'join' regExps

[onip]

hi, i'm developing a plugin for an university project to make wymeditor support (some) microformats.
For this to work i need the xhtml validator to allow more expressions than strict xhtml (for example rel="nofollow" or rev="vote-for" in 'a' tags).
To do so during plugin initialization function i substitute

Code: Select all

WYMeditor.XhtmlValidator._tags['a']['attributes']['rev']
WYMeditor.XhtmlValidator._tags['a']['attributes']['rel']


with my own regexpr (ie. yours with some words added in the end).
Is there a smarter way to do this job? One that doesn't need me to manually adjust regexpr each time you change those?

EDIT: i'm working with svn version (currently r530)

Hi, you can also extend the allowed attributes, by using jQuery.extend. See example 11, custom parser:

Code: Select all

jQuery.extend(WYMeditor.XhtmlValidator._tags['a']['attributes'], {'runat':/^(server)$/});

BTW, your project is very interesting. FYI, I'm also thinking about working on RDFa support.

$.extend adds new properties to target object or overwrites corresponding ones, am i wrong?
This is what i am already doing 'by hand'.

It should be near the end (not really complete, but enough for a school project), when finished I'll put it somewhere and ask for suggestions and comments.

OK.

Great, thanks.
