Hi, the following link has been posted on /. today. It contains very interesting information about browsers usability. Interestingly enough, one of the proposals to improve user experience was proposed by Jorge last year (temporal history). http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~andy/web_navigation.html Worthy readings. Best, EG --------- In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Hi! I took a look at the bug entries, and comment some of them. If not otherwise stated, I'm using the current CVS version of dillo. > [area.gif] 209 > Impact: soft error > At: run time > Type: misbehaviour > Comments: ALT image tag balloons sometimes stay present when the > balloon's window becomes inactive by consecutively opening several > new dillo windows with middle mouse button.

The urls you open should > have many alt tags, too. Repeat this procedure until you get the > effect. > WorkedBy: nobody Can this still be reproduced? Since this entry was made, there have been some changes related to tooltips (Dw crossing events, to be precise). It may be that this bug has been fixed in the meanwhile. If not, please report so. > [area.gif] 275 > Impact: hard error > At: run time > Type: lock > Comments: Dillo locks, with high CPU usage, at > http://www.adequacy.org/?op=displaystory;sid=2001/12/2/42056/2147 > HTReproduce: Go to > http://www.adequacy.org/?op=displaystory;sid=2001/12/2/42056/2147. > Watch the CPU-meter spike and Dillo stop responding. > WorkedBy: nobody This side has changed its contents, but it may be that performance problems with large tables caused this bug. It became better some time ago, but may be enhanced furthermore, however, with the costs of more complexity (with another column width calculation, "incremential resizing" may also be applied to DwTable). So I won't do much on this, unless there are severe performance/locking problems. > [area.gif] 355 > Impact: soft error > At: run time > Type: render bug > Comments: When rendering tables (in column oriented pages), right > column starts on the right and below left column. > HTReproduce: Visit http://www.howstuffworks.com/air-force-one.htm > WorkedBy: nobody This page is written by someone assuming that <TABLE ALIGN=LEFT> makes the table floating, instead to be aligned left (HTML 4.01 spec, section 11.2.1). Anyway, this is a common behavior of browsers, but since there is currently no code for handling floats, this is not relevant yet. > [area.gif] 374 > Impact: soft error > At: run time > Type: render bug > Comments: weird rendering with lots of overlapping text.

The only thing I've noticed is that some colors are different than in mozilla, I assume that this is due to mixing HTML attributes and CSS. Happy New Year! Sebastian

./configure & make errors

Hi there, Since 4 or 5 days ago, I have not been able to compile Dillo (cvs). It yells that I am missing `Autoconf' and `GNU m4' however I do have these both (Mandrake 9.0).Then it finally bombs out during "make" with: ./configure: line 549: syntax error near unexpected token `src/dillo.c' ./configure: line 549:`AC_CONFIG_SRCDIR(src/dillo.c)' Any idea what the problem could be here, and how I can fix this?

Has there been any further development on this? I think we are now at the point mentioned, in that the main distros seem to be including GTK2 support for GNOME 2. Thanks p.

Welcome & some news
by Jorge Arellano Cid Dec. 29, 2002

Dec. 29, 2002

Hi there! After a few days watching the subscribers list grow, I think is a good time to welcome all of you to this our new home at the wearLab. We believe this new facilities will bring more pace to our internet related needs, and serve as an excellent base to keep developing dillo. The work had been hectic in the past weeks: moving the site, setting the new facilities, testing, debugging, reviewing, fixing and integrating patches an so on... In this recent past, my personal email has been flooded with dillo-related issues, so once more it's true that when the list is silent a lot of work goes behind the scenes! The plan is to integrate a few more patches I still have in the queue, before digging into dpi to make it work with unix domain sockets, and to enable automatic plugin launching. After that, a bit of testing and the next release will hopefully happen by late January. -- Santa passed near us and left a present! Look at: http://www.linuxfund.org/ This is the first grant Dillo Project receives. It's good news by all means. Thanks to all that took some time to vote! Note that this money doesn't fund the project, it will just let me continue trying with the funding initiative. This is the first priority. -- Considering that 0.7.0 wil be out soon, it'd be good to renew the screenshots page. I took some snaps (to be commited soon). The point is to have small thumbs with high definition big picture links. That way, the visitor can get a closer feel of our clean fonts and rendering. The idea is to show some well looking sites, some classic ones and the "average", to give quick and accurate insight. If you have a good site suggestion, just send the URL to the list so everyone can see! -- Best regards and happy celebrations! Jorge.-

Feature request
by Peter McConnell Dec. 27, 2002

Dec. 27, 2002

I have been using dillo fo almost 6 months for the majority of my browsing and it renders pager...really fast some sites I thought were slow, actually load immediately. The only feature that I can see that would improve dillo would be tabbed browesing, I believe this would also be a benefit on pda's. Is tabbed browsing a feature we are likely to see with dillo? regards peter -- Peter McConnell <slackpat(a)users.sourceforge.net>
