?

First, I should say that I think this needs to be replaced by a tree-like widget such as the one used in the advanced search dialog (note that I don't expect you to do that).

The last behaviour isn't exactly correct, it appears to be an attempt to reduce the number of event handlers - notice that there are no event handlers in the <rule nc:ServerType="nntp"> section.

The third behaviour isn't exactly correct either, but it depends on what you expect for a news server without any subscribed groups.

Killing 2 birds with one stone:
*Fixes current bug.
*"Fixes" behavior on (both) NNTP _server_ items,
 by "backing out" most of what bug 19403 did to these files.

Example of previously bad behavior:
Having a NNTP server without groups,
opening the filter dialog from it would load its filters,
while selecting it in the dialog list would not.

It seems that change will be done in bug 413781 or a followup.
Yet, I think it's better to fix the current bug on its own (first).

I'm not familiar with bug 19403 new feature, but I believe the current code(s) is broken.

That's 7 times the "same" template, which has 6 rules:
*1 & 2 items are disabled, then don't care.
*3 & 6 are updated :-)
*4 is empty, then don't care.
*5 seems good as it is, but I'm not sure what its "test case" is.

Can you confirm that I understood it well enough ?

Then, 2 |oncommand="MsgGetMessagesForAccount(event)"| remain.
They are mixed with other |command="..."| and |oncommand="..."|.

Can you give me some "hints" on how to "merge" them,
or I'll leave it to someone else...

Rule 5 seems to be for accounts (I don't understand why rule 1 doesn't have the same content as rule 5).

PS:
While testing this patch, I noticed that in the Thread and Message panes (at least ! Not in Menu and Toolbar ?),
I could get the two recent (IMAP) folders I was testing with to:
sometimes show up as 'folder - account' (as "always" in the Menu and Toolbar),
sometimes show up as 'folder' only.
For now, I assume this is an "issue / inconsistency" in the "datasource" and unrelated to this front-end patch(es).
