Ampersand escaping in HTML URL
by Boyd Waters 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

HTTP URLs pass parameters in GET requests by appending name=value pairs to the URL, separated by the ampersand character. XHTML Strict does not permit the ampersand character, but rather requires an 'escaped' entity reference & followed by a-m-p-semicolon: & Safari version 2.0.2 (416.12) passes this in the URL as the Unicode entity & -- & followed by hash-three-eight-semicolon. The Tomcat servlet container blows this off; the Java JDK 1.5.0_05 does not interpret such a string as a valid URL query parameter. Safari with WebKit via today's (10-Nov-2005) CVS does NOT have this problem. Mozilla, FireFox, and Camino likewise do not pass this entity in the URL, but rather pass the "bare" ampersand character, which is the correct behavior. rdar://4338299 Looks like it is fixed with the WebKit in CVS.

cvs.opensource.apple.com downtime

WebKit Committers, Unless there's an objection, I will be performing a system upgrade on cvs.opensource.apple.com this afternoon at 3:30pm PDT which will requiring taking it offline for about 15-20 minutes. I'll be disabling logins, and ensuring all pending CVS commits are flushed prior to taking it offline This will not affect anoncvs.opensource.apple.com, so anonymous CVS checkouts will continue to work during this time. Thanks, Kevin

overflow:hidden behavior
by Benjamin Listwon 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Hey all, I am not 100% sure if this is the correct place to go over this one, but I ran into an interesting behavior with the overflow:hidden; property in CSS. Basically, if there is a relatively positioned element contained within another element that has it's overflow set to hidden, the relatively positioned element will be hidden from view, but you can still interact with it's hidden content. For detailed samples, click here: http://designfridge.com/phpdocs/labs/overflow/Overflow.php In Firefox, the element is not clickable outside the visible portion, hence why I am wondering if it is a bug in Safari's implementation, or if it is something for the Moz crowd to fix. Either way, I just want to se if it is fixable, needs a big filed, or if I should address it on my end. Thanks for your time, --Ben

file drop getting filtered?
by Arthur Debert 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Hi there. I have yet another drag & drop question, but so far I couldn't find the answer to my question. I got the basics of drag and drop ok, the trouble is, it will not accept dragged items (files from finder) that have a ".flv" extension. I can manage fine with gifs, jpegs, htmls and the like, but I need to get it working with flv files (those will be dealt with the macromedia flash player). I am really confused here. somewhere webview is filtering the kind of files I can drop from the finder. should I use webpolicy somehow? thanks a lot, arthur

Greetings from Nokia Mobility Conference 2005 from the S60 mobile browser team at Nokia
by roland.geisler＠nokia.com 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

Hi, I am at the moment sitting in Barcelona at Nokia Mobility Conference 2005 where in a few minutes our new Web Browser for S60 will be announced. I wanted to take this opportunity to again thank the KDE community and the Apple Safari team for having built the Konqueror and Safari browser, and for your enjoyable collaboration with our team over the past months. It has been a fascinating year for us here at Nokia to develop our new Web Browser for S60. Building a new product is always exciting and challenging at the same time. Bringing the full Web to mobile devices is a bold goal. We think our new browser will make mobile Web browsing fast, intuitive, and more enjoyable for both consumers and enterprise users, bringing us a big step closer to this goal. WebCore/KHTML and JavaScriptCore/KJS are now integral parts of our new browser architecture, and the excellent Web compliance, small size and performance have already impressed our customers. We have also built a couple of cool new features that will make full Web browsing on mobile devices easier and more fun - more information will be available on S60.com and forum.nokia.com pages later today. We think these are truly exciting times for Web browsing on mobile devices. Some of our S60 smartphone studies at Nokia indicate that browsing is already today generating over 60% of mobile data traffic, and improved network performance of WCDMA/3G more than doubles the browser usage compared to GPRS/EDGE. We believe that a browser that is built on open source components can offer top performance, interoperability and innovative features, and we are excited to work together with you on this. Our relationship with KDE community members and the Apple Safari team over the past months has been in particular rewarding for us at Nokia; we had a great time presenting our porting experiences at the KDE aKademy conference in Spain last August and we enjoyed meeting the Safari team in Cupertino - thank you very much KDE and Apple again for your kind invitations. In the next few months we will continue to finalize our product, and we hope that our first devices with the new browser will be shipping already beginning of next year. At the same time we want to strengthen our dialogue with you on how to share and integrate our code, discuss future features and agree on how to collaborate in the future. We are delighted to be working with you on how to "mobilize" WebCore/KHTML and JavaScriptCore/KJS to create the best Web browser based on open source components for mobile devices. Best regards, Your S60 mobile browser team at Nokia, Roland Geisler Head of Marketing & Strategy, S60 Browser Nokia PS: Please forward this email to any contributor whom I may have missed.

Performance update: Tree is OPEN
by Maciej Stachowiak 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi everyone, Chris and I guessed that part of what might be causing the wide swings and unrepeatability of our recent performance numbers might be caused in part by Spotlight. Measuring TOT with Spotlight disabled, we got numbers consistently within range of the baseline. Therefore the tree is now OPEN for your commits. Regards, Maciej
