Re: [whatwg] Suggestion of an alternative TCPConnection implementation

2008-06-19 Thread Kristof Zelechovski
Correct me if I am wrong: no two-way TCP daemon like telnet, ssh, POP3, NNTP or IMAP allows reconnecting to an existing session when the connection drops and for UDP daemons this question is moot because the connection never drops although it can occasionally fail. Why should a custom connection

Safari already uses a transparent background by default and to me that doesn't seem like a bad idea -- it may be best to hide small 1px letterboxes due to rounding errors in aspect ratio calculation etc. Setting background-color:transparent to override the default black is probably less known to

I fail to see how virtual hosting will work for this anyway. I mean we're not talking about Apache/IIS here, we're talking about custom applications, scripts or devices - possibly implemented in firmware or a few lines of perl. Adding vhost control to the protocol is just silly since the

[whatwg] What should the value attribute be for multi-file upload controls in WF2?

2008-06-19 Thread Adele Peterson
Hi all, I'm looking at the Web Forms 2 specification for the multi-file upload control that uses the min/max attributes. When multiple files are selected, its unclear what the value attribute should contain. It could contain just the first filename, or a comma separated list of all of

I think it should be a select box containing each file name and perhaps an icon, and when you select a file - it asks you if you want to remove the file from the upload queue. Frode 2008/6/19 Adele Peterson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi all, I'm looking at the Web Forms 2 specification for the

I think we should have both a pure TCPSocket, and also a ServerSocket that keeps the same connection as the original document was downloaded from. The ServerSocket will make it very easy for web developers to work with, since the ServerSocket object will be available both from the server side

Sorry for misunderstanding. Ofcourse it is up to the user agent to decide the appearance. If the value attribute should be accessible from script, then I would wish it was an array when accessed from script. If it must be a string, then I think it the control itself should contain multiple input
