css progress

by furaisanjin＠gmail.com

Hi, One strong demand is that there are pages whose font color and background color are same in plain HTML but are changed in CSS. In this case we can't see any text at all. This is one example page. http://www.nhk.or.jp/archives/radiodrama/ Regards, furaisanjin

Global configuration file referenced in .dillorc, if you want to override the default: copy & adjust link. Joerg

You don't have to hard-code it -- read it on startup, it is not more than a mapping between user-visible name (hierachical?) and system string. That approach also has the advantage of making it easily tweakable for admins/packagers/users. Joerg

I hadn't bothered to look at the list in Firefox because I thought it would certainly be eight miles -- sorry, kilometres -- long, but actually it's not so bad. A list that size could fit into dillo. I'll try making one that does as you suggest.

Is it faulty webserver configuration? People don't specify a charset, or put the wrong one. For me, it doesn't make much difference because it'll usually just be the quotation marks and dashes that don't show up properly, but I suspect it matters more for people using languages where the possible encodings are very different. bug#822 requested such a thing, giving http://www.ixbt.com as an example (which does not tell the browser that it's in windows-1251 encoding)

You can get a list that is mostly exhaustive by calling "iconv -l". Note that the list is long and there's no portable way to do that directly in C. An alternative might be to just list the normal encodings and provide a way to specify one directly. Joerg

I never needed to switch the charset, but I noticed that firefox also has a dialog to do so. When exactly is this needed and why doesn't automatic detection work properly? Is it faulty webserver configuration? Anyway, if it's useful and other browsers also offer this, why not include it? Cheers, Johannes

Well, fltk.org is one of the few sites where current CSS prototype improves the look. There is a lot where it gets worse. There also is a noticable reduction in rendering speed depending on the size of the stylesheet. I'd say we wait until automatic stylesheet loading is implemented. Then we can decide whether to merge CSS support. Regards, Johannes

I know that Jorge finds a charset selection dialog where the user has to know what to enter to be insufficiently user-friendly, but I don't know a nice alternative, and this can go in the dillo-dev archives for anyone who wants it.
