Hi, I'm trying to express in WebIDL an interface with a string attribute "uri", and a string-string dictionary "options" that has no restrictions on the keys. In JS this would be something like this as a literal: { uri: "", options: {} } Now I came up with the following WebIDL: /* arbitrary key-value hints */ dictionary Options {}; [Constructor] interface Item { attribute DOMString uri; attribute Options options; }; Which seems reasonable to me but the specification says "Dictionaries must not be used as the type of an attribute, constant or exception field". Maybe I'm misreading the spec but doesn't this make my IDL invalid? Is there a better way of expressing what I want? Related: is there a good tutorial/annotated reference/set of examples for WebIDL? The spec is quite... concise and isn't that great for learning from. :) Thanks, Ross
