"Warning from Netsurf"
by Jim Nagel
I have just seen an error message of a sort I've never seen before:
Warning from Netsurf
(that's the title bar of the RiscOS panel)
WARNING !!! Your browser is too old and will not display the
page optimally !
(screechmarks are spaced exactly like that)
The only action button provided is "Continue"
This warning popped up when I tried to visit
www.cordless-phones.uk.com/cordless-phones/cordlessphones-answering-machi...
I inspected the HTML source of this page and can't see anything to
generate such a warning from the browser. It's repeatable.
So I'm curious:
1. By what process was this message generated?
2. Is it indeed Netsurf that generates the message? If so, it's
ironic that I'm using a very recent build, Netsurf #2124.
3. Why is the error message not recorded by Syslog?
The display of the page, by the way, seemed OK despite the warning.
(Anyway, it was good enough to tell me what I wanted to find out about
the cordless phone in question.)
Using Iyonix with OS 5.18.

Date stamps on resources such as !Cache
by Andrew Pinder
I've previously reported that I've experienced problems at boot with
!Cache on my ARMini (RO5.20). I've therefore installed it in
Utilities.Caution and have got a work-round that stops the problems.
I've just downloaded NetSurf build #2123 dated 25 Sep. The copy of
!Cache in the !Boot.Resources directory has a date stamp of 16 Sep
2014. It appears to be identical to the version I have installed
dated 09 June 2014.
I will be happy to install an updated version of !Cache, especially if
the problem I have happens to be solved. In the meantime I would
appreciate it if the datestamps could be preserved so it doesn't
appear to be updated.
Regards
Andrew

It _isn't_ necessary, when using StongED to view the HTML source. Press
f8 to view the source, select the URL, press ctrl-shft-c to copy it to
the clipboard, click in the NS URL field (or Open URL window), press
ctrl-v to paste the URL. Perhaps I've misunderstood the problem?

Why is NetSurf so fussy?
by Richard Porter
One really annoying feature of NetSurf (RO front end) is that it won't
let you paste text from an html file into the URL field. This is
something I regularly want to do when, for example, there's a bit of
Javascript that redirects me to a different page. I have to view the
source and then change the filetype to Text before copying the new URL
to the clipboard. This shouldn't be necessary. I should be able to
past plain text copied from any file type (could be html, css, csv,
ImpDoc, MSWord, etc.) into the URL field or "Open URL" window. I think
I raised this as a feature request a long time ago.
