by Roberto J. Dohnert on Wednesday 10/Sep/2003, @15:36
Does Apples KHTML and KJSCRIPT enhancements get included in 3.2 or will it be 3.3 before they are included.

Much of the original changes have already been merged in, but Apple has made many more changes before Safari 1.0 hit (and no doubt, they are still making changes as we speak), some of which has not been merged in.

    Is it a high priority to integrate Apple's code? It really should be, but doesn't sound like there's a great deal of emphasis on it. The most exciting thing about 3.2 is definately going to be seeing what Konqueror is like. I'm not going to try any releases until 3.2 final comes out so hopefully I'll get blown away!

      I think you'll be impressed. Right now it is fast, renders almost all pages well. It is a little unstable at this moment, but will get better at release.

      The only time I fire up mozilla now is when the cvs version is broken. It works for all that I use it for, banking, browsing, kmplayer plugin, etc.

      • konqueror renders multiple times?
        by katakombi on Wednesday 10/Sep/2003, @22:56
        what is the reason that konqueror seems to render pages in multiple stages?
        Especially opening huge sites you can see some reformattings (fonts,tables) which isn't very nice. Gecko-based browsers have solved this issue, Opera does it less often.
        Does anybody know the reasons of this annoying effect and if it is been worked on?

        greetings,
        katakombi >8^)

          It's useful for slow internet connection, you can start
          to read text before of loading all html/images.

          Konq is really good here.

        I have a kinda silly question. The website www.newz.dk has been broken in konqueror since they changed their layout, but works in all the other browsers I have tested. So can anyone tell me if this is a bug in konqueror or in the website itself and if I should repport it at bugs.kde.org (searching for similar bugs turned out too many results for me to wade through)?

          How is it broken? It looks to mee as if it renders just fine, but then again I have no clue what so ever on how it really should look:-)
          But as it looks, it looks as if it is rendered correctly. Nice site, think I have to check it out some more.
          Here at CBS we're using SiteScape for our e-Learning system, and THAT is rendered completely wrong. All menues (javascript) are not displayed.
          There is a TreeView where you can gain quick access to forums teams and such this tree is not displayed at all, and many more things.
          I like that konqueror is quickly loaded when you want to access a web site and I like that it is so integrated into KDE, but I really think that there is just too many things that konqueror cannot do.
          To me it is not usable at all. I just use it to quickly look up some page, but in dayly usage at work I dont use it. Even though I would like to. I have also tried this new release, and I really cannot see any real changes to the items I think is missing/not working.

            I've had similar experiences with Lotus Quickplace and Konqueror. But anyway, it says that Internet Explorer is needed. Most (commercial) web-based knowledge management systems I know make extensive use of IEs capabilities. No way to get decent results with any OS browser at all.

            If you read the user comments you will see that the positioning is a little off. I am testing this with KDE 3.1.3.

              A little off? =)
              This is what I get using a cvs build a couple of days old:
              Konqueror: http://vazagi.homepage.dk/screen2.jpg
              Opera: http://vazagi.homepage.dk/screen1.jpg

                If kde people want to hack their browser a bit, just try to get http://www.geek.com/ working!

                Kinda blank page atleast on konqueror ;-)...

                  Oh my god the creators of that site should be hauled of and SHOT for such crappy coding. Look at the page source. It is using a lot of javascript document.write stuff and it checks for browser ident. If you tell konq to identify itself as ie, ns4 and some others it works just not in its default config. I would be hard pressed to find crappier code then that. Maybe not rendering that site should be a feature. :)

                It looks fine in my konq. Just as in your Opera snapshot!
                Strange

                  It renders incorrectly for me in CVS HEAD from 2 days ago.

                  Which version are you using? 3.1x? (if this is the case, then this might be a regression)
