Nsational Rail Enquiries
by Roger Darlington
Using Nat Rail Enquiries:
http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/
Typing in a known 'From' station and 'To' station names, then changing
the words of 'Today' to 'Tomorrow' and put a time in, then press 'go'
It returns an error saying 'return journey cannot be before starting
journey!
Apart from fiddling about altering the two 'Todays' that then become
visible after this error, is there a way of circumventing this by a
small change in the Netsurf program? Or is it far too difficult at
this stage of development?

Speed
by Richard Porter
The NetSurf web site says:
"Efficiency lies at the heart of the NetSurf engine, allowing it to
outwit the heavyweights of the web browser world. The NetSurf team
continue to squeeze more speed out of their code."
I've been doing one or two comparisons on a 300MHz Kinetic RiscPC
running OS 6.16.
Test 1 - following a link to near the bottom of a thumbnail index.
Fresco 2.13 15s
Oregano 1.10 17s
Netsurf r11515 28s
Test 2 - following a link to the latest forum post from the "top 10"
latest posts page.
Fresco 4s (when it worked properly)
Oregano 6s
Netsurf 17s
Now obviously there's a big advantage in coding in assembler for a
specific processor family rather than using C and making the code
portable, but the main reason seems to be that NetSurf is trying to
reformat the whole page over and over again, taking note of dimensions
only after the images have been downloaded. The other browsers do a
quick format observing dimensions where given, download the images and
then reformat if necessary. Oregano seems to fill in the visible part
of the window first which is a nice feature, but in the above tests I
waited for the page to finish downloading.

Without Haru it compiles perfect. Can you put this DIFF in the Source? For
other Fedora guys?

I'd try to build netsurf like the documentation for Fedora with all the
Dependencies build.
It was not possible to compile the Source without Errors:
This is the result:

Invisible text
by Richard Porter
I've recently come across two examples where text is invisible because
it is the same colour as the background.
The first is http://www.robinhoodpub.co.uk/ then click on the "Eat"
icon. This loads menu1.htm into an iframe in a table cell.
The table has class Background2 which doesn't specify a colour:
.Background2 {
background-image: url(images/graphics/brickmakers.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
}
The main body is class Colour1 which is grey:
.Colour1 {
background-color: #999999;
}
<body class="Colour3">
.Colour3 {
background-color: transparent;
}
Then the menu items are white e.g.:
<p align="center" class="Body1">Homemade Soup of the Day
<br></br>
<strong>£4.95</strong></p>
.Body1 {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-weight: normal;
}
The problem seems to be that NetSurf has given the iframe a white
background and ignored the transparency. The background image is
present surrounding the iframe.
The second example is different. In
http://www.bridgeaudio.co.uk/micsprices.htm .
This is crap html generated by Lotus Word Pro.
<BODY BGCOLOR="orange">
<FONT FACE = "Arial">
<FONT COLOR = "Yellow">
<body bgcolor="Orange" link="Orange" vlink="Orange">
...
<TABLE ALIGN=CENTER BORDER =8 CELLSPACING=4 CELLPADDING=4 WIDTH=100%>
<TR ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=TOP>
<TD BGCOLOR = "Yellow" ><B><H2>AKG HANDHELD MICROPHONES</TD>
</TABLE>
Anyway there's a 'presentational hint' that the default text colour
should be yellow. The table cells have a background colour which is
also yellow. Other browsers default the text colour inside the table
cells to black so the text shows up.
Before I raise a bug report is this behaviour correct, incorrect or
unspecified?
