Subject: ISSUE: addHighlight and clearHighlight

All,
when working on the
implementation of the addHighlight and clearHighlight behaviors, we ran into one
restriction that is not yet mentioned in the
spec.
Both behaviors make
sense only, if they are sent to an existing viewer control, e.g. by using a DOM
call.
They do not make sense
if used in a link that creates a viewer control, for
example
<html>
....
<p> some text
<a href="mycgm.cgm#id(myID,addHighlight)" target = "someFrame">link text
</a> </p>
</html>
Any such link will be
processed by the HTML browser, and it will first delete whatever it finds in
"someFrame", and then it will call the MIME type handler for this type of
content. So even if there was an existing CGM viewer in "someFrame", it will get
deleted before this link gets executed.
The wording of the
spec needs to be changed to reflect
this.
Best
regards,
Dieter
