May 2005 Archives
I’ve been “hiding” at XTech. So has smaug, and some of the US guys have been on vacation, so activity has been rather low.
Checked in
We checked in two fixes for Mark Seaborne’s presentation at XTech:
support for “inline” alerts (bug 294277)
alerts being sent to valid ancestors (bug 294676)
And I bumped the minimum version for the XPI file to 1.0+ this morning (bug 285094)
In Progress
We’ve got superreview on the new XTF+XBL design (bug 291026), and smaug is working on the widget support (bug 289434)
Support for evaluating XPath expressions with specific context position and size has gotten superreview (bug 292841). This will make it possibly for us to support f.x. position() properly (bug 265460).
Pseudo class handling still crawling (bug 271720)
… and now to see a doctor to see how much I trashed my foot playing squash this morning. It’s not feeling (or looking) all well :-( But as glazou wrote “fortunately, you don’t code with your feet” :-)
Last week I was at the XTech conference in Amsterdam. That was a good experience. I met a lot of the people in the Mozilla community in person for the first time. IRC, IM, e-mail, etc. are good tools and a good way to communicate, but meeting people in person still beats it (luckily :-) ).
I also saw a good deal of interesting talks. All the talks I went to were between “ok” and “pretty good”. With one exception though. As opposed to glazou. I think Paoli’s talk was immensely boring. He said a few interesting things, but the rest was a MS sales pitch. Not what I had expected from a closing keynote.
glazou has put pictures of a lot of the Mozilla people, including me, in his blog post btw. Thanks for that Daniel!
I had a couple of days of touristing before the conference, and I must say that Amsterdam is a very nice city (pictures here). I loved all the small old canalhouses, the canals, narrow streets, etc. There’s also restaurants and cafees by the hundreds. Nice ambience and “walking-friendly”. I can recommend taking a couple of days off to see the city. I look forward to going back.
Checked in
We were not always validating the schema type of instance nodes on initialization (bug 292915)
Fix timing problems we had when
<model>was not the first element (bug 283737)Only send
xforms-value-changed, etc. events to correct controls, not everything (bug 293579)
In Progress
The attribute handling patch is ready, we just need approval (bug 235512)
Support “inline” alerts (bug 294277)
The rest is almost the same as last week:
We are waiting for superreview on the new XTF+XBL design (bug 291026), so we can get the widgets working (bug 289434)
Pseudo class handling still crawling (bug 271720)
Support for evaluating XPath expressions with specific context position and size is waiting for superreview (bug 292841). This will make it possibly for us to support f.x.
position()properly (bug 265460).
Related stuff
Next week, I’ll be in Amsterdam for the XTech conference. Lot’s of XForms and Mozilla guys showing up. I’m looking forward to that.
Checked in
We were not refreshing the controls if we replaced the instance on
<submission>(bug 292616)<setindex>was not working properly for for nested repeats (bug 289547). This removes anyidattributes from the cloned repeat content, which ensures that the id is unique (or at least not less unique than before we started messing with the DOM :) )Set trust for XForms events (bug 292319)
Emit error messages when something fails the “same origin” security check (bug 292724)
Fixed two issues with MIP properties (
readonly,relevant, etc.) with<repeat>content. First, MIPs were not applied at all to the content (bug 292089). Second, we not apply the MIP for the context node for “repeat rows” (bug 292725). This means the entire repeat row content matches f.x.:readonly(or rather[readonly]for now).

We are waiting for superreview on the new XTF+XBL design (bug 291026), so we can get the widgets working (bug 289434)

Waiting for second round of superreview on the attribute handling (bug 235512)

position()properly (bug 265460).Fix timing problems for bindings when f.x. the model is not the first defined element (bug 283737)
XForms on Minimo
Aaron has gotten XForms working on minimo:
That’s pretty cool I think.
Current Status
I’ve also updated the status page on moz.org, so it should reflect the current code status.
Checked in
Fixed most of the issues we had with the use of
index()(bug 289534 and bug 291797). It is still not working properly for<bind>elements yet though (bug 292333)Added debug printing to console of xforms errors (bug 291935)
In Progress
Fix MIP properties not being set on
<repeat>content (bug 292089)Fix trust level for XForms events (bug 292319)
We are waiting for review on the new XTF+XBL design (bug 291026), so we can get the widgets working (bug 289434)
Still waiting for feedback on the pseudo classes (bug 271720)
Waiting for second round of sr on the attribute handling (bug 235512)
For the first time I’m actually looking into
<submit>and<submission>, so there might be some bugs coming up there :-)
