[webkit-dev] Line breaking
In looking at a bunch of web compat bugs filed in the Chromium bug tracker, it seems like WebKit's line breaking behavior is a major source of compatibility problems. I'm currently writing a test suite to reverse engineer the line breaking behavior of other browsers. I'm not familiar with the history of WebKit's line breaking behavior. Who would be a good person to talk with about these issues? Thanks, Adam ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev

[webkit-dev] fix for error code 1023 encountered when trying to install DirectX SDK
In the process of installing the tools needed to do dev on Webkit, my attempted installation of DirectX SDK repeatedly got stuck half way through presenting error code 1023. Investigating this I found a number of people have encountered the same issue for whatever reason. The step by step solution that worked for me is posted below . It involves editing the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE portion of the registry. Other people may find this information useful. The full online discussion with the excerpted solution can be found here: http://www.pchelpforum.com/general-software/55819-trying-install-directx-sdvnov2008-help.html *DirectX SDK installation 1023 error fix: * Goto Start-Run and type in regedit Now in the folder tree on the left hand side find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and expand it. Go to SOFTWARE and expand it. Go to Microsoft and expand it. Look for the folder under here named DirectX. (If it is not there create it). If it is there, delete it because we are going to recreate it. Now right click in the empty window on the right and add this data (there will probably be at least a Default string value located here, just leave it) New-BinaryData Name: InstalledVersion Type:REG_BINARY Data: 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 00 New-DWORDValue Name: InstallMDX Type:REG_DWORD Data: 0x0001 New-StringValue Name:SDKVersion Type:REG_SZ Data:9.26.1590.0 New-StringValue Name:Version Type:REG_SZ Data:4.09.00.0904 Now close this window and run the DirectX SDK install and it should install correctly.

[webkit-dev] A database access question
Hello, Since there is local database API in the browser. What is need to be allowed to add access to remote databases from javascript Of course this would require that the user be able to allow or not allow this from some part of the interface like turning on and off cookies and javascript I have made plugins to do this and accessed the databases remotely from javascript - but the issues is, do uses want to load a plugin and do they trust that the plugin will not send or retrieve anything they don't expect. And so adding this ability to the browser in open source and with the ability to turn it on and off - would give the uses the security and not have to load a plugin. I'm not sure many people will see this as useful but I am asking to see what the procedures is for adding new modules to the browser and what people think of it. ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
