css :visited and security
by corvid＠lavabit.com 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

The other day, I saw another of those pages about using :visited and display in order to allow others to learn whether the user has visited a page. (I remember Johannes pointing to a page about this last year, too.) I wonder whether it would be sensible to have a dillorc option defaulting to NO for whether to use :visited.

Problems viewing page source
by andreas＠kemnade.info 04 Mar '10

Hi, when I open http://misc.andi.de1.cc/dillo and I right-click on the page and select "View page source", I can see the html source. Contrary: http://misc.andi.de1.cc/dillo/?dillo The ?dillo is ignored by the server, so the same page is displayed. But I cannot get the source for the page. Dillo shows simply an empty tab then.

earthquake

Hi, Just in case you hear/read something related to the earthquake in Chile, it was stronger than the one in 1985, but we're OK and although we're in the central part of the country, it is roughly 400 Km. north from the more affected area. You'll see impressive images, but that's not the main part, it's just a "front page" photo impact. This country is full of quake-resistant buildings, and usually the ones that collapse are the oldest ones or the new structures were people decided to steal money (as with the elevated highways). The situation is complex but under control. -- Cheers Jorge.-

fullwindow_start=YES config doesn't work with 2.2
by dennisn＠dennisn.dyndns.org 27 Feb '10

When dillorc's fullwindow_start=YES (which is supposed to hide the widget panels on startup), it doesn't actually do this. (It does hide it after you click on a link or type in a url.) My guess is it was assumed that the first thing you want to do when opening a browser is to type in a url (or click a bookmark link, etc) -- but this is not true. (Many times I want to simply load a single page and then close it.)

img'es from funny redirecting urls aren't displayed
by dennisn＠dennisn.dyndns.org 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

For example, opening a simple page with: <html> <body> <img src="http://imgur.com/N2XcD.png" /> </body> </html> ... the image is not displayed. Dillo simply says: Dns_server [0]: imgur.com is 72.251.206.98 BUT opening "dillo http://imgur.com/N2XcD.png" works: Dns_server [0]: imgur.com is 72.251.206.98 Connecting to 72.251.206.98 Nav_open_url: new url='http://i.imgur.com/N2XcD.png' Dns_server [0]: i.imgur.com is 208.122.28.2 208.122.28.3 208.122.28.4 208.122.28.10 208.122.28.11 208.122.28.12 208.122.28.13 208.122.28.18 208.122.28.20 208.122.28.21 208.122.28.26 208.122.28.27 208.122.28.29 208.122.28.30 Connecting to 208.122.28.2

Dillo 2.2 from a web designer's perspective
by strenholme.usenet＠gmail.com 24 Feb '10

24 Feb '10

I have always had a soft spot for the Dillo web browser. It is the only graphical browser I am able to get to run on an old Gateway Handbook I have lurking around. Dillo is a browser which runs nicely on Windows 3.11 era machines while any other current browser plain simply does not run on a computer from that era. So, I like to keep up to date with what's happening with Dillo. Well, poking around I noticed Dillo 2.2 with CSS support was release just over a week ago. Indeed, most web pages look nicer with the limited CSS Dillo 2.2 supports than with no CSS at how. Naturally, I tested how Dillo 2.2 renders CSS. Which means going to the Acid2 test at http://acid2.acidtests.org/ This is what I got: http://www.samiam.org/dillo/Dillo-2.2-acid2test.png Now, I understand that it's going to take a lot of time and effort from you developers to get a smiley face on this page. I don't expect a Dillo 2.3 to be released tomorrow with a nice smiley face when taking the Acid 2 test. However, what I think is important to do is to have it so web designers who care about Dillo compatibility have a way of hiding CSS which doesn't look good in Dillo while having their pages look fine in other browsers. So, I've found a hack to hide CSS from Dillo: @media all Here's an example from the CSS for http://samiam.org/ @media all { #htext { margin-left: 80px; } } #htext { font-size: x-large; font-weight: bold; color: white; } [...] @media all { .t1 { background: #d1e2f2; height: 1px; font-size: 0px; border-right: 1px solid #5a6173; } } @media all { .t2 { background: #d1e2f2; height: 1px; display: block !important; display: none; border-right: 2px solid #5a6173; } } @media all { .t3 { background: #acc6e6; border-left: 2px solid #d1e2f2; height: 2px; font-size: 0px; border-right: 2px solid #5a6173; } } [etc] This works quite nicely with Dillo 2.2; @media all (an old hack used for ancient versions of Opera with CSS problems) hides the CSS from Dillo 2.2 while keeping the CSS visible in Internet Explorer 6 and all other web browsers I know of. I was able to use it to have my page look reasonable in Dillo 2.2. So, I have a request: Please do not "fix" the @media all "bug" in Dillo's CSS support until http://acid2.acidtests.org gives us the entire smiling face. This way, web designers can continue to keep their sites looking reasonably nice in Dillo. Thank you for the excellent browser and allowing people with 386s and 486s to still browse the Internet. - Sam

View source
by jcid＠dillo.org 22 Feb '10

Hi there, Just committed a patch for "view source" as a filter dpi. The source is simple and is well commented. There're three modes: plain text, numbered plain text, numbered html. The latter one is the default. Just give the source a look to change modes. It is very simple to tweak and improve. I remember somebody asked for "view source" in a favorite editor. From the dpi is simple. e.g. save to /tmp/source.txt and execl your editor. Comments, patches, cool styles, etc are welcomed. Enjoy! -- Cheers Jorge.-
