Dillo + Partial Javascript Support
Hi I have a cnm minibook which is part of a little Linux laptop family of mini laptops that use low powered Mipsel processors running Lnux. An unofficial site is here: http://linuxlaptopforum.ark2webdesign.co.uk/index.php One of the users has come up with a Linux distro called 3MX which uses IceWeseal but has also Dillo. The reason for this is because IceWeasel is a bit slow due to the low spec processor. Dillo runs far better than IceWeasel and would be an ideal replacement if it had the functionality of Javascript. Rather than somebody trying to get full Javascript suport for Dillo, I was thinking along the lines of partial Javascript support. The bare minimum would be to access websites that use Javascript to allow logins to forums etc. If any more functionality could be added so that for example social network sites like facebook or bebo then that would be great.On a personal note, I don't mind the lack of CSS when displaying pages on Dillo due to the small screen size of the minibook so any Javascript concerning that is not necessary. It is theoritcally possible as I use the noscript plugin on Firefox on my home PC which blocks javascript from certain 3rd party sites from running. I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts if the above is achievable and if so what would be the best Javascript engine to use with Dillo to achive this? Thanks in advance alsaf. _________________________________________________________________ Share your photos with Windows Live Photos ? Free. http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/134665338/direct/01/

There are several free ecmascript interpreters available, choosing one of them and putting it into a dillo plugin is the easy part. But in order to be useful the script needs the ability to manipulate the page content. And designing that part right is hard...

I found another thread about Javascript support in the dillo archives: http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2005-March/002614.html As I mentioned, I am not interested in the parts of Javascript that does dynamic HTML but the ones that allow logins which I assume is network based (sorry for lack of knowledge, I had done some basic Javascript a year or two ago). Hopefully this will not require too much change to Dillo as my C skills are a bit rusty and would like to concentrate on something small like a plugin while I get up to speed. I've got some time off work so if I don't get distracted I'll have a look how you could go about it. _________________________________________________________________ View your Twitter and Flickr updates from one place ?
