Subject: Re: [cgmo-webcgm] why not use 'data' on <object>?
Hi Lofton,
This requires a very small DOM implementation to display the HTML:
- getWebCGMDocument().src -
I suspect that non-DOM implementers opened the .cgm file and
said 'yes we pass' if it looked like the reference image.
Of course you could use the 'data' attribute for this test. The
reason 'data' is not there is because everyone copy/pasted my initial
examples. The reason the interactive tests do not use the 'data'
attribute is to be able to catch the 'onload' event (i.e., if you use
'data', by the time you get the 'onload', the CGM is already
displayed).
