Description fantasai 2008-09-08 18:01:19 UTC
The harness should use the flags field to look up messages (in a separate flag-message mapping table) and display them in the notes field.

(First action's on me to write a sample map.)
Comment 1 David Berfanger 2008-09-16 18:55:28 UTC
This is currently the case.

The current flag-message mapping table is as follows:

      flag            description  
      ---------   ------------------------
      ahem        Requires the Ahem font 
      dom         Requires support for JavaScript and the Document Object Model (DOM) 
      font        Requires a specific font to be installed. (Details must be provided and/or the font linked to in the test description) 
      history     User agent session history is required. Testing :visited is a good example where this may be used. 
      HTML        only Test case is only valid for HTML 
      image       Requires support for bitmap graphics and the graphic to load 
      interact    Requires human interaction (such as for testing scrolling behavior) 
      invalid     Tests handling of invalid CSS. Note: This case contains CSS properties and syntax that my not validate. 
      namespace   Requires support for XML Namespaces 
      nonHTML     Test case is only valid for formats besides HTML (e.g. XHATML or arbitrary XML) 
      may         Behavior tested is preferred but OPTIONAL. [RFC2119] (These tests must be reviewed by a test suite owner or peer.)
      paged       Only valid for paged media 
      should      Behavior tested is RECOMMENDED, but not REQUIRED. [RFC2119]
      scroll      Only valid for continuous (scrolling) media 
      svg         Requires support for vector graphics (SVG) 
      96dpi       Assumes 96dpi display

Please revise as desired.

Unless I have misunderstood this bug or unless there are any edits to the mapping table, this should be marked resolved.

I'll wait until the next code check in.

Probably Monday or Tuesday.
