Hello everybody
I completely happy with dillo just the way it is. I consider it
insane to go on the web with javascript enabled and apart from
gmail I don't normally have cookies enabled. (how can I
differentiate the two users? i.e I have dillo of user 1 on the
the screen and a dillo of user 2 also on the screen but the 2
dillo's are identical in appearance). Anyway all of a sudden
after using dillo for a year or so I find there is a website that
I absolutely must get on but it requires javascript. Well okay I
search the web to try to find something, anything that has
javascript (I've been searching for day and night for about a
week now) and find that there are two things
1) Massive huge bloatware
2) dillo
Most things don't build, or don't have any kind of a build system
or are for x86 (I'm on arm) so I figure I have to bite the bullet
and build firefox. I've been rolling my own system for about 20
years so so I know whats involved but after two config failures
and it failing on the gigantic final link after an 8 hour build,
I come to the conclusion that lifes not worth it. I don't want
that piece of junk on my computer anyway. Links2 at one time had
javascript but they abandoned it and elinks has javascript as
long as you have seamonkey installed (tarball>190Mbytes)
Anybody got any ideas?
I did find one thing. "duktape" (http://duktape.org/)which seems
to be an exceptionlly fine piece of code which is an embeddable
Ecmascript E5/E5.1 engine with a focus on portability and compact
footprint. All the examples compiled out of the box and linking
it to dillo (duktape.c duktape.h) took a few minutes to change
the makefile. The size's of the files are
dillo 558,480
dillo 767,456 with ducttape
I don't know enough to be able to do anything with it (I work
with hardware) but thought someone might be interested as a route
to get javascript on dillo.

The Dillo user v4hn recently sent a message to this list regarding
incorrect image scaling. She or he expresses exactly what I have on my
mind:
http://lists.dillo.org/pipermail/dillo-dev/2015-July/010596.html
I use Dillo 3.0.4 from the Debian stable repositories and I experience
the ugly image scaling on many sites, for instance on the two largest
news (paper) sites here in Sweden:
http://www.dn.sehttp://www.svd.se
I can imagine that most people trying out Dillo will find the
stretched-out images very off-putting. Changing the aspect ratio of an
image is something you almost never want do do, and changing the aspect
ratio of a photo is a big no-no. What's your view on this? Do you use
Dillo with CSS disabled? Actually, I think it would be better if image
scaling was not implemented at all, rather than broken like this.
I'm not familiar with the Dillo code base but I'm a programmer
proficient with C and I know some C++, so if I (with some hints) can
help I would be more than glad to.

Hey everyone,
thanks for the great project. :-)
It is awesome to have a graphical browser at ones hand
that starts up in less than a second
and still supports most of the stuff I need.
Now, for quite some time I've been using dillo to read news
on http://www.heise.de and it has always annoyed me
that some of the images on the main page are weirdly scaled.
Because these images are of size 160x90 but are scaled to
what feels like 98% of the window's width, they are barely recognizable
and distracting.
Now with the new release out which still shows this behaviour,
I thought I'd ask whether someone's got an idea what the problem
might be in this case. Because I'm not at all familiar with the dillo
source code and/or the resp. web standards I didn't dare to debug
this myself up to now.
Would be absolutely awesome if someone could have a look at it,
v4hn
