[webkit-help] Help understanding how WebCore/bindings/js files get generated

[Nilesh Patil]

Hi

DOM event - Do you mean event something like '*onmouseover' *?
If Yes then - I think you can do following.
You will need to add a corresponding event listener in idl file. (
Element.idl, Document.idl)
You will probably need to modify HTMLAttributenames.in
Since its a completely new attribute/event, you will have to make parser
understand that there is something like 'yourevent' existing. You will need
to modify corresponding element source's
attribute parsing logic. If most of the elements need to support this you
can as well do it in HTMLElement::parseMappedAttribute().
Here you can create a corresponding eventlistener.

I suggest you dont modify anything under DerivedSources as most of source
documents are automatically generated by refering .idl files.

Hope this helps !!

Thanks & Regards
Nilesh
