experimental patch: zero width space (Thai, Lao, Cambodian...)
by corvid＠lavabit.com 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

I just learned that some languages don't use spaces but can only break in certain places, and that they tend to insert Zero Width Space to make life easier for software that doesn't know the complex rules. So here's a quick little patch for them: http://www.dillo.org/test/zero_width_space.patch PS I did just start trying to move the ideographic test to dw, but I got stuck when I realized that I can't exactly call fltk's utf8decode() directly in Textblock, and am not excited by the idea of calling it through Layout.

What's the status of USE_TABLES?
by onepoint＠starurchin.org 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

This came up as an aside to the meta refresh discussion in another thread: is USE_TABLES obsolete or not? If it is, we should remove it, if not, it should be hooked to a configure flag. I'll submit a patch as soon as someone tells me which way to go. Regards, Jeremy Henty

Typing Bug when moving Dillo on DWM's Virtual Desktops
by rogerx＠sdf.lonestar.org 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

I'm finally tackling a typing bug with Dillo, and have found it occurs when moving the Dillo browser to DMW's other virtual desktops. It doesn't occur when Dillo is first started. Nothing, if anything at all, shows within gdb. And, I can't really get to the debug output of DWM as I'm running nvidia proprietary drivers which blanks the terminal once X is started. I do have a laptop for which I can further investigate the DWM debug data, but figured I should post what I know to see if any of you notice similar. The basic bug scenario, move the Dillo browser to another Virtual Desktop within DWM and start typing (within the url field or within the Google search field.) I notice only certain keys type their characters and most others will either type nothing or may clear the entire field (ie. clear line) Possible a meta key sticks when moving the browser to another desktop?? -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org

[patch]: fix the meta-refresh warning code
by onepoint＠starurchin.org 28 Sep '09

28 Sep '09

Long time no post! Here's a fix for an outstanding TODO in html.cc. It replaces the code that creates the HTML META REFRESH warning (which sends HTML to Html_write_raw()) with a function that creates the widgets directly. There are still a few issues: * The HTML parser in table.cc does not create table widgets if USE_TABLES is not defined. Perhaps this code should do the same? * The new widgets do not have 'width="100%"' set, so the horizontal layout is slightly different. * The redirect link colour does not reflect whether the link URL has been visited. * It would be nice if the widgets and the redirect link were styled from the User Agent style in css.cc . I couldn't figure out how to do that so I just copied a few things like the link colour and text decoration. If someone tells me how to do this properly I'll revise the code. Please comment!

Weird chars bug

Hi, Since dillo-2.1, enabled-CSS makes funny chars in this page: http://blogdrake.net/node/14916 Screenshot: http://www.dillo.org/test/weirdChars.jpg Disabling it from the tools button solves the problem. Does anybody know what's the problem here? -- Cheers Jorge.-

experimental patch: image loading options "same domain", "same host"
by corvid＠lavabit.com 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

I just put together a somewhat hacky patch to add "same host" and "same domain" for image loading from the tools button (or dillorc) http://www.dillo.org/test/img_loading_options.patch I ran on it as long as I could tolerate images over dialup (not long :), so here it is, and I will clean it up if there is interest shown in getting it into dillo. (I would probably want to change the names of the dillorc choices for image loading, make the internal value into an enum, look at the loadImages/autoload_image code duplication, etc., etc... Oh, and look up how to fix the tools menu width...)

View page source suggestions
by dennisn＠dennisn.dyndns.org 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Currently, the "View page source" right-click context menu isn't available below the rendered html -- so if the actual html page is very small and/or dillo's window is very big, right clicking the bottom half (for example) of the browser does nothing :\. Also, is there a way to have the source viewed in one's preferred text editor? :b (read: gvim)

[devidfil@gmail.com: [Dillo-dev] Switch to fltk1.3?]

The point is to have a solid release date to start the port. When we started with fltk2 it was supposed to be released soon... :P I'm writing to the fltk1.3 team. Stay tuned. -- Cheers Jorge.-

nytimes links and redirection
by corvid＠lavabit.com 05 Sep '09

05 Sep '09

I'd been in the habit of letting wget retrieve nytimes links, but today I finally fought with it long enought to learn a few things. - wget works because it remembers cookies while redirecting. I was sure that enabling cookies required a flag, but nope. - If I increase the maximum redirect level in dillo, it gets up to 9 before nytimes relents and figures out that I don't want to give it any cookies and provides me with the page. - If I change the www to www10, it works immediately and doesn't bother with redirection at all.
