| 02:41 | <dbaron> | gsnedders, http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css2/visudet.html#the-height-property defines percentage heights to behave like auto when the containing block's height is not specified explicitly |
| 02:41 | <dbaron> | gsnedders, presumably this case counts, although it isn't completely clear |
| 02:50 | <gsnedders> | dbaron: okay, that was my best guess |
| 03:04 | <gsnedders> | dbaron: yeah, that's definitely it |
| 03:56 | <gsnedders> | dbaron: (thanks, by the way) |
| 12:28 | <tombob51> | I would like to make an account, with the username "tombob51" so I can add a meta tag. |
| 12:40 | <MikeSmith> | tombob51: if you're adding the meta tag for the purpose of getting a document to validate, then don't bother, because the validator doesn't do any checking at all on meta[name] any more |
| 12:41 | <MikeSmith> | that whole thing is a failed experiment IMHO |
| 12:42 | <MikeSmith> | and speaking as one of the maintainers of the validator, it has cost me a huge amount of time for almost no real benefit to users in practice |
| 12:42 | <MikeSmith> | so I'm cutting my losses on that and not going to support meta[name] checking in the validator code any longer |
| 12:43 | <tombob51> | I haven't heard of any validator, I just want to add a meta tag so other people can know what it means and use it. |
| 12:43 | <MikeSmith> | well I wish I could say that I felt that was worth you taking the time do to it but I don't |
| 12:44 | <MikeSmith> | I have perms to add new users to the wiki but I'm not going to add any new users for this purpose |
| 12:44 | <MikeSmith> | you might be able to go somebody else here to do it though |
| 12:44 | <MikeSmith> | IMHO the whole registration mechanism for new meta[name] keywords has also been a failure |
| 12:45 | <tombob51> | I am using the NetBeans IDE, and it throws a warning for the meta tag I'm trying to use. I guess it must have a good validator because it says to add it to this wiki if it's not a typo. |
| 12:46 | <MikeSmith> | I don't know what it's using but if it's not just making a network call to the validator, then it might be using a jar I created |
| 12:46 | <MikeSmith> | and you might be able to update that jar |
| 12:47 | <MikeSmith> | https://github.com/validator/validator/releases |
| 12:47 | <tombob51> | I don't know either. Also, I barely know any Java. Could somebody please add this meta tag? Here's an example: <meta name="msapplication-tap-highlight" content="no" /> |
| 12:47 | <MikeSmith> | https://sideshowbarker.net/releases/jar/ |
| 12:47 | <tombob51> | https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/bg182645(v=vs.85).aspx#tapHighlight |
| 12:48 | <MikeSmith> | you might also be able to point you IDE at http://validator.w3.org/nu/ instead of https://validator.nu/ |
| 12:49 | MikeSmith | now regrets not having removed the meta[name] checking a long time ago |
| 12:50 | <tombob51> | Okay it's just a pain to have that warning keep popping up. Just do me a favor and add the meta tag if you won't give me an account. |
| 12:50 | <MikeSmith> | no |
| 12:50 | <MikeSmith> | sorry |
| 12:50 | <MikeSmith> | you can safely ignore that warning |
| 12:51 | <tombob51> | ok then. bye |
| 18:45 | <zcorpan> | TabAtkins: FATAL ERROR: No 'idl-name' refs found for 'EventTarget'. |
| 18:47 | <TabAtkins> | Yeah, Dom/HTML refs are being weird since Friday, sorry. Will troubleshoot tomorrow. |
| 18:47 | <TabAtkins> | Something funky with what I did in the DB |
| 18:48 | <TabAtkins> | I'm still not 100% sure how the Shepherd db works. 😮 |
| 18:56 | <zcorpan> | ok |
| 23:04 | <theseb> | help! why got this? "Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated because of its detrimental effects to the end user's experience." |
| 23:06 | <jgraham> | Because you did a synchronous XHR on the main thread, which is detrimental to the end user's experiene |
| 23:06 | <jgraham> | *experience |
| 23:09 | <theseb> | jgraham: how move to another thread? |
| 23:09 | <theseb> | jgraham: is that the answer? |
| 23:09 | <jgraham> | Probably the answer is to use asynchronous XHR instead |
| 23:09 | <jgraham> | That's almost always easier than movoing to another thread (or rather Worker) |
| 23:10 | <jgraham> | https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/Using_XMLHttpRequest |
| 23:10 | <theseb> | brython.info has some examples that WORK and don't fall over...i guess i'll have to see how they avoid getting the error i got |
| 23:13 | <jarek> | theseb: you are aware that ES6 will support most of the Python features? |
| 23:13 | <jarek> | theseb: I would rather use something like Traceur instead of Brython if you want more expressive langauge |
| 23:13 | <theseb> | jarek: never heard of it..thanks.. |
| 23:16 | <jgraham> | Yeah, so there are disadvantages of using languages that do sync io by default and targeting an environment where sync io is a bad idea |
| 23:17 | <jgraham> | But it looks like browser.ajax should support async requests |
| 23:17 | <jgraham> | xhr = browser.ajax() |
| 23:18 | <jgraham> | xhr.bind("loaded" on_loaded) |
| 23:18 | <jgraham> | xhr.open("GET", "http://yahoo.com";, True) |
| 23:18 | <jgraham> | xhr.send() |
| 23:19 | <jgraham> | Where on_loaded is a function you define |
