Various Requested Improvements

Its hard to improve on a browser this good, but if possible could the following changes be merged into later versions?

Ability to turn off the underlines on links.
Ability to read horizontal rule <hr> tag sizes.
Ability to open a frame outside of its frameset.
Ability to have right click functionality (such as save-as) over image maps.
Ability to delete bookmarks and add lines to separate sections.
'Open Window In Background' should be added, or a way to stop new windows from stealing focus on render completion after being minimalized.

Thanks!

Actually, I just turned off all the plugins and turned them all back on and now I have the line used to separate sections in the bookmark area.... one down. smiling smiley

Odd.

Open link in background is there, just right click on a link (although it sometimes seems to miss off the status bar). Windows shouldn't steal focus in the new version I was told, currently it's due to a Moz bug.

And what do you mean about hr rules? It sounds like a moz bug, but I don't really understand.

Bookmarks have been redone, search the forums for lots and lots.

Can't help on the others though.

Rick,

Based on the code for the next release:

* Ability to turn off the underlines on links.

You can do this already using Mozilla prefs. See here:

http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/docs/mozpref.php

* Ability to read horizontal rule <hr> tag sizes.

Not sure what you want here. Can you give me an example?

* Ability to open a frame outside of its frameset.

Yes, you will be able to open a frame in a new window in the next release.

* Ability to have right click functionality (such as save-as) over image maps.

This is a Mozilla bug. Not sure if it will be fixed for the next release.

* Ability to delete bookmarks and add lines to separate sections.

Mark's awesome work on the bookmark plugin includes this.

* 'Open Window In Background' should be added, or a way to stop new windows from stealing focus on render completion after being minimalized.

Mozilla bug. It should be fixed in the next release.

Thanks for the input. We appreciate it!

Andrew

Thank you both so much for your prompt response! I'll be sure to read the documentation a little closer next time. smiling smiley

The <hr> issue is probably a Mozilla issue, but a better description follows:

In NS4 and in IE if you use the extended configurations for HR like:

<hr color=#000000 size=1>
It is rendered as a very thin black line, but in K-Meleon its rendered only as a base <hr> tag.

It's because HTML 4.01 doesn't allow "color" attribute. "Size" is supported altough it is deprecated.

Refer to <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/graphics.html#edef-HR">http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/graphics.html#edef-HR</a>; to see what attributes are officially allowed or deprecated. Use styles to give HR needed appearance instead.
