 1.Print Preview,as good as it is NS4.xx
 2.Hovering with mouse over an e-mail summary title.I have had to open
 some e-mail which should have been deleted
 3.Where is one to find directions to some features which come up,once in

Re: tooltip for image-alt-value

2001-12-03 Thread Sören Kuklau

The W3C forbids the usage of the alt attributes for tooltips. The alt
attribute (alternative) is for browsers that have image display disabled,
that can't load the image, or that cannot display images.

Use the title attribute which is for displaying additional explaining text.

Re: Odd Checkmarks in latest nightlies

Re: Recent Nightly destroyed my Bookmarks Separator Lines - Please Help

2001-12-08 Thread Sören Kuklau

The cause is, as Neil guessed, the landing of the remake of the bookmarks
into an outliner. By using nightlies, you have this risk, and Mozilla is a
development browser anyways, not a final, solid, stable product (at least as
of yet).

In 2001120703, the trouble with the seperators got fixed for me. My trouble
was btw that there were four or five seperators on top of each other... all
a bit messed up. But as said, for me, it's fixed now.

 On the absolute contrary my Deutchlander friend,

Oh you guessed right, I'm from Germany. Now what?

 I *desperately* want to use Mozilla, at least the newsreader.

Hmm...

 I and the rest of the world can clearly see that Mozilla's browser can
never approach the usability,
 stability, and quality of IE6,

No? It can't? Why not?

 but there still is no real subsitute to NS 4.7x's newsreader.  And NS
4.7x's newsreader is very long in the tooth.  I had such high hopes that
Mozilla's would be so
 much better than 4.7x's  After disappointment heaped upon
disappoinment, I no longer hope.  It's clear the whole of Mozilla will never
be anything more than a
 rickety old pig, not worthy of running the same race with it's forefather,
let alone other offerings.

Well... then you needn't follow the discussion any longer, or do you?

 Oh look, I just right-clicked in 4.7x's email composer.  Guess what I
 saw - yep, a CONTEXT MENU!  Undo, copy, cut, paste... they're all there!

Well... there's the Edit menu where all these are also there. And I guess
they'll soon also be available via context menu.

  Your comments are uncalled for, not helping, and just plainly annoying.
To

 My comments are right on the mark, since nobody seems to realize what a
 horrific state this project is in.

Maybe nobody seems to realize it because it's simply not true?

 Has been in since inception.  They are intended to be annoying enough that
somebody will take ten minutes
 and correct a gross defect such as no context menu and then I'll have
 nothing to bitch about.  I gave up trying to help directly (as in

 As I was reading your message I kept wondering why all the quoting was

I was too lazy to wrap it properly because I was actually fed up with Mister

 Have you tried mozilla mailnews recently? They are much better than they

 Outlook Express has so many bugs, especially in the editor... even
 Mozillas old Mailstones were superior in that area. Look at your
 posting... the horrible line-wrapping... that's Outlook Express in action.
 Try Morver/Korrenews to correct most of OE's technical problems (MIME,
 line wrapping,...): http://home.t-online.de/home/werner.jakobi/

 and also check out Outlook tools: http://www.oe-tools.de.vu
 (enables colored quoting in OE, among other things).

I'm well aware of the fact that Outlook Express is very buggy. It's still
convenient for me, maybe just because

- I'm used to it
- it works (which _is_ special on Windows, at least for me ;-) )
- MozillaMail can import Outlook Express

I will try out MozillaMail at least in every new milestone, if not in some
nightlies.

 It's my impression that 6.5 will be based on 1.0.  There might be a 6.3
 release off of 0.9.8, but I suspect most of the usual branch-stabilizing
 work will be occurring on the trunk at that time, and there's little
 reason to release another version before 6.5.

Because the point of the creator codes is to have them equal for _one_
application. Netscape 6 is, by the name (!), a new version of Netscape. So
Commun. 4.x and Netsc. 6 have the same creator code. Netscape _should_ leave
the same code.

 The Type/Creator code system is not such a bad idea. remember you have 4
 places in creator code and Type code. You can concevieably use any of
 the 26 letters in the alphabet in each place. I hope my math is right
 but the are 26 to the fourth power different combinations in each. so
 there are almost infinite possibilities.

Actually, it's a lot more since each letter is case _sensitive_.

 You do have to remember though that the 26^4 possibility is just for the
 Type Code or the Creator code by itself. If you consider both together
 that means that there are 26^4 permutations for the Type Code and 26^4
 permutations for creator code.

 how about the three letter extension system in DOS/windows that's only
26^3.

No, it isn't any more. Its length is no longer limited since windows 95. See
extensions like .theme, .mstheme and .manifest.

But it's case insensitive, which the mac system isn't (which makes it not
26^4, but 52^4 or so).

 I am beginning to wonder what's so difficult about making more
 themes available for this browser

The theme code is still rewritten from time to time, so it makes no sense to
write lots of themes - they won't work in further versions. The XUL API has
yet to freeze.

 and what's so hard about fixing print preview,

Easy: That's low priority.

 and fixing the sorting of History (retaining it),

Same.

 and maybe whether it points to Mozilla being poorly written code that is
hard to fix without causing other problems.

I doubt it, but can't comment on it as I don't know its source code. I'm no
C programmer either.

 Also, why does it take like 30 seconds to a minute to load any Java stuff
on most pages?

That's Sun's fault, not Mozilla's. Their plug-in seems to be kinda slowish.

And why is it when I scroll down a page like the Wall Street Journal, that
it takes a full second pause between each screen as I am paging downward or
upward?
  www.wsj.com (need to be subscriber)

I'm no subscriber so I can't test it. Maybe too much DHTML usage?

 I cannot offhand think of another website that behaves like that but there
are plenty.  Why has my Realplayer worked on certain pages before, but no
longer
 works despite the fact that I've left the plugins folder untouched as I
keep trying the new builds?

Could you be more specific: when did it work, since when doesn't it any
longer?

 I try most every build as they come down the pike and these issues
stay the same.
 Anyone else getting annoyed by problems like this?

No. Not these. And look at the version number, we're still 4 months away
from final 1.0.

 Two things:

 1.  Regardless of what people are telling you, it's not a standards
 battle.  Mozilla is so poorly written that it simply dies on most pages
 regardless of their standardness, and the further outside the lines
 the page is, the wackier Mozilla gets.
 2.  I want all nations of the world to speak English.  But not just
 English, the specific dialect of English that I do.  That way I don't
 have to go to the trouble of learning all those other languages, nor the
 idioms of all the different English dialects.  How much chance do you
 think I have of getting that to happen?  Right, about as much chance as
 Mozilla has of getting a DTD on everybody's pages.  Including their own

 (1) Am I right in thinking that there is nothing that Moz could ever do to
 correct the bad sniffing problem?  In other words, if a site sends stuff
 that is obviously intended for NS is there simply no way that Moz could
 default to NS behaviour - not even with a whole lot of extra code? I am
 asking a theoretical question here, not necessarily a practical one.

Well, if Mozilla supported the things NS did support, it would work. But
_practically_, that won't happen.

 (2)  What is bad about layers?  Are they in some sense dangerous (which
 seems unlikely to me, but maybe I am wrong), or do they simply offend some
 programming paradigm? Why, in other words, is it (apparently) an article
 of faith that Moz will never support them?  Could they not be supported
 with a warning, or optionally supported, or any damn thing that keeps me
 from having to fire up a different browser?

One of Mozilla's (the new one / Seamonkey, not MozillaClassic) most
important aims is standards compliance. Netscape 4's layer tag never made
it to any standard and never will either because there are better things.

 I just don't think that we can teach the world how to be.

No, we can't. But we can try to make a difference.

 This is the heart of the matter.

Yes, it is.

 I think that most of use here would accept that we are engaged in a
conflict with M$.

Concerning operating systems, there's Mac OS and Linux against M$'s Windows.
Concerning browsers, there's Mozila, Opera, and so on against the Internet
Explorer. Many use these alternatives not because they don't like the way
Internet Explorer is, but mainly because they hate M$. So yes, you might
call this a conflict. Maybe even a battle.

 Where we differ is as to tactics in this part of the battlefield.  From
the perspective of a linux user I feel that I have enough difficulties
weaning people away from
 Windows without needing to explain to them the importance of this battle
at the same time.  I am quite happy, as it were, to dress up as the enemy
 (if that is what being non-standard involves), if that is what is needed
at this time to give me the enormously powerful weapon of a browser that
 can, from a user's perspective, do anything IE can do.  I can appreciate
that your point of view may be different.

And I appreciate that people like you have another point of view. It's a
tough matter, and I think a similar thing was in mid-98, when Apple
introduced the iMac. It had no floppy drive, no SCSI, no ADB, and so on -
before that, every Mac had it, and literally nobody wanted one to be without
it. With this radical movement, Apple could move quite a lot of people -
fortunately involving many hardware manufacturers too - to USB, which was
introduced by iMac as a replacement for ADB and low-speed SCSI devices. They
could have as well brought iMac _with_ these legacy interfaces, and
provided a note in the manual Usage of floppy drives is no longer
recommended. - but people would have laughed at that and said oh well, but
what if I still use it, hmm?.

Now, the legacy interfaces are things like Netscape 4's layer tag, and
the new replacement would be the standards compliant div. Mozilla does the
radical way just like Apple did back then, and so far isn't really that
successful. It'll take quite a lot of time. mozilla.org has a Tech
Evangelism team which talks with owners of huge sites like those you've
mentioned, and tries to convince them to make their sites more standards
compliant - and thus more compatible to Gecko-based browsers like Mozilla,
Netscape 6, K-Meleon, and so on.

Whether that's true or not, this behaviour would be pathetic. There are lots

IE 6 should have a new string starting with Mozilla/5.0 (compatible), or

 Well, that seems an excellent analogy Soren,

Yes, me too. It's an important task, and difficult too.

 I am on their side.  Even so, I am lucky enough to be able to pay for my
software
 if I need to - I support open source because it is better not because it
 is cheaper - and I would willingly pay top dollar for a linux Moz-like
 browser that could render anything the web could throw at it.

I doubt that's going to happen. Mozilla happened mainly due to funding
from AOL TimeWarner (through Netscape), Redhat and others. Same goes to most
other open-source software - there has to be some money here and there. (for
instance: Konqueror = part of KDE = funding through SuSE, Mandrake, etc.
to my knowledge)

So, it would need to be an organisation with at least as much finance as
Mozilla.org and with the aim to even surpass Mozilla's Gecko / NGLayout
engine. Highly unlikely.

What can be done is to use the engine but not use other stuff like XUL,
XPFE, etc. which some consider bloat. The result would be products like
K-Meleon and Galeon, which do have its advantages too.

In the long term, the idea of Mozilla to be as standards compliant as
possible and to try to ignore non-standard stuff will hopefully succeed and
be copied by Opera, Konqueror, iCab, others, and - gasp! - Internet
Explorer.

NewZilla

2002-01-06 Thread Sören Kuklau

Is there any chance that NewZilla gets updated again? (last updated June
14th, 2001) I considered it a useful ressource for Newbies to Netscape 6 and
Mozilla. I think a FAQ like that is needed. We have two news sites -
mozillazine and mozillanews - , but I think we also need sites with
comprehensive general information. Finished FAQs such as the spellchecker
one ( http://www.mozilla.org.uk/docs/spell-checker-faq.html ) should be
integrated into the site. Also, this site should collect themes, splash
screens, icon sets and similar stuff.

Anyone agree that such a site would be useful?

 Used to daily, until 0.9.7 came out.  Ever since 0.9.7, the mozilla linux
 build is broken for me under linux on redhat, suse, and mandrake on two
 different computers, so I've determined it is *NOT* my setup.

 So I'm on 0.9.6 until the linux issues are fixed.

 Specifically, after first run, I lose all text in the button bars (back,
 forward, etc), and no context menus work at all (get a little ~4x4 pixel
 square where the damned menu should be.

 What the hell?

Re: Problem with personal toolbar + small window width in latest builds

2002-01-06 Thread Sören Kuklau

That did happen for me on the 01-05 build which you also seem to be using
(on a different platform though).

As that build also crashed on preferences window opening, I went back to
01-04 and all was fine.

 I noticed this (pretty serious, imho) bug with today's and yesterday's
 builds on Linux.

 When the browser window is resized so that its width is smaller than the
 width of all the icons and stuff on the personal toolbar, the scrollbar on
 the right is not visible and the page doesn't wrap properly. (Other things
 such as the throbber and the padlock icon also disappear.)

 Screenshot to clarify:
 http://www.iki.fi/jonik/moz1.png

 When the personal toolbar is hidden, there's no problem:
 http://www.iki.fi/jonik/moz2.png

 Also reproduced this with a clean profile... (Initially the personal
toolbar
 only has a few items, so you need to make the window really small.)

 I couldn't find this in bugzilla. Does anyone know a bug# or any other
 relevant information..?

 dude chill. It would be the site that was annoying you, not the browser.
   Feel free not to visit sites that annoy you...I don't care.
 It's used for many other things, emulating a user click is a very handy
 shortcut for a lot of situations, like innerHTML.

innerHTML to my knowledge is yet another proprietary Microsoft thing.

 It's just really handy for styling the file input widget, which only IE is
able to style at
 all.

If it doesn't work in Mozilla, then it's probably not in any standard. So IE
shouldn't be able to do it either.

 Mozilla gives the developer no control over it at all.

It shouldn't.

 The reason most sites look horrible in Netscape 4.x these days is
 because developers were not given the power the IE gave them, so they
 stopped developing for it. Probably because someone was afraid a feature
 would annoy some nit-picker *cough*.

If you call strict standards _non_-compliance power...

Actually, Netscape 4 is from mid-97, so you can hardly compare it with a
recent IE.






Re: Style-sheets no longer working with 0.9.7

2002-01-13 Thread Sören Kuklau

 When a page using a strict document type declaration (e.g. HTML 4.01
Strict) links to an external style sheet (using link, @import, etc)
Mozilla will load the style sheet only if it is served with a MIME type of
text/css. Style sheets served with other MIME types, like text/plain,
application/x-pointplus, etc. will not be loaded. To add the proper css mime
type to an Apache web servers, add text/css css to the system mime.types
file. Or if you can't do that, add AddType text/css .css to your .htaccess
file. 

It was intentionally implemented.

 If, you take the second quoted portion out of the DOCTYPE statement, the

 Excellent. A good set of FAQs for Mozilla would be a great resource.

 My tip would be to collect the data first (in a plain text file, or
 whatever) and worry about the markup later; because www.mozilla.org is
 evolving at the moment, things may change.

That's exactly what I'll be doing - except in simple HTML (XHTML 1.1 with a

One day I must learn how to use query.cgi. Took me an hour to find that.

 You *DO* realize that hyatt turned this off by default, don't you?

Only for now, because it's instable.

 Or to hear the truth apparently.

Truth's out there eh?

Sounds like you wanna become Priest (sp?).

 so would you please hold it now.

 You heard Jonas: April 5, 2002.  Think it'll be soup by then?

I love to eat chicken soup. Won't have any problem with it being that. 
How does lizard soup taste, anyways?

 Pope actually.

Pope Jay Tee Kay the twenty-seventh?

 Kinda under-done, regardless of how long you cook it.

 Dear all,
 
 Have a brief search on the net about the support of JPEG push

 It's been almost a year after that e-mail and I'm wondering if 
 there's any plan for push JPEG support.
 
 Thanks.
 
 
 Pigeon.
 

I've found a bug about it: 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMEDbug_status=NEWbug_status=ASSIGNEDbug_status=REOPENEDfield0-0-0=producttype0-0-0=substringvalue0-0-0=JPEGfield0-0-1=componenttype0-0-1=substringvalue0-0-1=JPEGfield0-0-2=short_desctype0-0-2=substringvalue0-0-2=JPEGfield0-0-3=status_whiteboardtype0-0-3=substringvalue0-0-3=JPEGfield1-0-0=producttype1-0-0=substringvalue1-0-0=Pushfield1-0-1=componenttype1-0-1=substringvalue1-0-1=Pushfield1-0-2=short_desctype1-0-2=substringvalue1-0-2=Pushfield1-0-3=status_whiteboardtype1-0-3=substringvalue1-0-3=Push

So there seems to be _some_ kind of support for it - but I've never 
really heard of JPEG Push. What is it?

 Even mozilla doesn't get it right.  I usually get the page all 
 squished to the left or the sidebar is missing.  It's different every 
 time.  I have to keep hitting reload until it fixes itself.  Build 
 2002011803.

 What they should have done was tested these changes offline and when 
 they got them working, then upload them.


 try one, if you run Moz on windows, kill all the mozilla.org and 
 mozilla registry keys, use a new build directory and a new profile 
 also.. you maybe seeing buggy sideeffect problems.
 
 
 MozillaZine is the only site it's happening on and other people in the 
 forums are having the same problem.

Yup, this happens from time to time on MozillaZine. Definitly a Mozilla 
bug. Maybe the MozillaZine CSS should be simplified or so too though.
