[Netsurf-develop] Saving pages

by David Crofts

Is it intended that Netsurf should remember where it has saved pages, as other Browsers do? Every time I save a page I have to drag it to the directory, even if I have saved to that location already during that session. It would be so much easier if I could just click save and it knew where to put it! With thanks for all your great work! David Crofts

[Netsurf-develop] <noscript>

by Adam

Hi, Prompted by James' post I just downloaded the most recent build and it seems way faster than the one I've been using :-) Keep up the good work! On the down side... my page at: http://www.snowstone.org.uk/riscos/ has a bit of javascript in it (generated from HTML3) but it's got a <noscript> alternative. NetSurf renders is with a large section of blank space - there should be no gap between "have a look at this" and "quick example". Is it a problem with my page, or NetSurf's rendering? Cheers, Adam -- Adam Richardson Carpe Diem http://www.snowstone.org.uk/riscos/

[Netsurf-develop] Downloading Netsurf

by Harriet Bazley

I simply can't get NetSurf to download any more; I've tried on three or four different occasions over the last month and it just keeps failing partway through. Is there another source somewhere? -- H. Bazley Mate, this parrot wouldn't VOOM if you put four million volts through it!

[Netsurf-develop] Webpage not available and unknown domain

by Stefaan Claes

Hello, There seems to be a small problem when a web page is not available: e.g. <http://stats.distributed.net/> I guess the server is down ATM: cURL returns the following: * About to connect() to stats.distributed.net port 80 * Connect failed * Closing connection #0 curl: (7) Connect failed Nothing special... but if you go to a non-existent domain: e.g. <http://www.netsurffoo.org> and then reload the first webpage (<http://stats.distributed.net/>), then the domain name of the non-exitent domain appears in the reply: i.e. 'Could not resolve host: www.netsurffoo.org (Domain name not found)' Could this be fixed? TIA Stefaan -- Stefaan Claes, Hove, Antwerpen, Belgium, Europe, <sclaes(a)riscosusers.be>

[Netsurf-develop] Updated libraries

by James Bursa

I have updated the compiler and libraries on the NetSurf builder to the latest versions. This fixes a few bugs: - files in the root of a disc with an extension not loading - a server sending no headers causing a crash (recent thread "disappears from desktop & icon bar", and earlier reports) - the speed loss that occurred in June Unfortunately the new version of libxml has caused the rendering of some sites to change. We'll try and fix this soon. Developers: the new libraries used by the autobuilder are at http://netsurf.strcprstskrzkrk.co.uk/developer/ Please test and report bugs (except the rendering one, which causes extra space to appear on pages). Thanks! James

[Netsurf-develop] (no subject)

by John McCartney

When I visited this link http://www.telewest.co.uk/html/television/teleport/inyourarea.htm the writable field was much smaller than the cursor. The field contained the text "enter FULL postcode" which would normally disappear when the cursor is clicked in it. It didn't do this, nor did it respond to <ctrl>U. After much faffing about, I clicked where I thought the cursor should be in the field, typed in my postcode blind, clicked "Go" and, thankfully, it made the link to the next page. Any idea what's going on and if it can be fixed? Thanks and keep up the good work. -- John McCartney j.mccartney(a)blueyonder.co.uk
