Fw: Slashdot's HTML fix (fwd)
by Jorge Arellano Cid 16 Oct '03

16 Oct '03

Hi, Here I quote the email Andreas sent to Rob Malda with regard to Slashdot's HTML (rendering problems). We haven't got an answer, so if you can contact Rob, please do so. I have tried. Currently also with gnu-darwin's maintainer we're trying to contact Slashdot's webmasters with a view to fix it. The problem is that we don't have anything but the generic email address, and surely it collects tons of emails. :( Please, if someone in this list has an inner track to /.'s webmasters, please help us to deliver this email. Cheers Jorge.- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Begin forwarded message: Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 17:07:31 +0200 From: Andreas Kemnade <akemnade(a)informatik.uni-bremen.de> To: malda(a)slashdot.org Subject: Slashdot's HTML fix Hello Rob, I (and many others) have some problems reading http://slashdot.org/ with dillo (http://www.dillo.org) It was ok for years but since some weeks the page is almost completely unreadable. Screenshot: http://users.auriga.wearlab.de/~andi/slash2.png Seeing so much black is really depressing ;-) tidy (a html cleanup program from the w3c) shows lots of warnings. But after tidy has cleaned up the html, dillo shows it almost correctly. After some more investigation, I have found the error which makes the page black:  <A HREF="//science.slashdot.org">Science</A>   3 more</TD></TR> <TR><TD >  <A HREF="//yro.slashdot.org">YRO</A></TD></TR> </TD></TR> ^^^^^^^^^^ There has to be only one </td></tr> pair. So it has to be this way:  <A HREF="//science.slashdot.org">Science</A>   3 more</TD></TR> <TR><TD >  <A HREF="//yro.slashdot.org">YRO</A></TD></TR>  without the extra </td></tr>. I guess after removing that table, you have forgotten the </td></tr>. Screenshot with that correction: http://users.auriga.wearlab.de/~andi/slash1.png It looks quite nice again. I hope you can easily find the html bug in the perl code. You'll make a lot of dillo users happy and the page a bit more W3C compiliant. Greetings Andreas Kemnade PS: Your site http://CmdrTaco.net/ also looks nice with dillo.

If Pango is the problem, again, before changing the underlying widget system, perhaps some investigation in concert with the Pango developers should be done to see if there's some way to optimize dillo or Pango.

This error is present in the CVS version of Dillo as well, but there it does not matter much (probably why it was not discovered before). In menu.c:Menu_add(): if (callback != NULL) { gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(menuitem), "activate", (GtkSignalFunc) Menu_pick_url, data); ^^^^ "data" should be "bw", as Menu_pick_url() needs a BrowserWindow* as second parameter. In CVS Dillo "data" (which is used as user data for callbacks) happens to be always set to "bw", so this bug did not manifest itself. In the patched version, some callbacks expect a DilloDoc* as parameter though... So Menu_pick_url() is called with a DilloDoc* instead of a BrowserWindow*... The fix is simple: <PATCH> diff -pruN dillo/src/menu.c dillo_patched/src/menu.c --- dillo/src/menu.c 2003-09-25 15:10:24.000000000 +0200 +++ dillo_patched/src/menu.c 2003-10-16 14:56:38.733763968 +0200 @@ -109,7 +109,7 @@ static GtkWidget * } if (callback != NULL) { gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(menuitem), "activate", - (GtkSignalFunc) Menu_pick_url, data); + (GtkSignalFunc) Menu_pick_url, bw); gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(menuitem), "activate", (GtkSignalFunc) callback, data); } </PATCH> Jorge, can you commit this patchlet to CVS?

I'll add a GMT date/time to the CVS version to be used. The date-string on the patch is autogenerated by my patch scripts, it just tells the date I made a release.

[PATCH] version 11 of tab/frame patch, added keyboard navigation
by Frank de Lange 16 Oct '03

16 Oct '03

Hi'all, The next version (11) of my tab patch is ready (see bottom of this message for download instructions). The big new features are keyboard navigation and configurable key bindings (currently only for keyboard navigation and scrolling, more will be added later). See below for more information on these features. Keyboard navigation is also available in a separate patch, for those who do not want to apply the tab/frame patch. Watch the mailing list and/or see the patch website (http://www.geocities.com/ikbenfrank/) for more information. New features: - keyboard navigation! - configurable key bindings (for keyboard navigation and scrolling) Fixed bugs - solved the 'missing frames' problem for German (and other?) users. Stephan Goetter pointed me in the right direction (the German locale uses the "," as a decimal separator). Some behavioural changes with regard to stock (CVS) Dillo: - Shift-Ctrl-L (instead of Ctrl-L) for "open URL" dialog - Ctrl-L for "focus location bar" - Ctrl-S for "Save page As..." - Ctrl-U for "view source" while in a document, "clear entry" everywhere else (in stock Dillo this key is bound to "focus location bar" while in a document) - Ctrl-B for "Bookmark this page" - Alt-H for "Home" - "/" starts incremental search instead of normal search. For normal (non-incremental) search use Ctrl-F Support for the 0.7.3 branch has been dropped as of this version of this patch. Sorry, folks, but that is the price you pay for progress... Currently, both tab and frame support can be turned off completely, producing a smaller binary. I might (on request of other Dillo developers) remove the conditional compilation, thereby making tab and frame support a permanent feature of Dillo. If you want to keep the conditional compilation feature, speak out on the mailing list! Keyboard navigation can currently NOT be turned off, let me know if this is needed. Frameset (and iframe) support is enabled by default, it can be disabled using the configure option --enable-xhtml-dtd=strict. You can also use --enable-xhtml-dtd=transitional, which will give you iframe but no frameset support. The default option, --enable-xhtml-dtd=frameset, gives both iframe and frameset support. As usual, tab support can be disabled using --disable-tabs. What does not work yet: - the full_screen_off_button is not shown in frame documents. Use double-click instead to toggle the full screen setting... - the frameborder attribute works, but dw_gtk_scrolled_frame always draws a (focus) shadow around itself - even with the border size is set to 0. This can be solved in several ways - adding a 'borderless' attribute to dw_gtk_scrolled_frame, using a special borderless GTK theme for the widget, etc. In GTK2 this is all much easier (just set the widget's style's xthickness/ythickness to 0), but we're not there yet... - borderless frames can not be resized, even though Dillo always shows a thin border (see above). Who cares about resizing borderless frames? Mozilla does it, but I don't think this is an issue. Agree? - iframes always have a border (see above) Keyboard Navigation =================== You can use the keyboard to navigate links and controls in Dillo. In the default configuration, the following keys are used: Alt-Up: link UP Alt-Down: link DOWN Alt-Left: link LEFT Alt-Right: link RIGHT Enter: follow link or activate GTK+ widget Escape: unhighlight link In a non-frames version of Dillo the following keys are also used: Tab: NEXT link Shift-Tab: PREVIOUS link these keys are not bound by default in a frames-capable version of Dillo because they are used to navigate between frames. You are free to bind them (or any other key combination) to these functions though (see Keyboard bindings) Sometimes the result of link UP and link DOWN seems a bit unpredictable. This can happen when the next UP or DOWN link is currently not visible (below the bottom or above the top of the window). The screen coordinates for words are only known when they are in the visible area of the viewport, so off-screen links are accessed sequentially instead. Search and keyboard navigation ------------------------------ Keyboard navigation works with the Search feature: if search hits a link, it will be focused. Press <Enter> in the viewport to follow the link, <Esc> to unhighlight it. When using the status bar for search (an optional feature in the tabbed version of Dillo), press <Esc> to close the search entry followed by <Enter> to follow the link. A second <Esc> will unhighlight the focused link. Pressing <Enter> in the search entry (popup or status bar) repeats the search. History ------- The focus location is saved when navigating to another document in the same window or tab. This makes it possible to go back in history and continue to the next link on the page. Form fields ----------- The same keys used for link navigation work for form field navigation. Do note however that form fields, being embedded GTK+ widgets, can have their own bindings for some functions. As an example, the space bar is bound to the activate function in radio buttons. Keyboard bindings ================= It is possible to change the keyboard bindings used for keyboard navigation, either through editing the dillorc or by adding a section to any of the current GTK+ rc-files. The syntax is the same, the only difference is the addition of the preference keyword "key_bindings" in the dillorc and the fact that the bindings have to be enclosed in double quotes. An example of the configuration syntax can be found in the dillorc and on the mailing list. Tabs, Frames, Keyboard navigation and browser bloat =================================================== version: 0.8.0-pre patch: dillo-20031015-tabs.patch.gz unpatched: 294132 bytes patched, no tabs, no frames: 308404 bytes patched, with tabs, no frames: 315220 bytes patched, no tabs, with frames: 324852 bytes patched, with tabs, with frames: 333108 bytes (gcc 3.2.2, binutils 2.13.90.0.18, CFLAGS "-Os") The increase in size is due to the addition of keyboard navigation. If you want to be able to compile Dillo without this feature (it takes about 10 KB) let me know through the mailing list. Download instructions ===================== The patch is made against 20031014 CVS. Do not forget to run ./autogen.sh after applying the patch. You can find the patch on the usual (ad-happy, use an ad-blocking proxy or sane browser) site: http://www.geocities.com/ikbenfrank/ More specifically: Dillo 0.8.0-pre (CVS) ===================== http://www.geocities.com/ikbenfrank/dillo-20031015-tabs.patch.gz size: 85716 bytes (gzipped, as downloaded) 371416 bytes (uncompressed) md5sum: 358041a00feeef1706b81d24a985613a (gzipped, as downloaded) bf61b1bdb212c69c30ee1fa6fa74f729 (uncompressed) As always, check the site for the most recent version Cheers//Frank -- WWWWW ________________________ ## o o\ / Frank de Lange \ }# \| / +46-734352015 \ \ `--| _/ <Hacker for Hire> \ `---' \ +31-640037120 / \ frank(a)unternet.org / `------------------------' [ "Omnis enim res, quae dando non deficit, dum habetur et non datur, nondum habetur, quomodo habenda est." ]
