Maciej, Darin, thank you for your feedback! > I believe <progress> is only currently enabled for the Qt port, in part > because no one has implemented the other themes. Yes, there are only Qt port and Mac port available now and I agree with you that well-behaving one new element is more useful than half-baked two. So OK, I'll start porting <progress> to Chromium before I start working on <meter>.
On stylability and accessibility, currently I have no idea how to implement these, and how hard they are. I would investigate them later after chromium port, or original <progress> author (Yael) might have some ideas or code for that, which would be very helpful. I'll follow the progress of our <progress> implementation. -- morita On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 11:31 AM, Maciej Stachowiak <m...@apple.com> wrote: > > On Apr 4, 2010, at 7:23 PM, Hajime Morita wrote: > >> Hi folks, >> >> I'm planning to work on HTML5 <meter> element, >> which is filed on https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37074 . >> Although there seems no effort for that element at this time, >> The <progress> element looks similar to <meter>. >> So I'll try to go the way as <progress> has been going and >> share some part of codebase hopefully. >> >> Any suggestions and advices are welcome. >> Thanks in advance. > > I don't know if there is much opportunity for code sharing. <meter> is > pretty different from <progress>.
