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

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.

My regards

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.

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

This is a pretty common occurrence with Dillo, especially with certain websites.

A full-featured browser is usually required to access e-mail accounts.
Remember, Dillo doesn't support cache, cookies, history, etc...which is why it's so much faster.

I know, but my point is that I can access gmail, but I can't figure out the exact url required to "accept" cookies for in dillorc, I've tried several, such as mail.google.com that don't work, so I've had to configure dillorc as 'default accept'

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

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

Code: Select all

Nav_open_url: new url='http://mail.google.com/mail/'
Dns_server [0]: mail.google.com is 173.194.45.54 173.194.45.53
Connecting to 173.194.45.54
Nav_open_url: new url='https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=true&rm=false&continue=http://mail.google.com/mail/&scc=1&ltmpl=default&ltmplcache=2'
Capi_filters_test: deny from 'accounts.google.com' to 'ssl.gstatic.com'

Dillo comes with cookies disabled by default.
I could get to gmail.com using this :
Edit /root/.dillo/cookiesrc with geany
Add this line ".google.com ACCEPT_SESSION"

Dillo-3.0.3 has been released

#122 Post by session »

From dillo.org:
Dillo-3.0.3 has been released!
17-Apr-2013

We've added support for the CSS display property, fine-grained control over hyphenation, a domainrc mechanism to replace filter_auto_requests, UI color preferences, a keybinding to view source, a couple of text selection improvements, some form widget work, keyboard navigation improvements, better window titles, fixed bugs that cropped up, etc. The big news is that work is active on floating elements, but this won't be ready to go inside this release. Stay tuned...

Hi,

I have not discovered how to display all characters properly using dillo - please see my last post on this subject @ http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... ebd#665871

If anyone has any new idea(s) on a fix that would be great, however this post is about another small problem, viz:
viewing the above link in dillo (screen width 1024 pixels with size 14 font) I have to use the horizontal scroll bar and I wonder if there is a way to make that post, amongst some others, fit my screen width without reducing my font size?

My regards

That page is wider because of the box of unwrapped code near the bottom. You can create a style.css file in .dillo and add this:

Code: Select all

.code {font-family: monospace !important; font-size: 8px !important}
I'm sure there's a better way to do that, but it works.

Hi session,

Thank you very much for your interest and for your suggested method (which I had not thought of),

My style.css line currently reads:

Code: Select all

body {background-color: #FFFFFF !important; font-family: Serif !important; color: blue !important}
so I could easily add your "font-size: 8px !important" to that line.
---------------
My method amended my dillorc file line to:

Code: Select all

font_min_size=8 
substituting 8 in place of 14.
----------------
When I call Geany from my Task Bar it automatically opens at the file and line that was last amended. So either of our changes is easily reversed.

My regards

Ideally, like Opera, it could auto-wrap the larger text into whatever the available width, but I don't know how to achieve that in any other browser.
