Bank of Scotlan/Halifax
by Brian
Hi
Oops, originally wrote this email/post via my mobile phone and the
outcome is all gobbled???
So will post again via computer.
Basically up until recently accessing the Halifax/Bank of Scotland was
not at all accessible via Netsurf.Then only a couple of weeks ago
since they had a revamp of the site the whole thing was totally
useable with Netsurf, which was great.
However, today have found that after logging in on the second stage
the continue button has disappeared, thus cannot progress beyond that.
A real shame.
Regards.
Brian

Hello
Tried to log on today but noticed on the second log in page after the drop down menus the continue button has gone! It's a shame as recently it was the first time the whole site has been accessible via Netsurf. Prior had to use Firebox, or via a PC.
Regards
Brian

r12925 loads and displays a local copy of the NetSurf builds page which I
download for parsing for the latest version number for use in a scripted
download process.
Versions certainly from r12938 (possibly earlier) give a fatal error for
the same file.

Hi Dave,
Is it giving you the mobile site? I have just used it and that is what
it did. Previously my saved login page was for the mobile site but after
entering the password the rest was as normal. I have been away so my
version of NS is r12793. Haven't tried the latest release.

Thanks Geoff, that did the trick.
I've just been clickin the same button I've been using on the first login
page for years, now suddenly the (Illegitimates) change it for mobiles.
Anyway, sorted now.
Dave
I really can't see why any sane person would want to use a mobile phone to
do anything network related.
I have a Smartphone that's got more whistles and bells than the command
deck of the USS Enterprise, but after trying out all this w&b stuff when I
first got it, I've given up, the tedium of waiting for web pages to
display on a mobile phone is worse than waiting for paint to dry.
Now I just use it for (Shock horror) phoning, texts and MMS, the rest is
just a waste of my life.
Ooer! went of on one there... ;-)

I finally succumbed to a smart phone (HTC Desire) about a year ago
and have never regretted it. Admittedly, most of my browsing on it
is done via wi-fi rather than 3G, and on the occasions I've used 3G
I've found its coverage rather patchy. Nevertheless I'd rather have
it than not. Occasionally it's saved me money by being able to
compare prices for stuff that we were looking at buying.

That was fixed, but now, with r12948, local files don't load at all, giving
the error:
Error 404 while fetching file file:///ADFS
Presumably Vince's 'make nsurl__create_from_section correctly escape
characters as per RFC3986' didn't work as intended.

I use a cgi-bin program to anti-spam links in my www site.
This program works fine with Chrome, but with Netsurf returns an error
"BadType".
Is this a bug?

Confirmed here. Have you raised a bug report, or will I do that?
With best wishes,

<pre> formatting broken
by cj
It looks as if text within <pre> </pre> tags is no longer formatted
correctly. Implicit line feeds are no longer honoured, so any
multiline text comes out as a mess. Using r12932, but r12923 is also
broken. r12898 is all right, so it has happened within the last day
or so.

Break tags in full save pages
by cj
I have just noticed while comparing the rendering of 'live' pages
with the same page when rendered locally after a full save that the
tag <br />, which is rendered as a single line feed, is converted to
the tag pair <br></br> in the full saved page, which is then rendered
as two line feeds.
On the other hand, the menu option Page->Save, rather than the
Page->Full save, retains the tag <br />.

Invisible content
by Harriet Bazley
What makes the content of this web page http://nuclearinfo.org/view/item/a2156
(which is allegedly W3C checked, and doesn't seem to have any serious
syntax errors reported when you test it there) invisible on NetSurf when
you view the page on their servers, but visible if you save the HTML and
double-click on it locally? (CSS, presumably?)
