  88. # [09:49] <gsnedders> So trying to use testharness.js, I want a bunch of tests to run after an iframe has loaded. How do I do this?
  89. # [09:50] <annevk> invoke a function from onload that invokes test.step
  90. # [09:51] <annevk> see the XHR test cases, they deal with asynchronous tests
  91. # [09:53] <gsnedders> But I thought test.step only reported one test back, and if the test object has already failed, it gives up.
  92. # [09:55] <annevk> test.step just makes sure exceptions are caught within the test framework
  93. # [09:55] <annevk> it does not do any reporting

  212. # [18:05] <AryehGregor> Philip`, tcpcrypt adds no latency if the other side doesn't support it. It adds one round-trip on the first connection to a server if both sides support it, but the resulting secret can be cached, so not every connection.
  213. # [18:21] <AryehGregor> Okay, Firefox 4's "switch to tab" feature is really annoying.

  284. # [21:44] <AryehGregor> At least one.
  285. # [21:44] <AryehGregor> He did write "smile" instead of ":)", though. Apparently because his screen-reader read ":)" as "colon right parenthesis" or something.
  286. # [21:44] <AryehGregor> Emoticons are kind of fail for blind people, I guess.
  287. # [21:45] <Dashiva> I've been wondering about that
  288. # [21:45] <Dashiva> I would assume the basic smileys are pervasive enough that screen readers would handle them, but at the same time I keep hearing about how screen readers don't support so many apparently obvious things
  289. # [21:46] <AryehGregor> Presumably the screen-reader could translate, just like some IM programs annoyingly translate them to images.
  290. # [21:46] <AryehGregor> But yeah, screen-readers seem to just be garbage.
  291. # [21:46] <Dashiva> (Or not necessary don't support, but hide it behind non-default settings)
  292. # [21:47] <AryehGregor> Maybe there are too few blind people to lend them to much competition, or maybe they have to focus all their resources on heuristics to decide what text to read instead of how to read it, or something.
  293. # [21:47] <AryehGregor> But reading bold and italics the same as regular text? That just seems . . . I dunno.
  294. # [21:47] <Dashiva> Especially since replacing <i> and <b> was phrased by many (not all, of course) as an accessibility thing
  295. # [21:48] <annevk> gregory told me the other day he uses some kind of weird config file to make a mapping from :-) to "smile"
  296. # [21:48] <annevk> which seems annoying

  298. # [21:48] <Dashiva> "emoticon: left-facing noseless smiling face"
  299. # [21:49] <Dashiva> I bet unicode has good descriptions we could reuse
  300. # [21:49] <AryehGregor> Emoticons must be pretty opaque if you've been blind your whole life.
  301. # [21:49] <AryehGregor> (presumably not if you lost your sight later in life)
  302. # [21:49] <AryehGregor> Although I guess you can figure out from context eventually.
  303. # [21:49] <Dashiva> I actually have that problem as a non-disabled user

  305. # [21:50] <Dashiva> I ran into ({) earlier this week
  306. # [21:51] <AryehGregor> Oh, well, that's because they're really writing in some markup language that just masquerades as plaintext.
  307. # [21:52] <Dashiva> Unicode will save us
  308. # [21:52] <AryehGregor> Actually, it includes explicit markup for things like bold, so why doesn't it mark up smilies explicitly?

  330. # [21:58] <AryehGregor> hendry, you can do SVG with an img tag in all reasonably recent browsers that support SVG, except Firefox 3.x. Firefox supports it in 4.0.
  331. # [21:58] <AryehGregor> For earlier Firefox versions, you have to use <object> or <iframe>, IIRC.

  368. # [22:05] <hendry> Hixie: i doubt http://nightly.mozilla.org/ updates on Linux

  371. # [22:05] <AryehGregor> I've used nightlies on Linux and they don't seem to auto-update.
  372. # [22:05] <AryehGregor> Chrome gives me a .deb that installs a software source that shows up with all the other updates.
  373. # [22:05] <AryehGregor> That's how it should be done.
  374. # [22:06] <Hixie> oh you have to install it locally, it won't do it using the package thingy, yeah

  381. # [22:07] <AryehGregor> Well, it doesn't for me when I've used it.
  382. # [22:07] <Hixie> at least it did for me when i used linux desktop years ago
  383. # [22:07] <AryehGregor> Maybe their Linux support has regressed.
  384. # [22:07] <hendry> AryehGregor: not getting much luck with http://svg.dabase.com/object.html either. doh.
  385. # [22:08] <AryehGregor> hendry, works for me in Firefox 4, although the picture is cut off.
  386. # [22:09] <AryehGregor> I'd test in Firefox 3.6, but of course, Firefox doesn't let me run two different versions at once unless I jump through hoops like make new profiles or something, which I'm not interested enough to do.
  387. # [22:09] <AryehGregor> (Chrome doesn't let you run two different versions at once, but its versions are only ever separated by like a month or two of development time, so it's not really necessary.)
  388. # [22:09] <AryehGregor> I guess I'll still with trying out Firefox 4 until its final release before I decide whether to switch back to Chrome.
