[WSG] Safari DOM inspector

2006-11-16 Thread Barney Carroll

Hi all,

Very occasionally I get bizarre inconsistencies with Safari display 
compared to other browsers. Back in the day I'd sit back, take a look at 
the code, go through archived bug reports and allocate the problem via 
deduction.


Sadly these days I have my developer toolbars and DOM inspectors, and 
I'm too lazy and out of practice to do that.


Today I found this fantastic utility [http://webkit.org/]. WebKit is a 
terribly vague name, but I suppose 'the WebKit nightly build' about sums 
it up. I fired it up and went to look at my bug in question and got so 
distracted by its fantastic inspection frames (metrics! woo!) that it 
took me a while to notice that the bug in question had disappeared.


Can anybody suggest a useful alternative?

Regards,
Barney

Barney, 
I am confused by this - did you download WebKit, or some other utility?
If it was just WebKit, then at least you know that the bug will be gone
from a future version of Safari !

WebKit is the rendering engine behind Safari. What you have  
downloaded is a nightly build of what will be Safari 3.0 in Spring  
2007. And yes, Safari 3.0 will have a WebInspector, just as OmniWeb  
5.5 already has one - not a surpirse, as it uses the same WebKit  
rendering engine.
And it is very possible that a bug you see in Safari 1.3/2.0 doesn't  
exist anymore in those nightly WebKit builds. One would hope that  
some bugs get fixed, after all...

Yes, I did... And that is kind of a guilty, comforting thought; 
hopefully by the time the project goes live, everybody using Safari will 
have updated to a version that doesn't suffer the same problem!


However I'm not sure that's how it works... All Apple-made Mac OS html 
readers use WebKit, and WebKit is open source - are the two instances of 
WebKit in that sentence referring to exactly the same thing? For one, 
webkit.org doesn't mention the word 'Apple', nor does it have much in 
the way of documentation re:release dates. So I'm a little confused.


If this is the bona fide, official, endorsed shape of things to come, 
we're all very lucky people!


In the meantime, Safari appears to be completely vanilla, in that it has 
no extensions, and is utterly opaque. Are these assumptions correct? Or 
is there some way I can find out what the current release of Safari is 
reading, other than staring at the source code and the final render?


I do know that generally it treats the styling of forms with disdain 
(plus I'm using javascript on them for display purposes, oo-er). Is 
there any other significant 'bug' I should know about?


Can't divulge urls sadly, but it's a question (as far as I can see) of 
measurements mis-calculations inside a form element. I know that's vague 
as anything... ???

Barney

Indeed! I'll reserve my bitterness over inconvenient progressions for 
IE7. Hehehe.


Thanks for the info - I downloaded the OmniWeb 5.5.1 trial (gorgeous 
tabs system, incidentally); and it renders the page in question, with 
bug, exactly like the current release of Safari. Excellent (for my 
purposes).


However I see no sign of a WebInspector... It's not immediately apparent 
from OmniWeb's interface, Omni don't seem to think it's worth mentioning 
 in their list of fancy features, and a site search for 'inspector' 
only finds instances of it in their other products (all irrelevant in 
this case).


Is it a third party plugin?

Barney

Fantastic! This is exactly what I need. Thank you very much.


(to keep it ore on topic, aka debugging tools)
One feature is sorely missing in WebKits inspector: the ability to live 
edit properties and values for an element. I use that the whole time 
with Gecko's DomInspector. IE's toolbar also has this option.


It is a very useful (if a little unreliable) feature of Gecko's... I 
still prefer the dev toolbar live css modifier for the purposes of trial.


IE's toolbar infuriates me a bit, but it does at least give some 
indication of what IE thinks is going on. As far as I can work out, the 
only dynamic ability is the creation or removal of id or class 
attributes, which I really can't conceive of as being useful in any but 
the most specific situations.

Barney,
Have a look at the second link on the left hand side of that site -
Surfin' Safari Blog - lots of references to Apple in there. Not 100%
sure of the exact relationship between WebKit and Safari releases, but
I'm sure you can find out if you look (I could have sworn it was in the

Although I couldn't tell from your message, you might already have figured
out that WebKit _is_ Safari - or rather what's behind Safari. And I am
guessing you are talking about the Inspect Element feature in recent
WebKit builds. Right-click on any page element and choose Inspect Element. I
agree. It's very cool. I have also noticed bugs not being present in Webkit,
which is good. The next version of Safari is gonna be great.

As far as bug fixing, the best I have come up with is looking for a
different way of coding the area in question to get it right. Move padding
from this element to that, etc.

WebKit: '-khtml' ?!! (Was: Re: [WSG] Safari DOM inspector)

2006-11-16 Thread Barney Carroll
OmniWeb's inspection kit isn't fully functional yet - the search tool 
(great idea) doesn't work yet, and the same goes for the metrics and 
properties tabs. However the style viewer is incredibly useful.


It specifies that it is a 'computed style' viewer - an interesting 
distinction. Gecko happens to be so compliant that such a thing is 
incredibly rarely useful, and as such its own inspector is great in that 
it only displays 'read' code.


IE has a bastardisation of the two: its inspector reflects the fact that 
in many cases it digests code and then converts it into 'behaviours', 
and you often end up with expressions similar in syntax to the notorious 
hasLayout property.


As far as I can see though, WebKit displays what appears to be _every 
possible relevant property_ along with their values... Very useful for 
the purposes of allocating bugs. I notice what appears to be 
WebKit-specific code... Things like


-khtml-text-decorations-in-effect

...Which I have seen in effect - proprietary and usually only used in 
Apple sites since it is naturally not w3 css. There are also more 
intriguing rules like


-khtml-line-break

Oddly enough, a right click allows WebKit to search for the clicked term 
as a Google string - useful enough as Google finds _nothing_. I would 
love to play around with these, but apparently they are completely 
undocumented in the public arena (aka the internet)!


Regarding my original bug which prompted all this, it reads (by the 
inspector) as if it shouldn't be (unless, of course, the -khtml comments 
mean something significant). I may, heaven forbid, resort to hacking 
Safari to give it uglier specification for the element in question. I 
seem to remember there is a weird selection method involving seemingly 
banal child-of-parent-of-child-of etc. specification.


Regards,
Barney

You're right. It is still a little obscure, isn't it?

[WSG] FF understands body:last-child

2006-11-16 Thread Barney Carroll

Anybody know about this?

body:last-child ... {}

I saw this a while back and chuckled, but today I found cause to use it. 
It's supposedly a hack for WebKit browsers (I don't understand how there 
could be any ambiguity over what the last child of the body could be, 
but there you go). I've seen examples of such rules only being picked up 
by my Safari, with everything else I've got ignoring it - however when I 
applied it myself it was picked up by Safari and my Firefox.


Any idea why this is?

Long, long ago - well, within the last few years - there was a  
general belief that styling of form controls was a Bad Thing from a  
usability perspective, as it meant the user got an experience with  
web form controls that wasn't consistent with the appearance of such  
controls within their operating system. A number of cutting-edge and  
utterly horrible examples of over-the-top styling of form controls by  
too-enthusiastic designers helped to reinforce the idea that it  
shouldn't be done.


In particular, Safari has always enforced the idea that a checkbox  
(for example) is going to look-and-feel exactly the same in a web  
page as it does in any other part of the OS user interface.


Now that we've all grown up a bit, and (much more importantly) we  
also know that (with appropriate usability considerations by  
designers) users don't have a problem with pretty form controls, it  
is generally accepted that it is an OK thing when done in moderation.  
Even Apple/the Safari team have accepted this, and the next version  
of Safari will be much more permissive of widget styling, by  
providing a mechanism to relax the enforcing of OS conventions  
through the W3C standard method of providing vendor-specific CSS  
extensions.


Dave Hyatt, who left Mozilla to become lead developer (or something -  
don't know his actual title) on Safari, has blogged about it:

It depends what you mean by W3C CSS. The CSS spec allows for vendor- 
specific extension properties of the form shown; so it is in fact  
fully compliant with W3C CSS:


http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#q4

although it is, by definition, not one of the CSS properties  
specified by the W3C (which I assume was what you meant).


I'm not sure what the validator does with this kind of by-the-spec  
extension property but, if it flags it as an error rather than a  
warning, it's (IMHO) a flaw in the validator:


CSS implementations may not recognize such properties and may ignore  
them according to the rules for handling parsing errors

I think form elements suffered a similar kind of fate as tables (ie 
branded css-incompatible). The monstrous symptoms of this that I bump 
into daily are a) form elements styled by html in otherwise valid sites 
b) forms designed for Safari users that fall apart visually when viewed 
otherwise c) unbearable amounts of chrome and glowing blue when 
navigating with Safari.


It's not an inevitability, but I'm sure there's a stigma out there in 
the minds of designers who think that forms mean either give up all hope 
of a controlled design or make improper use of html.


The project I am working on is highly stylised with plenty of circles 
and rounded edges everywhere - during the design process my co-designer 
sketched up visions for various templates, and got screen caps off her 
mac to simulate form elements - this actually chimed very well with our 
design, and would have been very close to how she would have seen the 
site on her setup with the forms left vanilla. On PC however, the 
visuals were horrible. Eventually, Peter Ned saved my life by developing 
a script that replaced buttons with anchors that retained all the key 
functionality:


http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/blog/accessibleform.html

For some people this presents a semantic obstacle... But I wouldn't have 
my site without this.
