Page crashes Netsurf

crashes Netsurf. Not a normal crash: Netsurf simply evaporates. No log, no

Done so 3 times, so it's consistent here.

Badly formatting page

2009-06-17 Thread Richard Torrens (lists)
It's probably a crap html, but this page is very badly formatted by
NetSurf.

http://www.4pcb.com/index.php?load=contentpage_id=46

I suspect there are always going to be some bad pages - but they are
getting fewer!

 Seems to be a spare 0D in there. Seems to have been put in by NetSurf!

To answer? myself, it's not quite that simple. The email I had looked at
was the version in the List archives. The actual version I received was
fine.

The log saved by the form handler also had the 0Ds - so presumably it's a

Drag drop crashes

2011-05-12 Thread Richard Torrens (lists)
The latest Netsurfs seem very sensitive to something when I drag a text
from StrongED to a www form.

It happens as I am draging over the NS window, before I release the mouse.

Conceivably it's to do with mouse switch noise but I think not as it
occurs on an RPC as well as an Iyo.

I have put some logs at

 (ii) In Yahoo groups having JS on means that the navigation buttons don't

 (iii) On today's Guardian website has, with JS off, a grid of squares
 saying Link to slideshow 1. clicking on this produces the picture that

 there is a blank space on the page.

 This is with 740 on a rPC.

Similar effect with Streetmap.co.uk

This will probably be because only some JS is working as of yet - enough
that the site recognises JS to be present, but not enough to do the job
required.

I'm sure it will all get sorted in time, until then we must be patient -

 That's in RISC OS, and happens when the app doesn't take scroll events as
 quickly as you produce them.  See also scrolling via PageUp/Down.

The effect seems much less now than of old. Presumably Netsurf flushes the
buffer when it returns to look at the scroll wheel?

Then you go to a page which asks for j/s. Wait and you do automatically to

Raspberry-Pi B+ problem

2014-12-10 Thread Richard Torrens (lists)
I have a  problem running NetSurf on a R-Pi B+

It used to work. Then, one day, stopped running. I made no change to the
R-Pi at the time.

However the B+ appears to be extremely unreliable: Disc error keeps
being reported. Usually falsely - but sometimes ther is a corruption, so I
thin something may have been corrupted. But what?

I have had the SD card replaced, and th eR-Pi itself. I have also almost
entirely eliminated the power supply as a problem.

When I run Netsurf, it goes into a continuous hour-glassing loop.
alt-break stops it.

I have Reporter running: this gives me no clues. It reports
*Filer_run  !Netsurf.

Then after the Alt-Break, it lists a whole host of output, stopping at
 [Appl/0B2039C4] RMEnsure Iconv 0.04 Error 16_10F iconv support requires
the Iconv module 0.04 or newer
 ** WimpError ** from Window Manager
  Error  : 050DEAD0
  Message: Press Stop to terminate Unknown.

I have replaced Netsurf with a completely new update. No change. I have
replaced Iconv and several other modules. No joy!

So0 has anyone any idea of what is happening, or what I should do next?
It's the Unknown that's looping.

 What about the power supply cable?  Have you eliminated that too?

 Your problems look very much as if they are caused by low power supply
 voltage.  Can you measure what voltage appears within the RPi?

 Dave

I measured 5.16v, stable, on the expansion pins of the B+. It showed no
variation as thePi was used.

I also fitted a 3,000µF capacitor actoss these pins.

The extra capacitor had no perceptible effect.

So it certainly doesn't look like supply problems. Unless the voltage
tolerance on the supply is incredibly tight.

Netsurf was working for quite some time with no sign of any trouble.

 Can it be assumed that the 'whole host' corresponds to the Netsurf

Yes, exactly as the !Run file.

 The unknown may be the !Run obey file itself or Iconv trying to
 initialise.

I thought Iconv might be corrupt, replaced it. No change.

 The implication is that you haven't changed Netsurf or any of its
 support modules. 

a working NetSurf stopped working for no apparent reason. So I tred a
completely new one. It now has RunImage dated December 4th - I think
that's 2425.

 From the error message you are running a fairly old
 version. What actual versions are you running? What compatibility
 mode are you running the Pi in?

I have just tried all 3 modes. It makes no difference.

I also tried executing (via a StrongED task window) the !Run file step by
step. This gives a Window Manager is currently in use after
/NetSurf$Dir.KickNS
and after
Run NetSurf$Dir.!RunImage %*0 2Wimp$ScrapDir.WWW.NetSurf.Log

First is thrown back to the Task Window, second is a Wimp error Box.

Netsurf doesn't run, but machine does not freeze.

 Hi Richard,

 Not sure if the below will help but you could give them a try, even if 
 to eliminate from your enquiries.

 (1) On my R-Pi sometimes Netsurf gets stuck in a loop of redirecting 
 itself to its home page. Quitting Netsurf and deleting the folder:

 SDFS::16GbPi.$.!Boot.Resources.!Scrap.ScrapDirs.ScrapDir.WWW

 (or wherever the WWW folder resides in your !Boot folder)

 then restarting Netsurf cures it.

Excellent! Thanks.

I renamed SDFS::RISCOSpi.$.!Boot.Choices.WWW.NetSurf
to .NetSurfX

NetSurf then started fine
then I quit Netsurf and started moving the old files back.

The problem was a corrupted Hotlist in there. It was 7M and most of that
was junk looking very much like a memory dump.

The section immediately after the hotlist was a load of lines such as

(27736.96) render/html_object.c html_object_free_objects 651: object
0x67ea3858

which is clearly dumped from Netsurf.


Deleting all the junk after the final /ul of the hotlist proper, nothing
has been lost.

fail.

A task window is not opened: presumably this should only open when the

I have tried curl and wget. Neither does the job. Both do not open a task

both cause an error window to open sometime after firing up.

With wget, the error is Incorrectly formatted filename at line 24 but
what program is running is not stated and I have no idea where to look.

Later..
I have found that removing the Do from the line in !Run which reads:

TaskWindow Do Fetch_NS$App Fetch_NS$UrlLATEST Fetch_NS$Opt

allows the taskwindow to open. I'll keep probing.

NS has choices: 
Hide advertisements
Disable pop-up windows
Disable JavaScript

These, I would guess, tell it to ignore such content. It is then filtering
exactly as you seem to want!

So I guess you are asking for a throwback icon, to throw the source out to
an external editor, where it can be processed and returned back to NS?

This is perfectly possible within RISC OS. But I doubt that it is possible
in other OSes.

The first 3 links off that all contain

It did work fine and still does on Chrome - but there seems to be more
to it! I've just tried with earlier versions back to 3709 and none work. 

So I deleted Netsurf's cache - and it now works properly again!

Validation

I was trying to validate an html page using w3c validator. I could not!

The reason was that the page contains lots of links to Google searches
etc. e.g.

The validator complains about the & in there - it wants  but the link
with that in won't work.

So is this a fault in the validator - or something which should be
accomodated in NetSurf?

Pane srolling and searching

2017-11-08 Thread Richard Torrens (lists)
http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/c/F207018
is an odd page - it has 6 lists within panes.

I was searching for "Anglian" within the window and there were several
occurrences. But as these are within the panes it is extremely difficult
to know where they are!

Also pane scrolling had a great tendency to misbehave. sometimes the
mouse-wheel would scroll a pane, sometimes not. And sometimes the wrong
pane would scroll!

so I think it may be a useful test window.

If removing _all_ script from a page does not alter the way the page

script.

Having got to grips with advanced Search and Replace, I have it in mind to

But doing the script removal will highlight the scripts you are removing.

URL crashes Netsurf

2018-04-13 Thread Richard Torrens (lists)
This URL

www.siemens-home.bsh-group.com/uk

causes Netsurf to totally crash on the ARMX6 with 5.23 (18-Feb-18). 

The crash is total, no log file, Alt-Brk does nothing. Ctrl-Brk does do a
reset.

Does it happen to anyone else?

SVG

2019-02-21 Thread Richard Torrens (lists)
How far has SVG rendering got?

sVGs are not common yet, but I met a page with some prsent, which don't
display properly:

https://www.electronics-notes.com/articles/antennas-propagation/dipole-antenna/folded-dipole.php

It's also curious tha the text is truncated on the left margin as if CSS
left-margin has a negative value.
