We need documentation!!!
There needs to be higher standards on documentation. I think it is too bad there is not more documentation. I know that most developers don't enjoy writing documentation, but we really need it. How many people here have had trouble writing code and have been set back for days because something wasn't documented correctly? It should be the first priority of the Mozilla open source project to provide adequate documentation to developers. If more quality docs were written, the following would occur: 1) Mozilla would get more developers - people would be more happy to help if they knew where to start. They wouldn't get discouraged and quit due to the lack of documentation 2) Code would get written faster - people wouldn't be stumped for a long time, trying to figure out someone else's code. 3) Other developers wouldn't be asked as many questions, and people would know more before they asked the questions - People could actually say "Look at the docs" without sentencing someone to their death. On a side note, I think there could be a Mozilla documentation request system that collects requests for documentation and sorts them by module/subsystem/etc. Is it possible we could freeze the tree after Mozilla 1.0 is released in order for all the developers to document their modules and subsystems they work on? (Possibly for a couple weeks?)

Automatically set text size to 120% on startup?
The first thing I do when firing up Mozilla is to set the text size to 120%. For some reason, this gets me readable text where setting the font sizes in Preferences doesn't. (This is on a RedHat v7.1 system.) Is there a way to *automatically* have Mozilla set the text to 120% on startup? A related question: is there any doc on the command line switches, if any, that Mozilla recognizes? Thanks.

Re: Mozilla .9 Segmentation fault in Ximian Gnome.
Well,
Installing from the .gz didn't help. I uninstalled the version that
came in the rpm format then I installed from the .gz to the default
/usr/local/mozilla. I added this to the path in /etc/bashrc so
everyone would see this directory from the icons already pointing to
'mozilla' on the Gnome menus. When I run this as root or su Mozilla
comes up without a problem. When I run this a normal user I get the
same error: 'Segment fault'. The only difference is that the error is
more descriptive:
/usr/local/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla-bin
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/local/mozilla
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla:/usr/local/mozilla/plugins
LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla:/usr/local/mozilla/components

MOZ_TOOLKIT=
moz_debug=0
moz_debugger=
/usr/local/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh: line 72: 2937 Segmentation fault

Does anyone know what is going on here?

Problem w' window sizing
Greetings, I've implemented a sidebar window that displays a tree of items, and no matter what I do (boxes, decks, vboxes, tree classes, harded-coded heights, etc.) when the window is opened, the whole browser resizes vertically to about 1000 px. This happens even when there are very few or 0 items in the tree. Any help would be great (even a newsgroup who might reply to this query). Thanks much, /daniel

Re: Mozilla .9 Segmentation fault in Ximian Gnome.
I have noticed before that Mozilla likes to be run once as root on initial install. But except for some bad nightly builds I haven't had your problem. I would suggest downloading the .gz version unpacking it into it's mozilla directory then placing that somewhere like /usr/local/mozilla and point your launcher icon at this parallel installation. It's all contained in one directory so you don't gain much from the package management system. This probably will leave you with issues with the html viewer in Nautilus which I have even with a working install of .9 (debian unstable).

Re: exiting problem
How about- It sounds like you are crashing with this build/install. Try- 1. Uninstalling (confirm that the relevant directories are empty). 2. Delete your existing profile. Making sure you back up your bookmarks and your mail. 3. Reinstalling .9 or perhaps even a very recent nightly build. The nightly builds are a bit more likely to crash than a normal .9 install but they are fast and there have been some nice improvements all around. Just for comparision to your experience. .7 .8 .81 .9 Milestone builds on Window2k and Linux are able to run for days without problems in my experience.

Re: Netscape FTP URL parsing bug -Mozilla results
Mike, I have been able to use the URL ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/%2fpub%2fmozilla/nightly using a recent nightly build of Mozilla. Is this the URL that would not work for you with Netscape 4.x?

What do you think is the best way for someone with no knowlege of programming besides html to get involved with Mozilla, and how would i go about doing so. Thanks

Re: Mozilla .9 Segmentation fault in Ximian Gnome.
Mike, I did the same thing but I used the rpm's to update the existing rpm's on my Red Hat 7.0 install w/ the new Gnome 1.4 already installed. I even attempted to uninstall then re-install w/ no luck. I can run mozilla from a term window as a regular user only if they are logged in as 'su' or when 'root' logs in. Is this a Ximian Gnome error or a problem with rights for Mozilla or just a bug???

Try to set the table-width in the top frame to 690, and it´ll work fine in NN 4.7. But not in IE or NN6. One always have to compromise making sites with frames. If you use the following code instead, things will work out just perfect. Now, the content-frame is just one frame, in which you make a new frameset containing your nav-frame and your content-frame. Good luck! -- /McB |photographer|webdesigner|www.marcusb.cjb.net|
