5/26/2023 0 Comments Omniweb 5.0![]() ![]() Truth is, I find more sites render correctly under Mozilla on the Mac, even when they recommend IE. It does an awful job of rendering tables and is slow as molasses. I would hardly consider IE for Mac "fully functional". Much less do so without knowing the method behind the madness.Īs for "fully functional". It's pretty hard to justify purposely breaking your standards-compliant browser to mangle pages just like your competitor. Mozilla is free - they don't want your moneyĩ9% of the time, if you encounter a problem browsing the web with Mozilla, it is because some developer only tested against IE.For all we know, this is because of poor coding on the part of Apple's web people, not Mozilla. 2 Replies hellowalkman Gallery: This is Microsofts. I don't know who uses iCards on a regular basis, but it appears to work fine. Leaked AMD RX 6950 XT vBIOS suggests the card is more versatile than 6900 XT For macOS 10.12 (Sierra) and later, try the OmniWeb 6 test builds. For Mac OS X 10.4.8 (Tiger) to Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan), click the download button on the right for OmniWeb 5. Mozilla fully supports CSS1 and most of CSS2 (by fully, I mean it supports the W3C standard, not some half-assed implementation which forces developers to target their designs for certain browsers on certain platforms) OmniWeb is no longer actively maintained, but when it was under active development it was a powerful, award-winning, feature-rich alternative to mainstream web browsers.But for the benefit of others who may be looking for an honest opinion, let's debunk: Which is a big kick in the teeth, MS could atleast make their half assed attempt at browser software consistent across platforms. IE Mac doesn't even render pages as nicely as IE Win. If there are display errors then to hell with them. Now I write to HTML 4 or XHTML 1 standards and ensure it's basically viewable in IE. I've all but given up trying to write cross browser code that appears the same in all browsers. ![]() This means your layouts will not display the same in IE and destroys the advantage of using CSS for precise positioning of elements.Ĭonsider dropping down to using tables for layout? IE can totally ignore your width parameters in TD tags too, because it thinks it knows better than the author of the page who obviously doesn't know what they are doing or know what they want their page to look like IE's width is the width of the entire element borders, padding, and all. OmniWeb and Mozilla both support this correctly. According to W3.org the width is the inner width of an element excluding the widths of margins, borders and padding. The biggest pain in the ass is how they interpret the 'width' property of a block element. Hurrah, someone else who understands what they're talking about. The OmniGroup are very competent developers (see: OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner, the many games they've helped port, and all their other apps), and are a great asset for Apple's cause. So, my basic assessment is, yeah, OW is lacking right now, but given what the OmniGroup is promising for OW 5, I have great faith in it becoming the browser to beat all browsers. It shouldn't take 2 or 3 seconds for a new window to open when I type Cmd-N (and yeah, I could open a tab, but I've become really good at managing browser windows). For some reason, the whole MT back-end, which normally looks quite good, looks horrible in OW5. Frankly, Mozilla's interface is a deal breaker for me for extended use (and yes, I have the Navzilla skin installed and I'm using Silk to provide Quartz text rendering) because it's just too slow. Does anyone have any comments on OmniWeb 5.0I am going to reserve judgment and simply post comments to this entry as items pop up. It has a lot of cool features that other browsers don't (like the ability to block banner ads, a built in color-coded HTML editor, the ability to use Apple Spell Services (so that my typos in this post are underlined when I type them) and full use of sheets, drawers, and other cool Aqua widgets). However, I encourage you to not write off OmniWeb completely. The DataTables API is fully accessible through the data-wb-tables attribute using a JSON array.Yeah, I checked that out, you're right. Integrates the DataTables plugin into WET providing searching, sorting, filtering, pagination and other advanced features for tables. ![]()
