I know Samsung is using the feature but they're not sure if they'll be supporting it in the future. Are there are other folks who are actively using WML?

We're using WML in WebKit trunk now. Even though, there are some maintenance difficulties, I think WML needs to be maintained for some time. BTW, as far as I know, there are some bugs in WML. So, we have plan to contribute our patches soon. - Gyuyoung Kim -----Original Message----- From: webkit-dev-bounces@lists.webkit.org [mailto:webkit-dev- bounces@lists.webkit.org] On Behalf Of webkit-dev-request@lists.webkit.org Sent: Friday, April 08, 2011 11:00 PM To: webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org Subject: webkit-dev Digest, Vol 71, Issue 8 Send webkit-dev mailing list submissions to webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to webkit-dev-request@lists.webkit.org You can reach the person managing the list at webkit-dev-owner@lists.webkit.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of webkit-dev digest..."

I think even if other ports aren't interested in experimenting with this change at the current time, that we should proceed to experiment with it in Chromium. I would very much like us to have data about how many sites are impacted, so that we can share that with others. -Darin On Wed, Apr 6, 2011 at 4:37 PM, Sreeram Ramachandran <sreeram@google.com>wrote:

We'd like to disallow modal dialogs (i.e., those arising from calls to alert, confirm, prompt or showModalDialog) during unload events (beforeunload, unload and pagehide) [1]. Chromium wants to do this [2]. Since this affects web compatibility, I'd like to get agreement from the other webkit ports as well.

The benefits are: + Fewer annoyances for users who are trying to leave a page. + In the case of tab close, allows the browser to hide the tab before it has finished running the unload or pagehide event handlers (doesn't apply to beforeunload); gives the impression of better performance.

This doesn't affect returning a non-null value from beforeunload; that will still cause the browser to show the stay-or-leave dialog. We think that is sufficient to satisfy legitimate needs to warn the user about data loss, etc.

Outside webkit, this has been discussed on whatwg, but without a definite conclusion [3]. Firefox seems to be considering this as well [4].

All in favour, say aye!
