Thanks a lot for the useful information! It seems like w3c decided to tolerate META refresh when the delay is zero. i.e. "instant client-side redirect". That explains its usage. OK, I'll work on a patch for this and the related bug that furaisanjin wrote (W3C's example uses a quoted URL). -- Cheers Jorge.-

Currently, the item group positions itself relative to the selected item and the cursor. This is: the selected item is drawn under the mouse pointer, and the rest of the widget adjusted around. This is confusing (especially when one is drawn over the other). This is a FLTK feature that can be disabled. The idea is to have the parent menu drawn just under the selection widget, like here: [Option 1 v] .-------------. | Group1 >| | Group2 >| | Group3 >|.----------. '-------------'| Opt1 G3 | |=Opt2=G3==| <- Selected option | Opt3 G3 | '----------' Note 1: in this case a click with the mouse pointer over the "[Option 1 v]" widget is necessary to display the menus, but they draw relative to the parent ("[Option 1 v]") instead of making the selected option appear under the mouse pointer. Note 2: Firefox does an "incorrect" rendering according to this page: http://www.tantek.com/HTML4/OPTGROUP.html -- Cheers Jorge.-

My valgrind logs, for all to see.

by onepoint＠starurchin.org

For your information. http://starurchin.org/dillo/valgrind.html It lists the valgrind errors from my most recent Dillo sessions. It's just one big static HTML page at the moment. Feel free to suggest how it could be more useful. You can see we're still getting lots of small leaks from the CSS parser, though the big ones have been fixed by recent commits.

If I have a style.css containing: * {font-size: 30px} and a page containing: regular regular <span>large</span> Can it be interpreted as "make everything big"? I was also thinking that we would need to get the color and size from StyleEngine for plain and root png/gif backgrounds...

I think that * it is used as a supplement to server-side redirect (the Location: header) * instead of server-side redirect (whatever the reasons [1]) In both cases, the user is not supposed to see the redirect happening, as it is happening for technical (and not necessarily clever) reasons. I might be totally wrong, but these are the impressions I got while investigating how to redirect the user to another page after a successful POST (so the data is not submitted again in case of a client-side page refresh). [1] Following the link, there is this sentence: http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20081211/G110.html "However, authors do not always have control over server-side technologies; in that case, they can use a client-side redirect."
