The issue here is that the nsgtk frontend does not implement the select
box form widget.

We intend to do this, but it may be a while before we can get it done.

In the meantime, if you continue to try NetSurf as your primary browser,
any other issues you encounter can be added to our issue tracker which
can only help to improve the future quality of the software.

Thank you very much for taking the time to evaluate NetSurf for Puppy
Linux, the project looks interesting (to me anyway) and I wish you luck.

Regards,

Daniel.

[netsurf] NetSurf for CUPS web interface

2007-09-07 Thread bkauler
Hi, I've just joined the list. I'm the lead developer for the
Puppy Linux project.

I'm testing NetSurf as the internal HTML viewer in Puppy, for
viewing the local HTML help files (all our help is HTML, we
don't have man pages). Works well.

What would really clinch it though is if I could also use
NetSurf for the CUPS printing web interface. It is started by:
 netsurf http://localhost:631/
And it comes up okay, but when I choose to add a printer, a
drop-down list does not display -- only the first entry in the
list displays.

NetSurf and Puppy Linux would be a very good match, as Puppy is
all about small size -- the live-CD is only 94MB. See more at:
http://www.puppylinux.com  We rate about 17 at distrowatch.

If NetSurf could work with CUPS, that would really cement it as
the best choice for Puppy. I was wondering if the developers could
consider that as a priority to support for the next release.
