XML Error Reporting II
XML Error Reporting II
01/22/2004 03:30 PMResponding to comments in the previous blog entry:
(1) Some people thought this was a hacked expat. Darin actually
switched Safari over to libxml2, so the error messages you're seeing
(as well as the ability to continue parsing) are all built in to
libxml2.
(2) Do you think it's better to show the page only up to the first
error or to try to display the entire page (with the understanding
that what follows the first error could be very badly mangled)?
(3) Often there are a lot of meaningless errors after the first. I
could put a cap on the number of displayed errors to deal with this
problem or just not worry about it. What do people think?
(4) Those of you who suggested drawers for errors, remember a
drawer is a UI element in Safari and not WebKit. This feature should
just work out of the box for WebKit clients, so I'm inclined not to
use drawers or sheets, but to just display the errors at the top of
the page.
XML Error Reporting III
XML Error Reporting III
01/24/2004 02:50 PMThanks to those of you who answered my question regarding how much
of an invalid page should be rendered. It turns out that the XML spec
is clear on this issue, and that I must stop building up the page DOM
after the first fatal error is encountered.
With that in mind I now tell libxml to continue the processing, but
I start ignoring all of the callbacks. That way I get a list of all
the errors, but properly stop the DOM tree buildup after the first
error.
For those of you who suggested that WebKit needs some sort of error
reporting API, I agree, and if it had one, these errors would
obviously be reported to it. However, these errors still have to be
reported aggressively so that WebKit clients can't mask these
mistakes.
I don't believe in showing a sheet or a dialog as an intermediate
step prior to displaying a rendering of the page. The reason I
dislike this idea is that this error reporting is primarily a Web
developer feature, and they're just going to want to load the page,
see the errors, maybe correct some CSS at the same time, and then
reload with changes until the error report has been eliminated.
The end user isn't ever going to see this report, since anyone who
makes an invalid XML file right now ends up with something that won't
display in any browser. Thus it seems to me that the report should be
easy to access (in terms of # of clicks), always visible, and included
with the page rendering.
I have polished the look of the report a bit based off suggestions.
Here's another screenshot.
Obtrusive XML Error Reporting
Obtrusive XML Error Reporting
01/22/2004 04:10 AMI spent some time tinkering with XML today and decided to try out a
non-draconian approach to XML error recovery. Point the browser of
your choice at the following XHTML URL:
http://www.faireal.net/soft/browser/XHTML-In
validator?Content-Type=application/xhtml+xml
If you try this in Mozilla, you should get something like this:
Screenshot
In current versions of Safari, you get something even worse, since
you don't even get any line/col information.
What I implemented in my build (it's still just at the tinkering
stage remember, so be gentle) is error recovery for non-fatal errors,
i.e., the XML parser continues and attempts to recover from the error,
and then I still build the DOM for the XML.
Once the parser is finished, I then display the Web page, but with
a badge of shame, namely an error report at the top that lists all of
the discovered errors. This is not a halt-at-first-error system,
which is cool, since it means you'll see *all* the errors in your page
and not just one.
Here's a screenshot of what I
have so far. The error report is just XHTML as well (shoehorned in at
the top using DOM calls), so if you have any ideas of how I could
style it to make it look really cool, show me your screenshots.
Let me know what you think of this idea. Do you like it better
than draconian error handling? If you dislike it, let me know
why!

06/28/2004 02:52 PMKarelia Software
announced on
Monday that it has licensed the technology in its Web utility
Watson to an undisclosed
"large company." Karelia will continue to support and maintain the
application until Oct. 5, at which time it expects the technology's
new owner to announce a cross-platform product to which existing
Watson users can migrate. Watson will reach the end of its life cycle
on that date, and Karelia expects that some of its modules will cease
to function afterward because the Web sites they interact with change
frequently. Karelia expects such modules as eBay Watcher, Movies,
Package Tracker and Phone Listings "will likely stop functioning in
the near- to mid-term," while such modules as Epicurious,
PriceGrabber, Amazon.com and VersionTracker "may indeed function for a
long time (because their Web site is fairly stable or we are using XML
Web Services)." The company also notes that, after Oct. 5, it "will be
happy to provide Watson users with other forms of support (diagnosing
crashes and conflicts, helping with lost registration codes, and so
forth)."

Watson bids Sherlock farewell
Watson bids Sherlock farewell
09/25/2004 11:37 AMWhen Apple took the wraps off Jaguar in 2001, one of the features that
garnered the most amount of criticism was the new and improved
Sherlock, which Steve toted as "Internet services for the rest of
us." Sherlock 3 incorporated mini browsers into OS X, which
brought commonly-used, customizable information to a user’s
fingertips:
<I>Sherlock is dramatically better than standard Web browsers at
retrieving and displaying some of the most practical and useful
information available on the Internet, like stock news, general
headlines, movie previews, locations and show times, yellow pages
listings, eBay auction activity and much, much more. Sherlock displays
each of these 'channels' in its own arrangement of columns and
panes.</I>
The only problem was, it already existed.
Of course, arguments can be made for both sides, and a case can
certainly be made for a logical evolution of Sherlock, but the fact
remains that Watson and Sherlock 3 accomplish the same tasks with
similar interfaces. Over the last three years, Watson and Sherlock
have coexisted in the same space — like Google and Yahoo, or Vienna
Fingers and Oreo Uh-Ohs!, users were left to choose between brand
recognition, color, taste, size, shape and speed.
And as of next Tuesday, it'll be all gone. Watson support will be
dropped (and it looks like its buyer, Sun, won't be releasing its own
port anytime soon). Its tools will be left to fester and whither while
Sherlock quietly rests on the top of the heap.
It seems that Apple has won and can now focus on its upcoming fight
with the Konfabulator crew. Perhaps things could’ve been different if
Apple had approached Watson’s creator Dan Wood and offered him some
compensation — or a job.
For many of you, Oct. 5 will come and go without a second glance.
Sherlock will still be there when you’re looking for a bite to eat or
are in the mood for a late-night movie. For the rest of us, who have
seen the dust accumulate on Sherlock since it stopped searching our
hard drive, the decline and demise of Watson will be a fond memory
that will always hold place in our computing history, marking one of
the few who refused to back down in the face of a corporate shadow,
and showed third-party developers everywhere that just because someone
else can do it, doesn't mean they can do it better.
On behalf of Watson users everywhere, Mr. Wood, we await your next
creation.
