- Notes from Chris Blizzard
- Can't use width and height to style form control (would be simple and well-understood - could set a minimum size as well)
- No obvious visual way to clear file value (can do with a button)
- Use the cancel button in the dialog to clear the value?
- Instead of using a text box, use a simple box
- Need docs on how to use file dialog + XHR + progress (see the blog for a code snippit)
- 3/6/2009 - http://observationpoint.org/articles/2009/03/06/multiple-file-upload-support-in-safari-4-public-beta/
- Multiple file upload
- Do we have a bug open on this?
- 4/28/2009 - Matt Mullenweg - uploads suck, show a progress dialog or something even not in content
- Chunked Uploading (arun)
- Drag and drop from another web page and desktop
- 6/15/2009 - binary chunked downloads
- Byte range binary requests?

- Chris Double looking for feedback on ideas
Network Performance (Downloading)
- Example: zip file to download a huge number of images
- Degrades nicely and is simple
- Multipart (from Christian)
Clipboard
- 2/23/2009 - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407983
- Reported by Dion
- Can't get clipboard data like IE and WebKit
- Nice blog post from Dion. (added by sethb, Dion is not self promoting.)
DOM Events
- DOMContentLoaded is firing early
- Affects dojo
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444322
- Reproducable with Firebug installed very easy
- http://gchris.googlepages.com/444322.html
Offline Data Access
- Google Gears Database: http://code.google.com/apis/gears/api_database.html
- HTML5 SQL: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#sql
- DOM Storage
- https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM/Storage
- http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#structured-client-side-storage
- we don't implement localStorage yet - looking to include it in 3.1?
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=422526
- http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/browse_thread/thread/4e63eb60878b81ba#
- Offline Resources in Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Offline_resources_in_Firefox (not exactly data access but is an important part.)
- Wordpress - failed to make it into 2.8 - need to understand what they wanted (sounded like caching hints.)
Video
- Can't load from local file? (willyaranda on irc)
- To have an access to the "pixels" of a video (via canvas) in a file:// context, this option is needed: security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy: false
- Dailymotion
-
ontimeupdate="foo()" works, but addEventListener("timeupdate", ..) does notFIXED - buffered not implemented: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462957
-
- Would be really nice to be able to pre-buffer specific clips and make it possible to switch between them seamlessly. Would need to be able to have progress events, explicitly pre-buffer and then have a way to specify moving from one clip to the next seamlessly. (We do something similar with images we can pre-buffer.)
Tools
JSON
- http://www.wait-till-i.com/2009/02/28/ttmmhtm-truth-about-social-networks-crayon-pixels-jsonview-and-wireless-electricity/
- Some good notes on JSON stuff in here
- http://brh.numbera.com/blog/index.php/2009/02/24/jsonview-view-json-documents-in-firefox/
- This might be nice to have native - Christian is right
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10122
- Colorizes and Prettifies JSON that's viewed.
CSS
- text-overflow ellipsis - when are we going to be able to support it? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312156
- Color Management per page so CSS colors are interpreted in the neutral (PCS) color space instead of the output device color space:
Canvas
- no fallback content when JS is disabled in canvas elements - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302566
