form input placeholder text
by eocene＠gmx.com Jan. 24, 2015

Jan. 24, 2015

Everyone's getting into the habit of using the html5 placeholder attributes on form inputs to tell users what the inputs are for, decreasing usability for the rest of us, so I implemented it for INPUT text/password. (It's also legal on TEXTAREA.) http://www.dillo.org/test/input_placeholder.diff

How to do a local install?
by waltdnes＠waltdnes.org Jan. 22, 2015

Jan. 22, 2015

It's taken me a while to get around to trying to install from the git repository. With experimental stuff, I prefer to do things in my local directory, so that if it blows up, it doesn't blow up with root permissions. I've done this in the past with other software, so I think it can be done. Note that I'm running in Gentoo, if it makes any difference. I have fltk-1.3.2 installed with USE="opengl threads xft" enabled and other fltk options disabled. Here's my /home/waltdnes/dillo/dbuild script, which I've loosely based on instructions at http://www.dillo.org/source.html After the initial "hg clone" command, updates are pulled in by "git pull" from inside the dillo3 directory; is that correct? #!/bin/bash # hg clone http://hg.dillo.org/dillo dillo3 cd /home/waltdnes/dillo/dillo3 PREFIX=/home/waltdnes/.local CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables" CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS} make clean git pull ./autogen.sh ./configure make make install-strip The process works until the last step, where it's suggested to sudo, to allow installing in /usr/local It fails like so... make[4]: Entering directory '/home/waltdnes/dillo/dillo3/src' /bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/bin' /bin/sh /home/waltdnes/dillo/dillo3/install-sh -c -s dillo '/usr/local/bin' cp: cannot create regular file '/usr/local/bin/_inst.22011_': Permission denied Makefile:538: recipe for target 'install-binPROGRAMS' failed make[4]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory '/home/waltdnes/dillo/dillo3/src' Makefile:856: recipe for target 'install-am' failed make[3]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/waltdnes/dillo/dillo3/src' Makefile:695: recipe for target 'install-recursive' failed make[2]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/waltdnes/dillo/dillo3/src' Makefile:469: recipe for target 'install-recursive' failed make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/waltdnes/dillo/dillo3' Makefile:767: recipe for target 'install-strip' failed make: *** [install-strip] Error 2 What settings do I need to make to get the install totally in my home directory? While I'm at it, what are the manual tweaks to enable "gif jpeg png ssl" and disable "-doc -ipv6" in the build? Can all the settings be put into local.mk, so I can "set it and forget it"? -- Walter Dnes <waltdnes at waltdnes.org>

addParbreak, display:inline
by eocene＠gmx.com Jan. 19, 2015

Jan. 19, 2015

I was looking at why the page numbers at the bottom of a startpage search results page aren't visible. It seems that the numbers are forms with display:inline. open_form has HT2TB(html)->addParbreak (9, html->wordStyle ()); Am I correct in thinking that the assorted addParbreak()s have to come out at some point for display to work, or is there some other plan? I note that the html5 spec has: "In quirks mode, the following rules are also expected to apply: ... form { margin-bottom: 1em; }" to provide the gap in this case.

resolution independent px
by Johannes.Hofmann＠gmx.de Jan. 18, 2015

Jan. 18, 2015

Hi, attached is a patch that would enable resolution independent handling of px as described in [1]. It would result in roughly equally sized images on high and low resolution devices at the cost of a higher overhead for additional image scaling. Is there a need for something like this? Should it be enabled via config option or should we do it automatically if we detect a DPI value that differs a lot from the standard value? Cheers, Johannes [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/syndata.html#x39

should we have a dillo-announce list?

Seems like a release announcements list would be valuable...

background images

Saw another case today where a forum had quoted text obscured by repeated background quotation marks. Playing around a little, the behaviour seems flaky (html and image files attached).

different rendering depending on DOCTYPE
by Johannes.Hofmann＠gmx.de Jan. 11, 2015

Jan. 11, 2015

Hi, I noticed, that firefox and chrome render stuff differently depending on the DOCTYPE. Attached is a small example. firefox doesn't show overlapping text but dillo does. When the DOCTYPE line is removed firefox renders the page as dillo does. Wikipedia has some information about the topic at [1]. I think at some point we need to handle these cases too. It would also be interesting which rule exactly prevents firefox from showing overlapping text when the DOCTYPE line is present. Cheers, Johannes [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirks_mode

what's currently broken in dillo
by eocene＠gmx.com Jan. 7, 2015

Jan. 7, 2015

- vsource request crashes when dpid isn't working. - source is slow to render, seemingly something to do with large tables. - on some sites, rendering never stops as the horizontal scrollbar shows the page growing wider and wider. - on some sites, the ending words of a line are missing. - img alt text not constrained by width/height. - --local : reload turns off URL_SpamSafe, but there it is again upon repush. - "shift+arrows in the url bar is doing nothing instead of selecting the text".

Even though 3.0.4.1 only has a few changes, it's nice to have an RC and make sure that everything is all right, so: http://www.dillo.org/download/dillo-3.0.4.1-rc1.tar.bz2
