gsnedders
stays by the shores of the sea of interoperability
10:52
<gsnedders>
(having followed the link to TBL's similar thing)
11:21
<gsnedders>
annevk2: in #whatwg!? what's happened?
11:32
<hsivonen>
Hixie: what Keynote feature did you use to create a timeline?
11:57
hsivonen
is totally puzzled with Keynote not having an obvious way to turn a CVS table of labels and numbers into a bar chart
13:14
<hsivonen>
where might I find a reference to the W3C decision to leave 4.01 as the last version of HTML and move to XHTML
13:20
<Dashiva>
Not a good reference, but /tr/html leads to XHTML 1.0
13:22
<hsivonen>
Dashiva: I meant the meeting and its date when the XML course was decided
13:37
<zcorpan>
hsivonen: last time i searched for it i didn't find anything
13:39
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: ok. good to know
13:40
<zcorpan>
which was... hmm, perhaps 2 years ago
13:44
<Lachy>
hsivonen, it would have been decided around 1998-1999 when work on XHTML began
14:51
<zcorpan>
<title> <textarea> <style> <script> <xmp> <noscript> <iframe> <noembed> <noframes>
14:51
<zcorpan>
are there any others that are [R]CDATA elements?
14:51
<zcorpan>
<xml> in ie, i think, but other than that?
14:56
<zcorpan>
i guess <applet> and <object> are pseudo-CDATA in ie too
16:42
<zcorpan>
hsivonen: feature request: it would be useful to be able to group errors by message (perhaps so by default even), because often there are lots of errors of the same type and you usually fix them with a search-and-replace
16:42
<zcorpan>
e.g. http://validator.nu/?doc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cafefernando.com%2Fturkce%2F
16:43
<zcorpan>
s/group/collapse/
16:48
<zcorpan>
(in case that page changes: it contains lots of "<a .../><img/></a>" which results in lots of "Stray / in tag." and "An a start tag seen with already an active a element." messages)
17:08
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: feature request recorded. However, I probably won't be implementing the requested feature any time soon, because Validator.nu doesn't have the concept of "same type" and the whole architecture is designed to assume that such grouping is unwanted
17:09
<hsivonen>
so introducing the feature inside Validator.nu wouldn't be much easier than writing a separate front end that called Validator.nu using the Web service API and did the sorting
17:09
<zcorpan>
hsivonen: it could be javascript
17:10
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: true. I hadn't though of that
17:10
<zcorpan>
btw, do you think it would be useful for you if the PFWG produced schemas for XHTML+ARIA?
17:11
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: which XHTML?
17:12
<hsivonen>
zcorpan: which schema language?
17:12
<zcorpan>
not sure
17:12
<hsivonen>
I'm probably going to write XHTML5+ARIA in due course
18:14
<aroben>
Lachy: yt?
18:15
<Lachy>
y
18:16
<aroben>
Lachy: do you think http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/Guide/ is an appropriate place for an overview of <canvas>?
18:16
<aroben>
Lachy: should the offline apps overview be merged in as well?
18:18
<Lachy>
aroben, if it's something that would be suitable for the Web Dev's Guide to HTML 5, then sure
18:19
<aroben>
Lachy: the offline apps overview is certainly something that developers will want to read, though I don't think it's developer-specific
18:20
<Lachy>
are you talking about an overview that already exists somewhere?
18:20
<aroben>
Lachy: for offline apps, yes
18:21
<Lachy>
link?
18:21
<aroben>
Lachy: Hixie and anne wrote it
18:21
aroben
finds it
18:21
<Lachy>
this thing http://dev.w3.org/html5/offline-webapps/ ?
18:21
<aroben>
Lachy: yes
18:25
<Lachy>
it might be suitable, I'll have to think about it. I wasn't intending to look at that stuff for quite a while and will focus on the more stable sections
18:26
<aroben>
Lachy: I was thinking about starting to write a <canvas> overview, and so I wanted to figure out if I should just do it within the developer's guide
18:31
<Philip`>
aroben: Do you have ideas of what the overview would include? (I think duplicating the tutorial content that's already on the Mozilla wiki wouldn't be useful, but there are other things that aren't clearly written anywhere yet (as far as I'm aware))
18:32
<hsivonen>
is there a vector PDF whatwg logo available?
18:32
<aroben>
Philip`: I've only just started thinking about it
18:33
<aroben>
Philip`: existing documents I'm aware of are
18:33
<aroben>
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Drawing_Graphics_with_Canvas
18:33
<aroben>
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Canvas_tutorial
18:33
<aroben>
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/SafariJSProgTopics/Tasks/Canvas.html
18:34
<aroben>
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariJSRef/Classes/Canvas.html
18:37
<Philip`>
aroben: Okay - I can't think of any other relevant documents except for scattered pieces in blogs and mailing lists
18:37
<Lachy>
aroben, you're welcome to contribute stuff about canvas if you like
18:38
<Philip`>
Oh, there's also some book stuff like http://safari.oreilly.com/0596102437/html_canvas which I can't read
18:43
<aroben>
Lachy: thanks, I guess we can always separate it out if we think that's more appropriate
18:43
<aroben>
Lachy: but I'd like to err on the side of fewer documents
19:29
<Hixie>
hsivonen: no special feature, just some shapes
19:32
<hsivonen>
Hixie: ok seems tedious. I implemented each year as a slide
19:33
gsnedders
draws a circle around Hixie, and a square around hsivonen
19:34
<hsivonen>
(aside: I'm in awe over the level of suckiness of Keynote's chart tools and even more in awe over the suckiness of Numbers in general when trying to make something to paste to Keynote)
19:40
<Hixie>
hsivonen: oh it was _very_ tedious
19:40
<Hixie>
hsivonen: but it worked much better (imho) to have it all on one screen
19:40
<Hixie>
hsivonen: what version?
19:43
<hsivonen>
Hixie: '08
19:46
<Hixie>
hsivonen: ah. well. compared to v1, believe me, '08 is a dream.
19:46
<Hixie>
hsivonen: (also a dream compared to ppt)
20:02
<hsivonen>
hrm. Safari does not print SVG
20:03
<hsivonen>
Minefield print SVG but as bitmaps
20:04
<hsivonen>
and Opera crashes printing SVG
20:05
<hsivonen>
Prince to rescue
20:10
<othermaciej>
Safari doesn't print SVG?
20:10
othermaciej
is mildly surprised
20:11
<hsivonen>
othermaciej: well, at least does not preview or save as PDF
20:13
<othermaciej>
does it refuse, or does the PDF come out blank?
20:13
<hsivonen>
othermaciej: comes out blank
22:58
<Hixie>
sure are a lot of odd things on *.com.com subdomains
23:01
<Hixie>
what on earth is http://www2.2ch.net/snow/index.js
23:02
<Hixie>
an analytics script, it seems
23:02
<Hixie>
how weird
23:12
<Dashiva>
It's also supposed to be shift-jis, for what it matters
23:14
<MikeSmith>
there's a whole lot of weirdness on 2ch.net
23:14
<MikeSmith>
if Jorge Luis Borges were still alive he could write a great story about it
23:15
<MikeSmith>

<MikeSmith>
ni-chaneru
23:41
<Hixie>
MikeSmith: interesting
23:52
Hixie
stares at http://engine.cqvip.com/content/script/mainfuncation.js is confusion
23:53
<Hixie>
what on earth is <script src=poem.js></script> used for
23:56
<Lachy>
Hixie, where is poem.js used?
23:56
<gavin>
did you mean to give the URL?
23:58
<Hixie>
lachy: i don't know.
23:58
<Hixie>
Lachy: google searches suggest arabic bulletin boards.
23:59
<Lachy>
ok. Then how is anyone supposed to know what that script is used for without seeing it in context?
23:59
<Hixie>
it's often quite easy
23:59
<Hixie>
e.g. if i ask what jquery.js is for, everyone knows :-)
