| 00:55 | <IRC-Source_48908> | hey people, i've got a question regarding properly marking up some data, is this the right place to ask or is there somewhere else more suitable for newb questions? |
| 00:56 | <MikeSmith> | IRC-Source_48908: best just to ask |
| 00:57 | <IRC-Source_48908> | i need to mark this up http://imgur.com/a/1ooJS , but the data is arranged in columns, should I use tables to represent this or something like divs? |
| 01:03 | <MikeSmith> | IRC-Source_48908: it looks exactly like tabular data, so it would seem best to mark it up using a <table> |
| 01:08 | <IRC-Source_48908> | yea, that's what i thought, as i was marking it up it didn't feel right, the data is only meaningful when you look at it from a column perspective, the rows are meaningless |
| 01:11 | <IRC-Source_48908> | or perhaps i should markup each day as it's own table, that would then make sense |
| 03:45 | <Domenic> | Hmm the UTF-16 encoder is not specified in encoding.spec.whatwg.org? |
| 03:46 | <Domenic> | Someone is claiming that you need to prepend a BOM (in a Node.js issue https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/11767 ) and that seems wrong but I'm not sure where to confirm... |
| 06:00 | <annevk> | Domenic: we removed it since browsers don't need to expose it |
| 10:13 | <XhmikosR> | MikeSmith: no worries, it's not so urgent :) |
| 11:08 | <annevk> | I wonder why trac.webkit.org is offline for so long |
| 11:08 | <annevk> | I guess it's mostly managed by Apple? |
| 11:11 | <hsivonen> | what's the motivation for user-select: none; to exist in the Web Platform? |
| 11:11 | <hsivonen> | it allows hostile behavior by sites |
| 11:53 | <gsnedders> | hsivonen: there are plenty of cases of mouse/touch based navigation where you want to forbid selections, though maybe you can do that decently enough with JS alone, idk |
| 13:21 | <hsivonen> | gsnedders: does specifying it on <a> make following links faster in iOS Safari or something? |
| 13:23 | <zcorpan_> | hsivonen: i think it is a UI expectation to not allow selection of text in buttons |
| 13:25 | <zcorpan_> | e.g. https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/style/res/forms.css has a bunch of -moz-user-select: none; |
| 13:53 | <gsnedders> | hsivonen: I think Google Maps uses it a fair bit, for example |
| 15:27 | <topaxi> | its also useful for drag&select style things (like file explorers or desktops) |
| 15:27 | <topaxi> | oh i'm very late |
| 15:27 | <topaxi> | ... :D |
| 22:15 | <mounir> | dbaron: any chance you can have a look at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/pull/994 ? :) |
| 22:20 | <dbaron> | mounir: done |
| 22:21 | <mounir> | dbaron: thanks :) |
