[rkward-devel] shiny in RKWard

[Thomas Friedrichsmeier]

Hi,

I think we're looking at at least two separate issues, then.

If I'm looking at the online example, only, that
- works fine in firefox/chromium/rekonq/arora
- works find in konqueror 4.9.5, if webkit is used as rendering engine
- does not work in konqueror 4.9.5, if KHTML is used as rendering engine
- cannot be opened inside RKWard, because it is not a local url, and RKWard 
will refuse to open non-local urls, embedded
(If I try to save the example locally, it is broken in any browser).

So that seems to mean that KHTML is not capable of rendering the example, at 
least in version 4.9.5.

If I'm trying to run examples locally (started from within RKWard), that
- works when using an external firefox/chromium instance
- does not work when using konqueror with webkit-engine, externally
- does not work when using konqueror with KHTML-engine, externally
- does not work in external rekonq or arora instances
- does not work when opened inside RKWard

So aparently:
a) KHTML < 4.10 has problems with this in general. This might be fixable by 
allowing to use webkit-rendering inside RKWard (I have an incomplete patch for 
this, locally), or updating KHTML.
b) Something is different between the online example, and the local examples. 
This difference causes a problem for all KDE browsers, but not for firefox / 
chromium.

I guess b is likely a bug in shiny.

Of course that might be interesting for diagnostics, indeed.

Thomas
