wonders if the tool would work better in ie if some script from dean edwards was applied
00:03
<zcorpan>
like "ie7" or base2 or something -- i haven't looked closely at either script nor the tool
00:04
<Hixie>
given that as far as i can tell it's not inconveniencing any actual users, i don't see much point in making the page less standards compliant
00:06

gens a version of the spec with three extra elements (without defining them yet)

sighs at twitter for being crap
00:07
<Hixie>
twitter's so unreliable
00:07
<Hixie>
is there another system that also supports IM, sms, and rest api interaction?
00:07
<Hixie>
meeting. bbl.
00:08
<takkaria>
for free? I doubt it

From a position of knowing exactly nothing about it, <nest> sounds like a fairly ambiguous name
00:24
<Dashiva>
So is it only IEx that doesn't support the issues page, or are other browsers (possibly older versions) also unable to use it?
00:27
<zcorpan>
jgraham: nice with the table inspector. i might look into writing test pages with tables that we like the algorithm to work with -- based on ben's research -- so we can do rapid prototyping of alternative algorithms

Dashiva: The voting doesn't really work in Konqueror
00:33
<Philip`>
(It does count the vote, but doesn't update the screen after voting)
00:38
<Philip`>
(So, uh, I suppose that means the voting does really work, but it just has cosmetic issues)

Gonna have to set up a local server proxy for the listen and whatnot, I suppose... where are those cross-domain auth specs when you need them

wondering if anybody may have looked at the OpenAjax "Hub" spec and have any thoughts on it
05:30

<MikeSmith>

<MikeSmith>
To make the application work, the developer registers a callback function that is invoked whenever the user selects a new date in the calendar widget. This callback function then broadcasts the new date event using the OpenAjax Hub's publish() function:

05:32
<MikeSmith>

05:32
<MikeSmith>
Then the developer includes code such that each chart widget and data grid widget subscribes to the new date event and provides a callback function. The various callback functions then update the given visualization widget appropriately:

<MikeSmith>

05:33
<MikeSmith>
[[
05:33
<MikeSmith>
The Hub's key feature is its publish/subscribe manager (the "pub/sub manager"). The pub/sub manager allows one part of a mashup to broadcast an event to which other application components subscribe.

wonders why white-space:pre doesn't work in <select>s in any browser
19:44
<Philip`>
(Is that a bug?)
19:47
<zcorpan>
a lot of stuff don't work with <select>s or form controls in general

(Thinking of http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?%3C%21DOCTYPE%20html%3E%0A%3Cselect%20style%3D%22font-family%3A%20monospace%3B%20white-space%3A%20pre%22%3E%0A%3Coption%20value%3D%221%22%3E4302WW%20%7C%20Red%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%7C%20%A310.99%0A%3Coption%20value%3D%222%22%3E2915II%20%7C%20Turquoise%20%7C%20%A310.99%0A%3C/select%3E in particular)
19:48
<Philip`>
Um, if anyone knows why that causes "Service Temporarily Unavailable", I'd be happy to find out
19:51
<Philip`>
Hixie: http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?%7C%20%20%7C says "Service Temporarily Unavailable" which is peculiar
19:51
<Philip`>
Anyway, I was thinking of http://canvex.lazyilluminati.com/misc/dom-viewer/?%3C%21DOCTYPE%20html%3E%0D%0A%3Cselect%20style%3D%22font-family%3A%20monospace%3B%20white-space%3A%20pre%22%3E%0D%0A%3Coption%20value%3D%221%22%3E4302WW%20%7C%20Red%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%7C%20%A310.99%0D%0A%3Coption%20value%3D%222%22%3E2915II%20%7C%20Turquoise%20%7C%20%A310.99%0D%0A%3C/select%3E

Philip`: encoding problem with the dead viewer?
19:54
<zcorpan>
http://canvex.lazyilluminati.com/misc/dom-viewer/reflect.cgi?%u263A for ☺
19:55
<Philip`>
Yes, but I don't know where since I tried to make everything just use UTF-8
19:55
<Philip`>
Oh, that won't work because the CGI program only understands %xx values
19:55
<zcorpan>
indeed, but that's what the js sends
19:56
<zcorpan>
it should send %E2%98%BA instead
19:56
<Philip`>
In FF3 it sends %A3
19:56
<Philip`>
(as far as I can see)
19:56
<Philip`>
(Uh, for £ symbols at least)
19:57
<zcorpan>
yeah, opera too
19:58
<zcorpan>
it's escape()
19:59
<zcorpan>
use encodeURIComponent() instead
20:00
<Philip`>
Oh, never heard of that before
20:00
<zcorpan>
and decodeURIComponent() instead of unescape()
20:03
<Philip`>

Do any browsers sniff text/plain content differently to unlabelled content? (I'm wondering how many web sites would break when upgrading to an Apache that doesn't send Content-Type: text/plain by default)
21:08
<Dashiva>
Philip`: I wouldn't expect any intentional differences, but perhaps that some forget to do parts of the sniffing because there hasn't been a need yet
