2006-09-23 00:03 UTC Tag Soup: innerHTML interoperability (or lack thereof)

I wrote a "simple" test.

I then tested five browsers: IE7b3, Firefox (20060921 trunk), Safari (2.0.4 and Webkit Fri Sep 22 14:05:47 GMT 2006), and Opera 9.

I got five different results.

IE

  • HTML
    • HEAD
      • TITLE
      • SCRIPT
    • BODY
Firefox
  • DOCTYPE: html
  • HTML
    • TITLE
      • #text: A
    • #text: B
    • BODY
      • #text: 0
Safari (latest released version)
  • HTML
    • TITLE
      • #text: A
    • #text: B
    • HEAD

I went to Burning Man.

I went LARPing in the UK and saw family.

I went on a houseboat trip.

I saw various friends.

Now it's time to get back to my regularly scheduled hobbies.

I will be away for the next three weeks, mostly without internet access. (In fact, mostly without even running water.)

Hopefully by the time I get back XBL2 and CSS2.1 will have been published as Last Call and Candidate Recommendation drafts respectively.

I've unsubscribed from a bunch of mailing lists and disabled mail from a bunch of bug systems, so if there's anything you want me to see, forward it to me. I doubt I'll look at anything but mail sent directly to me and a few key lists (like the WHATWG list) when I get back.

2006-08-23 00:29 UTC Extending HTML4 Forms: Web Forms 2.0 at the W3C

What started almost three years ago as a proof of concept, showing that it was possible to extend HTML4, has now reached the level of W3C Working Draft.

I wasn't actually pushing for this spec to get published by the W3C (recent events are symptomatic of why), but it got published anyway. I'll take that as a compliment.

The best part of all this, though, is that I managed to get the word "frankensteinesque" onto the /TR/ page!

Incidentally, I don't think I mentioned this, but XBL2 also made it to the W3C recently (in June, in fact). I've readied the draft for a last call, so hopefully that will happen in the coming weeks. (I added like a bazillion examples. I sure hope you all like them.)

2006-08-22 11:54 UTC Sqawk

At 4:30am this morning, one of my computers beeped really loudly, waking me. I ignored it and tried to go back to sleep. It beeped again. I muted both of them. The beep happened again. A bird or insect or something had entered my room and was squawking for a mate. It was hidden behind my computer. No, behind the lamp. No. Insects don't beep exactly every 33 seconds. The smoke detector low battery alarm was going off. At 4:30am. ☀✭❖◐‬✺▣◆!‬
