Paul I wish emacs-w3m grokked frames. w3m itself supports -F, but that does not seem to have any effect on emacs-w3m. Kai
RE: Feedback needed on w3m support
I had this same problem; we solved it by configuring JDEE to create the temporary pages in a directory relative to the user's home, something like ~/tmp, instead of the default /tmp.

There was a thread about this last week. The problem is a double slash between the host part and filename part of the URL. A patch was posted, which I think will break things on Windows, since it replaced //localhost/ with //. I think a better solution is to look at the filename, and if it starts with a slash (Unix), use //localhost or //, and if it doesn't (Windows), then use //localhost/ or ///.

Hi Paul, Paul Kinnucan [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Several days ago I submitted a fix to CVS for problem 1. That fix uses the intermediate file only if browse-url-browser-function is set to browse-url-default-windows-browser, i.e., Internet Explorer. The problem with that fix is that it disables the frames mode display for all other browsers. As I happen to like the frames mode display, I intend to back this fix out of CVS. What about using the method with the intermediate file when ,[ C-h v jde-help-use-frames RET ] | jde-help-use-frames's value is nil | | A non-nil value makes the functions:`jde-help-symbol', | `jde-help-class-member' and `jde-help-class' use frames when displaying | the html javadocs. ` is t and use the direct url otherwise? Since the intermediate file is only needed for frames and w3m doesn't do frames, this seems like a reasonable approach. Another way to differentiate behavior based on the url is to use the regexp match functionality of browse-url-browser-function: ,[ C-h v browse-url-browser-function RET ] | browse-url-browser-function's value is | ((jde_meta . browse-url-mozilla) | (file:/// . w3m-browse-other-window) | (.* . w3m-browse-url)) | | *Function to display the current buffer in a WWW browser. | This is used by the `browse-url-at-point', `browse-url-at-mouse', and | `browse-url-of-file' commands. | | If the value is not a function it should be a list of pairs | (REGEXP . FUNCTION). In this case the function called will be the one | associated with the first REGEXP which matches the current URL. The | function is passed the URL and any other args of `browse-url'. The last | regexp should probably be . to specify a default browser. ` I do not know whether this is available in a non-CVS browse-url package, though. Ole -- Ole Arndt http://www.sugarshark.com
