To be clear, we aren't running some idealistic enterprise where we value standards compliance over real world usefulness. Indeed Opera has historically been more willing to implement IE quirks than other browsers, a policy that has recently

> Opera would be great if it handled nonstandard html gracefully for me We put a huge amount of effort into handling "nonstandard" html, including fixing the standards so that they represent the reality of what browsers have to handle.

Yes, but there is still a node that has an event listener on, and it is quite possible to display that in developer tools. Opera Dragonfly already does this, for example. What's not possible is for the browser to know that the event handler

Technically there is still only one "HTML5" standard; the W3C one. WHATWG are editing the "HTML Living Standard". Unlike the W3C model, there aren't version numbers or set phases that the spec must go through. Instead there is a process of

Oh, so 1:1 between processes and event loops? Doesn't that mean that something blocking in one tab (alert(), sync XHR) might will block tasks in any entirely unrelated tab that just happens to share a process/event loop? That seems rather u

I think multiple "units of related browsing context" [1] would be more accurate; unless I am wrong Chrome uses at most one process per event loop and has one event loop for each set of browsing contexts that can reach each other via the DOM

FWIW we have the "wand" feature which will fill in, and submit, a form for you with previously used values (it's the key icon on the toolbar or ctrl+enter). I know this is not quite the same implementation that other browsers have.

Do you have a better proposal? The use cases it needs to address are mostly documented at [1] although there are some missing (people are currently putting together a wiki page [2]) e.g. in order for image prefetching to work the decision o

That is a very appealing design, but sadly it doesn't address all the use cases. In particular one thing that people want to be able to do is to display a different image depending on the viewport dimensions, for example a closer crop on

Because I was making a specific point about the implementation complexity of things that depend on attributes vs things that depend on many elements.
16.
by hoppipolla 14y ago
This doesn't modify parsing. Modifying parsing would be something like allowing <img> to have child elements. Adding extra attributes to an element requires no changes to the parser.

by hoppipolla 14y ago
From an implementation point of view, putting everything in a single attribute is way simpler; the design of <video> is quite problematic. The reason is that with a single attribute everything can be processed atomically. With a des

Long experience of contacting sites suggests that it is, at best, of limited effectiveness. At Opera we have a not-insubstantial team dedicated to developer outreach who frequently contact sites that are broken in Opera and give them help t

The DOM and ECMAScript both assume that strings are sequences of UTF-16 codepoints. So while a browser could use non-UTF-16 internally it wouldn't help much because you would have to convert to UTF-16 in all the externally-facing APIs anywa

It is worth taking this with a liberal sprinkling of salt. The first problem is that there is no documentation of method. It appears that the results were obtained by simply running JSLint on itself once. Without some indication of how the
