Call for testing: SVG events

We've recently landed the patch for bug 302103 to implement SVG events on the trunk. Before we can land this patch on the Firefox 1.5 branch we need to test that everything works as expected. If you have time, please download a current Firefox nightly build and help us test. Things to test include the onload, onzoom, and onscroll attributes (and add/removeEventListener for SVGLoad, SVGZoom, and SVGScroll); that changes to currentScale and currentTranslate fire the correct events, and that these events contain the correct information; that no regressions have occured in the rest of the event code; that there are no issues concerning security stuff like event synthesis, crossing window boundaries, etc.

We have two testcases you can run, but others would be welcome:

• http://jwatt.org/svg/tests/svg-events.svg
• http://jwatt.org/svg/tests/zoom-and-pan-controls.svg

Be careful when testing the second testcase not to triple-click or you'll crash due to unrelated bug 306049.

Ideally please comment in bug 302103 with your success/failure results. If you don't have a bugzilla account then add a comment to this blog entry.

Call for testing: textPath

We landed support for <textPath> on the trunk last night, and would like help testing it to make sure that it's stable enough to be included in the branch (and thus Firefox 1.5). If you could grab a trunk Firefox nightly to test <textPath> and check for possible regressions in <text>/<tspan> it would be greatly apprecidated.

Please comment in bug 282579 about your sucesses/failures or if you don't have a bugzilla account add a comment to this blog entry. Thanks.
