There are lots of widgets provided by sites that are effectively bits of JavaScript that generate HTML through DOM manipulation or document.write(). Rather than slow the browser down even more with additional requests and trust yet another provider to be fast, reliable and not change the widget output, I want to execute* the JavaScript t...
Sometimes IE6 will render the text of a UL list the same color as the background color, if you select it, they show back up, or if you scroll the page up and back down. Its obviously a rendering bug, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a workaround to make it reliable? ...
Are there any other way to render graphics in C# beyond GDI+ and XNA? (For the development of a tile map editor) ...
Hi, I love the way Mac OS beautifully renders fonts (not just browsers). I was wondering if we could somehow get the same rendering in browsers running on Windows? Someone recommended sIFR but I guess that's useful when I need to use non-standard fonts? -- Swap ...
I am the web guy for a large TV station. Our site is cached by Akamai. Pages render perfectly in our testing environment (not cached) and on our "origin" page (again, not cached), but when they are viewed on our live environment (the cached site), they do not render exactly the same as how I coded them. Maybe it's a tiny bit of spacing, ...
So I have a form that uses infopath services via sharepoint, and after multiple attempts at attempting to fix a rendering problem (tables appear WAY too wide to be readable), I think I have found the problem : date controls. It seems date controls within Infopath 2007 screw with rendering somehow. To test, I made 2 variations of a VER...
My application correctly handles different kind of character sets, but only internally - when it comes to displaying text in standard WinForms labels und textboxes, it seems to have problems with chinese characters. The problem seems to be the font used (Tahoma), because when I copy&paste the text, or view it in the debugger, it is disp...
I'm working on a page has an ol with nested p's, div's, and li's. Internet Explorer 6 and 7 both render the numbers for the ol tag after the p element at the end (at the very, very bottom of the li tag) rather than at the top of the outermost li as expected. I'm working on a PowerPC Mac and can't do any testing. Is there some simple CSS ...
I was reading a post by Brad Wilson (http://bradwilson.typepad.com/blog/2008/08/partial-renderi.html) on the new ViewEngine changes to MVC Preview 5 and thought that it would be great to be able to render a view to string for use in tests. I get the impression from the article that it may be possible to achieve this but cannot figure out...
Does anyone know if IE6 ever misrenders pages with hidden divs? We currently have several divs which we display in the same space on the page, only showing one at a time and hiding all others. The problem is that the hidden divs' components (specifically option menus) sometimes show through. If the page is scrolled, removing the compone...
I have been working on a ImageRotator control and finished weeding out any oddities with it tonight, and it works great. However, there is one thing that is bugging me with it. It doesn't display anything at design time (I just get the image placeholder). I have been Googling, and came across a good article from Rick Strahl (as always),...
How do you do your own fonts? I don't want a heavyweight algorithm (freetype, truetype, adobe, etc) and would be fine with pre-rendered bitmap fonts. I do want anti-aliasing, and would like proportional fonts if possible. I've heard I can use Gimp to do the rendering (with some post processing?) I'm developing for an embedded device ...
I want to take html, including the text and images and turn it into one image containing everything. Is there a free way to do it? This is using .net 3.5. See also: Server Generated web screenshots? What is the best way to create a web page thumbnail? ...
I'm benchmarking a WPF application on various platforms and I need an easy way to determine if WPF is using hardware or software rendering. I seem to recall a call to determine this, but can't lay my hands on it right now. Also, is there an easy, code based way to force one rendering pipeline over the other? ...
Hello, I'm working on a game (using Ruby) and planning to have it available in several languages. I was wondering what's the best option for rendering text. In particular, whatever I use should be able to render complex fonts (Arabic and Persian in particular). I've been looking around and have stumbled upon freetype, graphite, and usi...
I guess I'll illustrate with an example: In this game you are able to draw 2D shapes using the mouse and what you draw is rendered to the screen in real-time. I want to know what the best ways are to render this type of drawing using hardware acceleration (OpenGL). I had two ideas: Create a screen-size texture when drawing is started, ...
Our web application renders fast in some IE browsers, slow in others... It seems to be an HTML rendering problem... The first 10% of the page displays immediately, the last 90% takes up to 10 seconds, and this is static content. I've run with firefox/yslow, renders very quickly. Seems to be isolated to some users/configurations of ie...
I need to render quite alot (tens of thousands) images off-screen using OpenGL. I am running under Windows and using QT as a framework. the solution can be windows only, it doesn't really matter. From what I've found using Google there are a number of options for doing this This article which seems rather dated suggest a few ways, out o...
I am interested in writing a simplistic navigation application as a pet project. After searching around for free map-data I have settled on the US Census Bureau TIGER 2007 Line/Shapefile map data. The data is split up into zip files for individual counties and I've downloaded a single counties map-data for my area. What would be the b...
So I have an NSFont, and I want to get the maximum dimensions for any characters, ie. the pitch and letter height. [font maximumAdvancement] seems to return an NSSize of {pitch, 0}, so that's not helping. Bounding rect doesn't seem to work either, and the suggestion from jwz's similar question of creating a bezier path, appending a gly...
