px in HTML

by nick＠linicks.net

I have noticed that Dillo doesn't render px properly - this snippet: <hr width=500px align=left> just produces: . Using 50% (e.g.) works OK. Is this bad HTML or a 'to-do' thing? BTW, great bit of kit - so fast... Nick -- Gosh that takes me back... or is it forward? That's the trouble with time travel, you never can tell." -- Doctor Who "Androids of Tara"

abort on read failure

I was recently in an environment with a very weak connection. With most sites, if I didn't get a full page, lsof would show the connection still open and just sitting there. Some sites _would_ close the connection, but unfortunately dillo wouldn't give the user any indication that further waiting was pointless. I just committed some code that aborts the connection on read failure. It also gives a status msg to the user (though status messages are imperfect, as discussed last month). The case where no data was received could bear further improvement, but I had limited time and improved what I needed most. It got a week or so of "free" testing in that bad environment, and hasn't given me any trouble since then in more solid environments.

I gave it a preliminar look and the problem is very simple, the comment terminator in the test page is "--!>" instead of "-->" , so dillo thinks of a long unterminated comment. "--!>" is not a legal comment terminator in HTML 4.01. Why some browsers honour it (e.g. SGML corner case, heuristics, ...) I don't know. It may be on purpose or just a side effect. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Cached pages

I am not sure its the same problem, but I have problems with the CSS files. When some page loads CSS files and I press "Refresh" (or Ctrl+R), Dillo reloads only the content, but not the linked CSS files. This way, when I try to design some page to be compatible with Dillo, I have to restart it on every test. Other browsers sometimes have the same problem, but they have a way to refresh with cache clearing - Ctrl+F5 in Firefox. Dillo seems to not have such mode.

Does it work for you? OK, basically on the html page with the form you enter some letters/words... hit submit (or 'process' in my case) and the perl CGI produces the results and the time taken. Now, if if you use the same words on the index page, dillo doesn't run the CGI, but produces the previous cached page - sure, a reload works, but that doesn't seem logical. Firefox doesn't do this, it runs the CGI each time, which is what I would expect on something that produces dynamic content. The page is here is you want to have a look: https://linicks.net/AnAdIc/ Nick P.S. ssl/TLS works well on my site! -- Gosh that takes me back... or is it forward?

Non-drawing of nested tables

by james.from.wellington＠gmail.com

The attached html draws nested tables with green borders on (old) Safari, Chrome and Firefox on OSX 10.6.8. On the tip of the default branch of dillo, it draws the page title and nothing else. I plan to keep deploying it, in the hope that dillo's behaviour will change toward everything else's. If someone wants to supervise me toward accepting a patch, then I'm willing to explore toward fixing it. Regards, James.

Hi all, I first used 'dillo' many years go on a 486 running Mandrake Linux around 2004. Since then, forgot all about it. Until now - it is brilliant. Anyway, to the point. I run my own web server, and while debugging CGI perl scripts etc. dillo somehow caches the results from the output produced. Usually shift+[refresh] drops the cache and gets the new page, but the only way I get get dillo to do this is exit, and restart (no big deal with a 0.02 second start-up time :) ) Ideas?
