Incorrect rendering of tables on fresco.org
I have noticed that the tables at fresco.org are rendered incorrectly - in particular the "introduction" page. All the tables become _very_ thin - is this a non-standard page, or a to-be-worked bug in dillo? I understand that this site probably uses floating tables, but why are the tables so thin? Also, is it possible to use dillo as a plug-in in non-gtk apps? (ie: porting) I am not a fresco developer :) I'm just interested...

Perhaps. Dillo can be started with the X11-Window ID of the window where it will be embedded. But I don't know of any non-gtk application that does this. AFAIK, newer xterms can be embedded in a gtk application (I did some tests) using the same mechanism. So I would say the other way (gtk app in a Xlib app) should be possible.

after some more looking at it, the problem is that the cell containing the actual content is declared as: <td width="" valign="top"> and dillo seems to give the empty width a lower priority than anything else, instead of ignoring it like other browsers seem to. Thorben Thuermer

I'll alert the fresco team about that - thanks :)

Dillo treats this as 0, as soon as the attribute "width" exists, which normally means that a column is rendered as narrow as possible (this is called "size hint" in the documentation). The latter is not actually the case, but dillo's table rendering is still neccessary to improve. (This is just how dillo behaves, not how it should behave.) Sebastian

You may take a look at <http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/xembed.html>. Since dillo uses Gtk+ for embedding (although I don't know how far Gtk+ 1.2 complies to the specification), it's possible that using this protocol should do the job. Sebastian
