Hi guys -- Sorry for the delay in responding to this thread. Thanks for sharing your questions and concerns about web slices. As you noted, the link with rel="feedurl" allows you to define an alternative page that will be used to detect updates; note that any active content on that page (e.g. JavaScript, Flash, .) will be stripped out (same way as RSS engines work). In your case, I would guess you are doing some transformation of the content on the client using JS; the web slice engine - not knowing of that JS - will try to process your HTML5 elements and crash, showing the message that you saw.
The solution to your issue is to use the 'rich architecture' of the web slices: an alternative *update* page will serve updates, while an alternative *display* page will serve the content (that can be anything you would render normally in IE8). . On your discovery page, you can still use a link with rel="feedurl" . On your update page, you will need to use a link with rel="entry-content" pointing to the page with the content You can find an example of this architecture here: http://blogs.msdn.com/giorgio/archive/2009/06/28/ie8-web-slice-and-silverlight-imagine-cup.aspx Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need additional information. -Karsten -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Martin McEvoy Sent: Sunday, November 15, 2009 4:58 AM To: [email protected]; Microformats Discuss Subject: Re: [uf-discuss] question regarding webslices Hello André André Luís wrote: > Hello all, > > first of all, yes, I know webslices are a feature on a browser from a > corporation, but since they are 99% hatom, this is the best place I > can think of to ask for help. > (the remaining 1% is a huge mess, btw) > > Has anyone been successful at implementing webslices? > I have had some success.... > - If so, what was the doctype of the document? > It doesnt seem to matter ... > - did you run into any troubles w/ mime types? > No ..... > - do you know what might be causing the slice to show an error > message along the lines of "Can't render the content?" or simply > CSS-less content? > > I'm using a rel="feedurl" to specify a page from which the browser > should get the updates. ahh this is where we differ I use @rel="default-slice" like this example from my home page : <link rel="default-slice" type="application/x-hatom" href="http://weborganics.co.uk/#slice"/> > That page is different. I just print the > portion of the webslice there. From what I can tell the web slice has to be on the *same page* for you to be able to subscribe to it. I didn't do much to implement web slices all I did was add a "hslice" to my "hentry", added an ID and linked to It using the auto discovery link I described above. If you have an example....? then I will be more than happy to take a look ;) Best Wishes -- Martin McEvoy WebOrganics http://weborganics.co.uk/ Add to address book: http://transformr.co.uk/hcard/http://weborganics.co.uk/ _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
