URL handling

[jamienk]

Hi again,

If a user types a url and it linkifies it, but then the user text-edits the written url, then the link becomes wrong:

User types:

http://yahoo.com

becomes

<a href='http://yahoo.com'>http://yahoo.com</a>

User then edits it to be

<a href='http://yahoo.com'>http://google.com</a>

My users are not technical and I've found that the LINK dialog is too complex for them. My idea is to make typed urls become surrounded by a <span class='url'>

Then I can handle this, so that, for example, we can have a simpler google-style link changer, or make double-click go to the url or something.

For example I have this code which makes double-click open a link:

    myckeditor=CKEDITOR.inline( editorinst,
    {
        on:
        {
            doubleclick: function(ev)
            {   

                if(this.elementPath().contains( 'a' ))
                {
                    sel = this.getSelection();
                    sel.selectElement(sel.getStartElement());
                    selagain = this.getSelection();
                    var selection = selagain.getNative();
                    if(isURL(selection))
                    {
                        window.open(selection, '_blank');
                    }
                }

        }
    }

Anyway, would be nice to have options: linktag and linkattr to default to current

var attributes = {'data-cke-saved-href': href, href: href};
var style = new CKEDITOR.style({ element: 'a', attributes: attributes } );

but that I could use to make it a span class=url

Make sense?

I think it's too specific features.
I think updating href attribute would be enough

Refreshing is only triggered by space or delimiter typed after link, so the issue isn't really fixed.
Updating should be synchronous.
