Hi Max,

There are a couple of issues with the changes.


- Destroying the rte object often generates an error in callJavascript because the object has already been deleted. I created LPP-9327 and assigned it to me since I ran into this issue in the past.

- There is a need for a rte.getText() method to query for the text. There are cases where the dijit.Editor contents and the rte component will have different values. For example, if you click on a plugin button that modifies the text, no event is generated to tell the component about the new value. This is why I call getText() when I want to change the existing value of the component.

I can see where the asynchronous nature of calling getText() can be a problem. One workaround is to listen for mouse events or add a timer to look for changes in the text. Or maybe I can add a delegate to getText(). I created LPP-9328 and assigned it to me.

- There is a small leak in your code (in swf) lz.embed.iframemanager.__callbacks is an array that grows with every callJavascript() call that uses a callback. The existing rte component does not make much use of the callback (unless you create a lot of buttons) so this is not a big issue right away.



Otherwise approved! (I don't think anyone will run into these issues before they are resolved).

Summary: Add pmrpc cross-domain support for calling JS in loaded iframes/html

Bugs Fixed: LPP-9324 - Add pmrpc to the html component

Technical Reviewer: promanik
QA Reviewer: hminsky

Details: This change makes it possible to call javascript inside and send events from within iframes loaded from different domains. The technology to do this (pmrpc) is completely callback based, which forced some changes with the way callbacks work. html.callJavascript() now requires a callback argument if you need the return value for a given call.

credits - Add license from pmrpc.js

html - Include JSON library to serialize callJavascript retrun values. Modify SWF __iframecallback() and callJavascript() to store callbacks locally now that return values come back asynchonously.

rte.lzx - Use callbacks where callJavascript() return values are required. Reorient towards updating the rte.text attribute whenever text changes. Rework destroy() to finish only after rte.text is updated one last time.

pmrpc - Include library

build - Add dependencies, build target for pmrpc

rtemanager - Rename destroy() -> __destroy(). addButton() expects a second buttonid arg, which is echoed back. This allows the asynchronous return value to associate the button ID with the correct callback in rte.lzx.

iframemanager-library - Include pmrpc.js.

iframemanager - Shorten lookups, remove unneeded getIDFromWindow() call, owner -> __owner. Rework asyncCallback() to pass through the callback ID when needed, see html.lzx __iframecallback() in swf. callJavascript() now uses pmrpc to call into the iframe. Leave older direct iframe calling code intact. Register as a pmrpc server for asyncCallback().

iframestub - Include pmrpc, register as a client for callJavascript() calls and use iframemanager.asyncCallback(). Replace parent.lz.embed.iframemanager.getIDFromWindow with window.name.

examples/extensions/html - Add test showing JS script injection failing.

examples/extensions/html-test - Include iframestub to ensure callJavascript() calls work properly.

examples/extensions/rte - Use this.text instead of getText().

Tests: examples/extensions/html.lzx and examples/extensions/rte.lzx run as before.
