= TODO List for QtWebKit =

This is a TODO list of high-level items. In addition we are maintainling a release backlog in Bugzilla for upcoming releases:

  * https://bugs.webkit.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=Qt46

== Incoming == 
uncategorized issues that the developers still need to prioritize. 
 * QWebFrame should have a function to access the QWebHistory for that frame.
 * There should be an QWebIconDatabase class that gives you notifications when the icon has been loaded.
 * Autotest Coverage
 * ~~ header such as "webkitversion.h" that contains the version in a define ~~ DONE
 * Way to access list of files and progress on downloading them (i.e. be able to make an activity window)
 * Ability to pass the handling of listbox/select elements to the application
 * Instead of loading a plugin for loading and doing playback of media files, we should use a full-window html5 media player based on our Phonon code.
 * "Kinetic" support
   * Native scroll indicator instead of scrollbars. This should work for all frames and not just the mainframe.
   * Zoom to paragraph/image/etc example
   * Intelligent touch scroll, that takes the contents into account. Would be nice to be able to move widgets on igoogle around, still be able to scroll on google maps etc.
   * Add an API for controlling forms, like not showing a popdown for comboboxes, but letting the application handle it.

== Things we want to do ==

 * Research out-of-process plugins
 * Research QtSvg vs. WebKit SVG
 * Make WebKit more modular
 * XSLT support with QtXmlPatterns. WIP (passes 30% of the tests)
 * Layout tests in 4.5, then trunk
 * Write examples, docs and screencasts
 * Finish DOM API
 * QtScript Integration
 * ~~ QtScript on top of JSC DONE ~~
 * QtScript on top of JSC C-API 

== Things we should do ==

 * Task maintenance (All)
 * Improve Media-Element support
 * Make the build more configurable in Qt
 * Research memory usage
 * Research performance
 * Extend APIs
 * Style-dependent scrolling (improvement to r41285)
 * A17n support
 * Check for new feature defines (i.e. ENABLED(3D_RENDERING))

== Dogfood Items ==

 * Wallet integration
 * Arora extensions
 * Webclips
 * Inline editing example

== Examples and Demos to be written ==

 * how to use <object> in a web page
 * HTML5 local/session storage
 * ~~using it with jQuery~~ (Ariya) DONE: see http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2009/04/17/jquery-and-qwebelement/
 * Flash inside QWebView (like Girish's video feed example but simpler)
 * restricting web view to a certain set of URLs
 * convert HTML to PDF, continue from Kavindra's work
 * using QWebView with Graphics View
 * a utility monitor web sites, sit on the systray, display the thumbnail
 * simple example (without model/view) on how to use history and bookmarks
 * ~~google suggest~~ (Ariya) DONE: see http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2009/03/20/google-suggest-made-easy/
 * ~~visual scraping~~ (Ariya) DONE: see http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2009/06/02/weather-applet-again/
 * how to extend QWebView to handle e.g. FTP
 * cookie handling
 * XML Query for feed parser/reader

== Documentation improvements ==

 * Overview diagram between all QWebFoo class
 * Diagram/description of the relation between QtWebKit and QtNetwork
 * Using HTML files and images from the resource system
 * Import CSV example from QQ to Qt tree

== Deferred DOM API Items ==

 * Research setInner/OuterXml on default constructed QWebElements.
 * Add support for DOM events/listeners
   * Add QWebElement::connectEvent()
   * Add support for mapping JS events to Qt events (QMouseEvent, etc.)
   * Add support for pure JS events (QWebEvent?)
   * Add support for dispatching events from C++
 * Add support for convenience functions on the selection/collection
 * Investigate support for different backends (xml and/or query language).
 * Need to add a documented method of retrieving the current selection as a QWebElementSelection, since the  ::selection psuedo-element didn't make it into the current draft of css3-selectors.

=== Ideas for Examples & Demos ===

 * A tool to create selections visually, built on top of the same API. Include a lineedit where you can type a selector and it visualizes the selected elements. (both ways)
 * Simple jquery-ui like effects.
 * Ad-block for Arora
 * Form completion (smart or not...)
 * Implement Arora's clicktoflash plugin with QWebElement
