Hi aragon.

That was a quick response. The screen shot below shows the start of my post as viewed from Dillo (which is in substitution for a link - where I only took a snapshot of the two words).

Yes, I tried your Dillo 2.2 pet and two pets from Tman.

I suspect that apart from the Dillo screen shot - my above post looks normal to most readers.

My regards

[aragon]

Ah, ok i see. But back to the other part of the question, did you try the actual pet from the first post (3...)? You're allways refering to 2.2 which is an older one...

Hi aragon,

I tried v 3 from Tman and v 2.2 from yourself and Tman.

I can try your 3.0.2-1 pet in about 2 hours from now if you think it may help.

My regards

Update - I have just tried your 3.0.2-1 - but no joy.
I will be back on line in about two hours.

Hi technosaurus,

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I have tried both
versions though without success.

It is not very important - it's just that it would be nicer if
it were fixed.

Dillo seems to be deceived by the page code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

The real encoding is utf-8. Firefox is smart enough to ignore the tag.

[aragon]

Jasper,

i've looked into the issue ...

Dillo will only display special chars correct if

a) the charset is set to utf-8 as burunduk mentions
b) special chars are escaped properly (what as far as i see/understand does not happen for the message-body in the forum)

so it seems this is more a phpBB issue, than a dillo issue. Other browser just seem to be more fault-tolerant.

Hi aragon, Burunduk and technosaurus,

Thank you all very much for your time and help.

I have been using utf-8 throughout, plus there have been a few thousand dillo downloads from this thread (apparently with few, if any, display problems).

So, it would seem that, whilst phpBB may well be problematic, there is some other cause more specific to me.

My computing knowledge is so poor that I don't even have a pay grade, so I can only understand any comments in a non-technical sense.

Burunduk mentioned "page code" and I do remember that long ago (using W98SE and a particular DOS program) I had to use Code Page 437 (instead of 850 or 85?) to see a correct display.

I still have W98SE on my computer, but I think I had to set code page 437 in autoexec.bat or config.sys so I have no idea if (or how) that might affect Puppy Linux and my dillo display.

My regards

I love Dillo but I'm having a couple of issues with my 3.0 version in Precise.

1) Non-stop "certificate" warnings each time I follow a link.. Possibly caused by my clock being out of sync since I use no battery in my laptop.

2) I can't figure which URL to insert in the Dillo cookiesrc file to allow me to log in and view gmail in html mode. I have to resort to using "DEFAULT ACCEPT" which I don't like.

Any advice on fixing either of the above is most welcome.
Thanks
Greg

It looks like dillo 3.0.3 will be released real soon.

Tcpdump is useful to find out what sites are getting called.

[linuxcbon]

If you type dillo from shell, it will display which websites are called.
For example:
