           Summary: need an interface to make a custom call when a
                    textfield's content changes
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://tools.arantius.com/stopwatch
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Platform
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: scroggo at google.com

On the Android platform, we use our own renderer on top of a RenderTextControl
to serve as an interface between our text input and WebKit.  When WebKit
changes the text (for example on http://tools.arantius.com/stopwatch), we need
to know to change our widget.  I assumed that EditorClient would be a good
place to do this, and I see an interface there for textDidChangeInTextField and
textDidChangeInTextArea.  Those sound like what I want, but they only seem to
be called as a result of a webkitEditableContentChanged event, which I do not
see happening.  RenderTextControl::updateFromElement sounds like a good place
to put this, and this function calls Editor->clearUndoRedoOperations (which in
turn calls its client's function of the same name).  Putting my code here
works, but it does not sound like it's the right place.  Have I overlooked
something, or do I need to submit a patch to provide this functionality?
