Gone a little crazy
So, I went a little crazy this weekend and did a whole bunch of things: * camping.io now renders properly in Chrome (yay! why didn't anyone tell me this was broken? evolving web standards are annoying!) * I tidied up some issues and commented on heaps of things on https://github.com/camping/camping/issues * I patched a readme to not talk about features we removed from The Camping Server * I created extensive documentation for chill - my couchdb abstraction. http://creativepony.com/chill/rdoc/ChillDB.html * I added bulk commit and delete support to chill - which should improve performance quite a bit * I added ruby views support to chill - but I haven't tested this yet. All these things seem vaguely related to camping (at least to me). Lets talk about the website! — Jenna ___ Camping-list mailing list Camping-list@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/camping-list

Yeah I'm not even going to attempt that one. Opera is way out of my league. If you know how to fix it, I'd love the help, otherwise I'm all for opera's plan to pretend to be webkit. Maybe there's some way we can detect it and show opera a simpler website? — Jenna On Sunday, 29 April 2012 at 9:04 PM, Bartosz Dziewoński wrote: camping.io (http://camping.io) is still badly broken for me on Opera 11.62, Windows XP.

Re: Gone a little crazy
The fonts don't display because Opera sucks balls when it comes to
text-transform.
I have ran into problems with it before (when dynamically changing
.style.textTransform of an input field, the text displayed is not
updated - testcase:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10983006/textransformbug.html) and reported
them, and that was almost a year ago now, and is still not fixed.
Opera is pretty cool, but really sucks when it comes to handling bug
reports, eh.
You can work around this with a simple bit of JavaScript:
if(window.opera) // if you're feeling like it, you could maybe somehow
detect that the text is not shown correctly and check for this,
instead of just detecting Opera
{
var lst = document.querySelectorAll('h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6')
for(var i=0; ilst.length; i++) lst[i].firstChild.nodeValue =
lst[i].firstChild.nodeValue.toUpperCase()
}
(Or you could change the HTML source to use uppercase text, but I
guess you don't want to do that.)
(Or you could change the font files to use the same glyphs for upper-
and lower-case characters, but I guess that would require some work.)

Re: Gone a little crazy
Fixed url for Opera. As for text rendering, so long as it's readable, I don't
mind if it's ugly. Happy to let the Opera team fix Opera's bugs.

Well, the background doesn't display because the path to the
background image (paper.png) is given incorrectly...
-webkit-border-image: url(paper.png) 75 30 50 30 stretch stretch;
-moz-border-image: url(paper.png) 75 30 50 30 stretch stretch;
-o-border-image: url(http://whywentcamping.com/img/paper.png;) 75
30 50 30 stretch stretch;
You should also ensure that the text is at least readable without the
background - a rule like #subwrap*{background-color:beige} will do
the trick (although will hide the fine texture of paper.png - to avoid
this, create another small image to set as background to #subwrap*
containing just the texture).
I don't know why the fonts don't display, but I'll try looking into it.
