I have already tested several things, with menu position already working quite well, although it is not yet perfect. BTW, "gtkoptionmenu.c" is worth to look at, it solves quite a similar problem.

If not specified, the language-dependant character for the decimal point must be used. This is nothing covered by the encoding, since two languages using the same encoding may differ in this.

Perhaps a temporary setlocale() may work. (Currently , neither localeconv, nor nl_langinfo works at all, perhaps I miss some files.) Anyway thanks for the answer. Sebastian

Eric, > 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). Interesting reading! BTW, the implementation is half done in dillo. We only need to figure out how to make gtk display it as we want! That is, a popup menu that can scroll and that highlights (with other color) the current page in the histoy. That is: .-------------. | page n | | page n+1 | | page n+1 | <- Mouse-highlighted option | page n+2 | ... | page n+k | <- Highlighted with a different color | page n+k+1 | (as it marks the position of current page in | page n+k+2 | the linear history) | page n+k+3 | '-------------' The tricky part is that making these popups scroll is done in dillo with some hackish bindings. And we also need to make the popup display the current position in the middle of the menu when it pops. It'd be very good if someone solves this problem! > > http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~andy/web_navigation.html > > Worthy readings. After reading it, I thought of a nice way to improve it even more! All we need is to convince GTK+ to perform in the above described way. Cheers Jorge.- PS: Sometime ago someone suggested binding the escape key to close dillo's dialogs. I didn't thought it was much an improvement, but time changed my mind, and made a patch! :)

Happy new year!

Hi there! Is good to see you here in our new home. Things seem to be going better for dillo this year (yes, a couple of days can bear a lot of things!). The project is resuming its pace and hopefully will improve. Receive my best wishes for this year! Jorge.-

From the manpage: nl_langinfo - query language and locale information CODESET (LC_CTYPE) Return a string with the name of the character encoding used in the selected locale, such as "UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1", or "ANSI_X3.4-1968" (better known as US-ASCII). This is the same string that you get with "locale charmap". For a list of character encoding names, try "locale -m", cf. locale(1). Fred

SGML question

by Sebastian Geerken

Hi! Before I start digging to the specs, someone may answer me this question faster: Should stripping spaces from attributes done before or after the conversions of entities? E.g., if I have something like <td align="char" char=" "> is the value of the "char" attribute " " (one space) or "" (empty)? Dillo does the second, so it is not possible to align characters at spaces. BTW, does someone know a good and simple way to retrieve informations about other the user has specified via $LC_...? I need this for the standard value of the "char" attribute, which depends on the language of the document (or a content part). Sebastian

Apology accepted, but at least you could have read the "README" file (section *BSD). If gmake doesn't solve it, please feel free to write to the list though! Cheers Jorge.-
