HyperPo 6 - Known Issues

General Issues

• text parsing is currently done by pattern matching rather than a true XML parse - this is done for maximum speed and portability, though it is easily broken by more complex pages; eventually an option will be provided for a "quick" parse, based on patters, or a "correct" parse using an available SAX XML parser
• a related issue is character encoding that's probably not handled very well or consistently

Browser-Specific Issues

• Camino 0.7 (OSX)
  • strange behaviour for the file upload button (premature warning against incompatible file formats, though this does not prevent files from being uploaded correctly)
  • pull-down menus aren't hierarchical on the results pages
• Safari v1.0beta (Mac OSX)
  • Safari sometimes does not send the referer URL when opening a new window or tab (can cause HyperPo to display the login page)
  • Safari does not show the value of the show/hide button for Advanced Options
  • Safari does not respect the character encoding in the flash boxes and generated help windows (can cause Unicode characters to be displayed incorrectly)
  • Safari does not display a scroll-bar in the results window (the frames contain scrollbars, but the initial summary and the add corpus screens are missing scrollbars)
  • Safari does not warn against incompatible source file formats (though it should)
• Internet Explorer 5 (OSX)
  • areas in the collapsible menus go blank but don't collapse (this doesn't affect functionality of the form elements)
• Opera, OmniWeb (OSX)
  • DOM support in these browsers is very shaky - they are not recommended for HyperPo
