Nikita,
Hi all Dillo developers !
There is a very small patch to support IFRAME HTML element. It does nothing except handling IFRAME via FRAME handler so special IFAME attributes(width and height) are not handled but this patch is suitable for current temporary solution (as we do not have real frame support for now).
Done!
Just a comment about this - I'm using a recent CVS version some time after this was integrated, and it causes some display issues with a lot of sites. In particular, sites that use narrow IFRAMEs for ads in a table(e.g. http://www.osnews.com, http://arstechnica.com/ ). The displayed URL seems to force the column width to be much, much wider than it normally would, making these websites look very bad (very wide column with ads, very narrow column with actual text :/ )
It's great having this patch apart from the display issues it causes. Would it be possible to make the displayed URL wrap?

Well, I noticed the problem shortly after commiting, but as I'm working hevily in dpid (with Ferdi) I didn't have the time to address it.
As an aside, it was quite an eye-opener viewing websites with this patch, I discovered many sites which I had thought to be free from advertising were in fact saturated with it - they were having about as much effect on me using Dillo as all of those pop up/under ads I hear about all the time ;)
Dillo helps a lot with advertising filtering. Also, popups don't show because of no javascript support. Yes, it was an "eye opener" to see those instrumentations. After some thought I decided to name the link "IFRAME" (the destination shows on the status bar). The patch is now in the CVS. There may still be some problems (if IFRAME is used as a web bug; i.e. invisible IFRAME for spying). I think it will be very interesting to browse and "see" what comes down the line. Another goodie of this approach is that you can search for the "IFRAME" word, and locate them. Cheers Jorge.-
