TYPO3 Core

More info on the linker process in rtehtmlarea (surely to be confirmed) :

1- click on a link in the browser element (files element)
 2- call to link_folder function
 3- call to editor.renderPopup_addLink function (see rtehtmlarea/htmlarea/plugins/TYPO3Browsers/typo3browsers.js)

At this stage of the process, urls are quite good. The letter case is taken into account :

[CODE]

HTMLArea.prototype.renderPopup_addLink = function(theLink,cur_target,cur_class,cur_title) {

// DEBUG
alert (theLink);
// DEBUG
var a, sel = null, range = null, node = null, imageNode = null;
this.focusEditor();
node = this.getParentElement();
var el = HTMLArea.getElementObject(node,"a");
if (el != null && el.tagName && el.tagName.toLowerCase() == "a") node = el;
if (node != null && node.tagName && node.tagName.toLowerCase() == "a") this.selectNode(node);
// Clean images from existing anchors otherwise Mozilla may create nested anchors
if (this.classesAnchorSetup) {
sel = this._getSelection();
range = this._createRange(sel);
this.cleanAllLinks(node, range, true);
}

this._doc.execCommand("CreateLink", false, theLink);

sel = this._getSelection();
        range = this._createRange(sel);
        node = this.getParentElement();
        var el = HTMLArea.getElementObject(node,"a");

//DEBUG
alert (el);
//DEBUG

if (el != null && el.tagName && el.tagName.toLowerCase() == "a") node = el;
        if (node) {
                if (this.classesAnchorSetup && cur_class) {
                        for (var i = this.classesAnchorSetup.length; --i >= 0;) {
                                var anchorClass = this.classesAnchorSetup[i];
                                if(anchorClass['name'] == cur_class && anchorClass["image"]) {
                                        imageNode = this._doc.createElement("img");
                                        imageNode.src = anchorClass["image"];
                                        imageNode.alt = anchorClass["altText"];
                                        break;
                                }
                        }
                }
                        // We may have created multiple links in as many blocks
                this.setLinkAttributes(node, range, cur_target, cur_class, cur_title, imageNode);

}

Dialog._modal.close();
        this.updateToolbar();
};

[/CODE]

The first alert, output the good URL, the second do not : instead, in our special case mentionned above, it returns the string in lowercase (the old)

The only function that I could not trace it this :
this._doc.execCommand("CreateLink", false, theLink);

It seems to not to be called (ie an "alert" in HTMLArea::_createLink () function don't output anything). I didn't understood that.

Any hint ?

Thx

I could reproduce the issue with TYPO3 4.2.1 and FF3.0 as well as FF2.0.0.16. Looks like a browser bug. Will need to work around somehow...

execCommand is a method of the document object.

The attached patch fixes the issue.

Fixed in SVN TYPO3core branches TYPO3_4-2 (revision 3959) and
trunk (revision 3962).

The committed patch had an unwanted side effect. FF would sometimes add a span element inside the new link.

Follow-up patch committed to SVN TYPO3core branch TYPO3_4-2 (revision 4076) and trunk (revision 4077).
