It has a couple of bugs... sometimes it's hard to type in text (for example it took several attempts to get the browser to type in my name and password and sometimes typing in text for a new message thread or reply can be tricky, i.e. the text doesn't always appear or there can be a delay in seeing the characters appear on the screen)  However, the rendering is very good (although I have only been using it for 15 minutes :) )

Keep up the great work guys!

this is know, and if you know what problem is, you can avoid.for example make sure when you want type text in, that the page is in top left postion.(press cursor up and cursor left until no move can see)

But as told netsurf is much rearrange due to google code of summer project.the sdl stuff come now in a lib called libnsfb.so best is wait wait some weeks until rearrange is finish.

when a user have AOS 3.5 or 3.9 he can install genesis.
only what need is a
assign amitcp: your_genesis dir

You need not go online with genesis, you can use miami as before, there are only some files in amitcp: dir need

--

when scroll full down on a site that have for example 500 lines and then
press the back button to show a page that have only 40 lines.Then is
nothing show.seem cursor pos is not set back to show page at line 0.only
when press some time cursor up, then content is show

--

there is no cursor show in textinput fields

--

when add a internet address and press return, the new page is load, when
then press cursor to scroll the page, wired chars are then show in page
string gadget.i think after press return, the input gadget should leave.
only help is after type in link click outside string gadget

--

the Text input in a Page show no text during type when the page is scroll
before.
it work only when the page is in top left position.

Let me know when it's better than the last release of iBrowse running on an 030 and I'll switch over :)


its no question if better or not, its a question if the pages you use are show correct.

when you surf only amiga pages that are build to not use CSS, then all is ok, but when you want show pages that are not show in ibrowse correct, or are unusable, then ibrowse does not help.

i get report that some pages are show faster with netsurf than with ibrowse, but i thinbk because processing CSS cost speed, and ibrowse or aweb ignore it, then pages are faster show in general because the pages look complete diffrent without CSS able browser.

that 64 megabyte are not enough is maybe because of cacheing.unix have no commands to check for availible mem.

i ask in netsurf ML how low mem handler work on netsurf.
normaly when netsurf run out of mem it can clear the content of previous pages.

>It took up all my available ram (64MB) though, after loading a page >or two.

what pages you are load ?

I play a little with big pages and click many links, and i notice it uses around 32 megabytes.I use a netsurf window size of 1000*900 and 32 bit.with 16 bit memory usage should be lower.

so a 64 megabyte system seem have enough mem for netsurf.

Dear Amiga people,

I am trying to install the NetSurf browser (v 2.7) on an emulated version of Worbench 3.1 (latest version of WinUAE), and I am running into problems.

First and foremost, when trying to access any website, I get a “Could not resolve host” error message at the bottom of the browser. Please see screenshot here.

I have ticked the bdsocket.library option. In fact other browsers (iBrowse, aWeb) can access the web fine.

I note your comment regarding AmiTCP, and the fact that I need to copy the usergroup.library file to AmiTCP:lib. I believe I have done this correctly, since the “Please insert volume AmiTCP in any drive” message goes away. Also when I type the command “dir AmiTCP:lib” it lists the usergroup.library file, as expected (again see same screenshot above)

So where am I going wrong?

Also I have another problem: in the browser window itself, when clicking on most of the controls at the top (address bar, etc.) I get an “Abort trap – Netsurf” error Window. The window is entitled “ixemul.library”. Again I believe I have installed the correct version in the right place.

I would appreciate any help or comments. Let me know if you need any more information from me (versions, screenshots etc,)

Thanks a lot! :)

Alix


normaly it should work.if a reboot do not help, you can look with snoopdos, if it fail some lib to open.
