Hello all, Forgive me if this has been discussed before (I do not recall seeing it since I have been following the mailing list). I recently started experimenting with some HTML5 stuff on a page I maintain, and as expected, dillo indicated an error in the html source. You can see the page here: http://www3.sympatico.ca/rsquared/gdb/ The error is: "HTML warning: line 2, the required DOCTYPE declaration is missing (or invalid)" Now this does not surprise me at all, as I presume dillo is not expecting the new doctype declaration. Anyway, I thought I might raise this issue, and see what sort of mind the devs have about implementing HTML5 in dillo. Of course, I realise you fellows are probably up to your ears in the FLTK 1.3 port, but I thought this might make for an interesting discussion, if nothing else. To start off, I suppose the danger in implementing any of the new html stuff is that it is not standardised at all yet. See here for more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5#W3C_standardization_process I guess the worry is that it could possibly be a bit of a moving target. Rob
Blast it! I just figured out how to build the new 1.3 port, and realised that you fellows have at least addressed the HTML5 issue in part. ? As an aside, with the new browser brings a different issue, which I will address a little later in a different thread.
