[Plugin] bim-tools 0.13.4(june 22, 2015)

IE 9 does not run on Windows XP, which is still the world's most-used OS; although Win 7 is catching up.

This is invalid. You have a doctype decleration, but no HTML tag.

HTML5 starts with:

That is even more historic than XHTML - it doesn't have a doctype deceleration, so its HTML3, 2 etc. It's HTML rendered in Quicks Mode.

well spotted, I threw the baby out with the bath-water...
Safari, just adds it back in when it renders, so it runs fine with it missing... oops

The SU code is pulled directly from the rendered page in SU, so any PC specific code may be missing.

Most of Apple's html is missing the Doctype as well but renders as HTML5.

The problem on Safari is if the doctype is XHTML but the content='text/html;charset=utf-8' then any XHTML specific js will fail.

BTW. you got me rechecking html 5 meta tags and I just tested <meta http-equiv='refresh' content='30' /> and it works inside SU, so I'll try and see if the temp file can be avoided by using it instead.

with this you only need the one temp file

		@tmpPath=(@pathname + '/btDialog.html')
		@tmpFile=(File.open(@tmpPath, 'w+'))

with relative links for js, images and css, much cleaner.

I need to try this with some of my other scripts... john

In Safari?

driven · 28 Feb 2012, 14:18

@thomthom said:

In Safari?

To be more precise...
Apple WebKit + WebCore frameworks as used in Safari, Widgets and SU WebDialogs will render html 5 with or without the doctype specified.
Apple have only recently added '<!DOCTYPE html>' to the headers on their own sites [after complaints about compliance], but a lot of it's demo and pre-installed html files still have no doctype specified.

If specified correctly other doctypes appear to function as intended. If the doctype is incorrect apple renders what it can as html.

I haven't fully got my head around all of this, but, it appears, that if a link, url, uri, src or href relies on having correct XHTML i.e. (application/xhtml+xml, application/xml, or text/xml), then (text/html) will produce a blank link or even a blank page.

Also XHTML as (text/html) blocks some css completely.

In the past with a few webDialogs that had failed either completely or partially, changing or omitting the doctype allowed them to work.

Although I don't fully understand it all, it's to do with there being two different DOM's that dhtml can address depending on the doctype.

Enlighten me... john

thomthom · 28 Feb 2012, 14:42

I find it very odd if WebKit render documents sans any doctype as HTML5. It would break old sites.

what I'm say is the opposite WebKit render documents as HTML5sans any doctype. if it has no html 5 content it won't add it...

I've got this working to the extent of mimicking your 'youTube' clip,

Great!

@driven said:

plus the minimise button which took forever to get hold of.... It was only after I noticed it's missing from your demo....

O how stupid of me, i didn't even notice... I made the video on linux(wine). The button is not working in the current version, i stripped out all the javascript. I was planning to recreate the full html on each action using set_html, to keep the webdialog simple. Maybe it's automatically fixed when it works on safari(I don't know if wine uses a version of IE, or the default linux browser).

@driven said:

why are you using 1999 XHTML? it's 2012...

Didn't give that much thought(didn't even realize there would be differences between MAC and PC, when I started out).
I tried to keep it as common as possible. Having a DTD seemed very important, how else could a browser pick the correct way of rendering? But when i read a bit more about HTML5 it seems they left the DTD out ?! And xml-style(like <br />) is valid if you want to, but does not seem to be the preferred way...

When I read a bit more about HTML5, this seems the cleanest:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   ...
</html>

I changed this in my code, no problems on IE9, I will also give it a try on IE8...
But declaring the additional

<meta charset=utf-8'>

seems a good idea. And maybe a language identifier???

Would be great if google used a built-in chrome for SketchUp for PC, it beeing webkit-based would simplify things.
And then I could use the http://bimsurfer.org/ webGL IFC viewer from inside SketchUp to check the model in IFC format!

@driven said:

the other was you have two different image paths

I will try your other trick for the temp files...

Thanks!

brewsky · 28 Feb 2012, 20:37

@driven said:

<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='30' />

Would this not mean that the webdialog is only refreshed every 30 seconds?
I'm planning to refresh the webdialog on every selection change in sketchup, I guess it will not work in that case, right?

@driven said:

		@tmpPath=(@pathname + '/btDialog.html')
> 		@tmpFile=(File.open(@tmpPath, 'w+'))

with relative links for js, images and css, much cleaner.

Is the @pathname in this case "/tmp" or the normal path to the SketchUp plugins folder?
Otherwise I don't really understand the "relative links".

driven · 28 Feb 2012, 22:19

These is all the changes except a copy of the image file is also added to ui folder, there's a couple of puts that aren't needed...

I tried a 1second refresh, but you can't change anything that quick... also tried 3 + 3000
The 30 second refresh, allows enough time to make changes and submit, but time may be irrelevant (as long as it's enough), having this appears to allow resetting in general, which doesn't happen by default in WD's, does the ruby observer rewrite the html on selection changes? I have to re click the house to get the next elements info? The webdialog doesn't auto update that...

Demo version, still contains bugs
Updated version:

Removed image path from css
added webdialogpatch.rb(still contains the temp path)
changed html type

John, I was just uploading this new version when i saw your post, I will compare it with the version you just posted and post another one. Thanks!

I'll give this a spin, I don't see an issue with having concurrent test variations at this stage, for me it's more a test of WD's on mac, different flavors gives me somethings to test against. john

(here on PC) every time a new set_html, for:

if no building element selected: show message and further empty window
if you select a (different) building element the dialog updates to show the selected elements info
if multiple building elements are selected it shows the values that are the same for all selected elements
There is no dynamic javascript/AJAX content.

driven · 28 Feb 2012, 22:59

So, it's basiclly working, churning out .htmls into --TMP-- folder.

just read your cross post, because it disappears behind the window I need to re-click the house to see the dialog, and this updates the selection,

It is also updating when I change selection in view, I just couldn't see it... so I moved the drawing and I can...

it does need .show_modal to make any sense... john

Ooops, didn't think of this temp folder spamming. Maybe best to just delete the old tmp-html when a new one is loaded? I don't think the timer will work for my dialog because of the many content changes.

Yes, I forgot to add the show for pc, and show_modal for Mac, I'm currently fixing that...

Can the 'old' tmp file can be deleted immediately after it's loaded?

I'm going to do more test with the timer as it may be useful for other stuff, if not this...
