A test of some things I haven’t had a chance to see for myself in the wild.

#!/usr/bin/ruby

class Greet
   def initialize(name)
      @name = name
   end
   def to_s
      "Hello, #{@name}!"
   end
end

hi_mom = Greet.new("Mom")
trad = Greet.new("world")
west_coast = Greet.new("sailor")

puts hi_mom.to_s
puts trad
puts "#{west_coast}"

Ruby is my favorite OO language. :slight_smile:

(Example made needlessly complex to show off OO functionality.)

Output:


Hello, Mom!
Hello, world!
Hello, sailor!

Everything works. Mozilla is more standards-compliant than Opera, and it supports tabbed browsing. :smiley:

3

True, but there’s nothing standards-compliant about those vBulletin features you just tested.

4

Phoenix 0.5 is my latest browser of choice, and it does not display the “reply window” properly on preview. It looks fine intially, but gets all scrunch when i preview a reply.

Still, I like it a lot. No more damn popups!

5

Mars Horizon, that’s how it’s supposed to appear. Netscape does the same thing.

6

What’s noncompliant about my examples?

7

Mars: Mozilla does the same thing, too: Mozilla, Netscape, Phoenix, Galeon, and some others all use the same rendering engine called Gecko. Gecko is designed to be a portable rendering engine multiple browsers can build on, so every browser has the same level of standards-compliance and base functionality. There is a lot of information about building a browser on top of Gecko at Mozdev.

Derleth: They make heavy use of the deprecated Font tag.

Also, looking at the code, I see that the Img tag for the smiley has an attribute: alt="". While this does comply strictly, it sort of defeats the purpose of the alt attribute.
