Hi guys,
I'm gonna implement the support to the "validationMessage" HTML5 DOM
attribute of form control elements, it shall return a string that
describes which validation state the element is in.
AFAIK this should be a localized string to be presented to the user: I
tought to write a simple: enum ValidationMessage {STD_MSG1, STD_MSG2,
etc...} in HTMLFormControlElement to have a simple representation of
the standard messages and then leave the localization to the embedder.
In order to accomplish this in
HTMLFormControlElement::validationMessage() I should return the
localized string obtained from the embedder and this is the trouble I
went into: how such a thing is usually done in WebKit?
I'd appreciate any help you may provide. Thank you.
