Some two years ago we wrote a simple page to test <object> handling. We were anticipating generating XHTML display code from XSLT transform of XML content, and wanted to make the result as robust as possible. http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/chemime/tests/object/browsers/scheme2.html was tested against the then range of browsers, with pretty disappointing results. Only one browser (iCab) passed the tests. Revisiting this test some 20 months on, I found things certainly improving. Thus Netscape 6 is pretty good, and now matches iCab. Assuming however that Amaya is the gold standard, I expected the result http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/chemime/tests/object/browsers/mozilla_x.jpg (actually from Mozilla on MacOS X, for which neither plugins nor Java are currently enabled; a situation which I presumed matches Amaya precisely). In fact, the latest Amaya does not perform as I had expected (try for yourselves)., attempting to display the plugin and Java, even though it cannot do either. Can anyone comment on whether in fact our code is wrong, whether there is a genuine bug in Amaya, or whether the interpretation is ambiguous? -- Henry Rzepa. +44 (0870) 132 3747 (eFax) Mobile +44 0778 6268 220 http://www.ch.ic.ac.uk/rzepa/ Dept.
