I've just checked again and, here too, there is no black background.
Most odd - I couldn't have imagined it!

As you say, a most useful reference. Strangely I have no black background
problems here with build 3.3 (Dev CI #2193) if JavaScript is disabled. If
JS is enabled the page doesn't render at all.

Now that is really useful. Many thanks.

Searching for an explanation of the various parameters led me to
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/ This has a
black background, but can be read easily in NetSurf, by pressing ctrl-a
to select all.

Maps

2014-10-22 Thread Michael Drake


Since NetSurf doesn't have enough JavaScript support to use Google
Maps, I've added a simple front end to the Google Static Maps API.

You can have a go with this if you visit:

  about:maps

in the latest NetSurf development build.

google maps

2010-03-16 Thread Tony Moore
Until not long ago, using NetSurf (09 Jan 2010 00:15) r9799 to visit
http://maps.google.com/?output=html&oi=nojs enabled maps to be accessed.

Now, when I visit that link, shortly after the page is displayed,
NetSurf downloads a 'text' file named 'm' (which is actually a wml file
containing various Google links). Disregarding the spurious download,
entering a placename in the search-box and clicking 'Search maps' leads
to a page containing a writable icon, at top left, and nothing else
(formerly, it led to a page displaying a map).

Can anyone please confirm this problem. If so, does anyone know of a
link to Google Maps which still works?

re: google maps

2009-05-19 Thread M.I. Abdullah
Hi all
No joy with Google Maps or with MultiMaps.
Checked the various modules as follows:
URI: v 104 OK
Tinct: v 0.13 OK
Iconv: v 0.10 (29 Nov 08) OK
Shared U Lib newest OK

However using the newest Unicode NS does not load giving the error
message: 
using earlier version of Unicode (ca. 273 KB soze) NS load and works OK
but nodisplay of maps.
I have a feeling something is missing but have no idea what it might be.
Very grateful for any suggestion.

Best regards

I'm afraid its the old problem - Javascript or lack of it :-(

I understand that the Google are releasing money to a programming team
to undertake the preparation for Javascript implementation in NetSurf
- this has got to be good news.
