scroll_step description
by Kevin Koster 17 Oct '24

There's a new "scroll_step" option in the example configuration file for 3.1.0-rc1. The comment "Mouse wheel scroll step in pixels" suggests that this only affects the mouse wheel, but it also changes the distance the page moves when the arrow keys are pressed and the overlap of previous page content that's left when you press Page Up/Down. I think that's a little confusing, especially as the value has changed since the default behaviour in 3.0.5 (the old value seems to have been about 25).

[PATCH] User defined new tab page
by a1ex＠dismail.de 09 Jun '24

09 Jun '24

Hi list, Here is a patch to add a new tab page to dillo. You can define any url in dillorc preference 'new_tab_page', and it will be automatically opened in new tabs. Setting the value "about:blank" will retain the default blank page behavior. I tried to make it work with an empty value of "", but for some reason dillo prepends 'http:' to the value. Hopefully this won't be a problem, because now the about:blank is pre-selected and you can just start typing over it. If there is a better way to do this, I'm open to suggestions.

<td> width attributes ignored
by Kevin Koster 28 Apr '24

28 Apr '24

Another page rendering issue that's introduced after the 3.0.5 release, this time affecting my own website. URL: http://www.ombertech.com/ CSS: enabled or disabled Summary: <td> width attributes ignored. 3.0.5: Heading table at the top of the page displays correctly scaled with links in the middle formatted in a horizontal row if they all fit in 1/3rd of the browser window's width. 3.1.0-rc1: The "width" attributes of the <td> elements are ignored and the links in the middle are thereby squashed into a vertical row. Further testing with modified versions of the page shows that this table cell width problem is only present if the width attribute in the <td> elements is a percentage and the <table> element also has a width attribute set as a percentage, then the <td> width attributes get ignored. If either (or both) table or td width is in pixels, the problem isn't present, only when table and td width are both specified as percentages. So far as I can tell setting width in <table> and <td> elements as a percentage is valid for HTML 4.01 Transitional, and other browsers (Links, Firefox) render the table correctly.

Dillo not rendering HTML with comments before <!DOCTYPE>
by Kevin Koster 28 Apr '24

28 Apr '24

This problem was present in 3.0.5 as well as in 3.1.0-rc1. URL: http://www.lemis.com/ CSS: enabled or disabled Summary: Won't render HTML with comments before <!DOCTYPE>. Pages on this website aren't rendered, just displayed as source code. Although they are XHTML, this doesn't appear to be due to this bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1036382 If I save the file as lemis.xhtml and remove the two comment lines before the <!DOCTYPE> declaration, then it renders when I load it with file:// or http://, otherwise it doesn't. My reading is that comments there are valid for HTML 4 (which is declared in the page's <!DOCTYPE>) since the standard says: White space (spaces, newlines, tabs, and comments) may appear before or after each section. https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#h-7.1

Links closed empty due to <a> containing <div>
by Kevin Koster 21 Apr '24

21 Apr '24

I use Dillo 3.0.5 (with SNI support added to the HTTPS plug-in) for the majority of my web browsing, so it's great to see some movement towards the next version. Testing 3.1.0-rc1 I still notice some HTML rendering regressions and other bugs which I'll report in this and the following emails. I don't see any of these the GitHub Issues section, but I won't post them there because I hate the GitHub website - it doesn't work in my favourite web browser for one thing! Other people are welcome to, though I'll only participate in discussion here. URL: http://my-addr.com/ CSS: enabled or disabled Summary: Links closed empty due to <a> containing <div>. 3.0.5: All links on page are usable and <a> elements don't have errors listed in the bug window. 3.1.0-rc1: Links below the horizontal heading bar at the top of the page aren't usable, they're just shown as plain text. The Bug window shows all of these <a> elements are closed when a <div> element is found inside them, leaving no text present inside the link. I see that <div> isn't allowed inside <a> according to the standard, but other browsers (Links and Firefox) still render this website's links in a functional way and it's a pretty inconvenient breakage.

New feature idea: 'Open link with...' item
by a1ex＠dismail.de 10 Apr '24

10 Apr '24

Another feature which could be useful is an 'Open link with...' item. An item in the link menu which runs a command with the link as an argument. For example: Open link with... mpv (open a media stream or yt link) wget (save link/custom download) etc... Commands could be defined in dillorc, or maybe a separate text file is better (like bm.txt)? Any interest in this? Not sure how far I would get, it's probably a bit more complicated than my previous ideas.

[PATCH] Add preference to toggle reverse mouse wheel tab scrolling
