Re: RISC OS Javascript support
Thankyou for all your feedback. As some of you discovered there was no user interface to enable javascript so you would need to add: enable_javascript:1 to your configuration manually. It seems that the RISC OS edition of spidermonkey is failing to even initialise as can be seen within the log as: javascript/jsapi.c js_initialise 39: New runtime handle 0x0 which effectively means the javascript support is disabled and will not be able to use any script code on this platform (many of your examples work fine on the Linux platforms being used for development). If time permits I may look into this further but as I have limited access to RISC OS systems myself and the platform maintainer is currently not active I cannot promise progress in the immediate future. Sorry this was not more useful at this time but I do feel progress is being made albeit slowly. -- Regards Vincent http://www.kyllikki.org/

At the very least it's a start, and a lot sooner than we had all expected. Many thanks for the work so far, and looking forward to progress when it's possible, and not before!

I found that adding that line (enable_javascript:1) to my Choices file /dis/abled javascript: commenting it out restored the status quo (i.e., partial operation of js). I'm running the #727 build.

You may know this already: this is a string in "JSON" format. It's used to
"serialise" or "flatten" one or more simple or hierarchical / structured
variables into one long string of characters which can be sent somewhere and
then parsed to recreate that set of variables. It's a bit more complicated
than just a series of name/value pairs.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON
and: http://www.json.org/
There's a useful utility at: http://amfview.org which lets you upload a file
(or provide the URL of one), containing AMF3 or JSON or XML data, & then it
will display the contained data in either plain text or as an expandable/
collapsable tree structure.
(I found this website when trying to make sense of the data.dat files that
are downloaded as part of BBC iPlayer file sets; they contain AMF3 which has
a similar prpose to JSON but is quite a lot more complicated, containing
binary flags describing data attributes and allowing elimination of
duplicate substrings from what gets transmitted). AMF3 is an Adobe data
format used by Flash applications.)
