I don't know why. No there's no way to do it without modifying the source code. The good news is that this is easy. Just add an entry to the link's popup menu and hook your program there. If you need to get rid of the popup, remove the popup's hook and insert your program instead. HTH -- Cheers Jorge.-

Excellent Thorben. Please coordinate with Jörgen to embed the mailing list specific google search entry HTML into the site. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Matthias is right. Our idea is to switch Dillo to FLTK and then to handle strings in UTF8, the other encodings can be converted to it. FLTK is not as far as it seems. After dillo-0.8.3 is released, Sebastian will merge the new Dw abstraction layer. We also have a testbed to test Dw over another widget set (in this case FLTK). Once the Dw testbed works over FLTK, the next step is to do the same with the Dw inside Dillo, and finally to port Dillo's GUI to FLTK (a simple task because our GUI is no rocket science). Manpower is highly appreciated. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Sorry, a bit of humor. *Headdesk* means the act of banging your head on the desk, usually from frustration or discovery that you've been an idiot, or both. The words "head" and "desk" are run together, in a visual joke of the two colliding. It probably doesn't translated well... L J Laubenheimer

It's all > worked out of the box with no problems. Probably because installing GTK1 (and all the associated other bits that it needs, like glib and the legacy X fonts) would take too much disk space. On a modern system you probably aren't going to have any other GTK1-based applications, and it's hard to justify installing those extra things just for Dillo. In the Familiar project, we are still using Dillo 0.6.7, because that's the only version that I could find with working GTK2 patches. Some of our target machines have only 16MB of memory, and we'd have to remove a significant amount of other functionality to make space for a GTK1-based Dillo. p.

This hasn't been implemented so far. It's not hard to do at all. It's just the lack of developers. For instance, provided that "file:" URLs are sent to a dillo plugin (dpi), the same can be done for "mailto:". Even more, it would be much simpler than with "file:". *sigh* -- Cheers Jorge.-

[Dillo-dev]testing dillo-0.8.3-rc1

by Bjoern Brill

Hello, I've tried out dillo-0.8.3-rc1 for a few days on a Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 "woody"/i386 system. It compiled and installed cleanly, and I did not encounter any regressions against 0.8.2 yet. The parser changes are a real improvement -- several formerly problematic sites I've tried work now, and the "Detected HTML errors" view produces much more meaningful results. Two small problems I've encountered: - It seems that, if a pair of <a href="..."> </a> tags contains something illegal, like <div>, then the <a> tags are ignored, rather than the illegal stuff inside. That's suboptimal. As an example, look at http://www.kmelektronik.de/ (admittedly a very broken site, standards-wise). The text fragments "Light-Version Versand" and "Light-Version Shop" near the page bottom should really be links. If this is hard to fix, then don't bother. - This one is not new, but I fixed it a while ago for myself and then forgot about it: the "This page uses the NON-STANDARD meta refresh tag..." warning usually occurs inside <head>, but is immediately sent to the parser, which in turn switches its HTML processing state from IN_HEAD to IN_BODY prematurely. After that, head-only tags like <title> and <base> are ignored. A minimal fix is at the end of the mail.
