00:00:00 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: There are tons of features - it's a very early stage draft - so we don't know that yet.
00:00:22 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: I just didn't expect such a massively positive reaction to it as we got.
00:00:38 [TabAtkins_]
szilles: So this falls into "careful what you promise, they might ask for it".
00:01:36 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: So I'm specifically asking for devs to evaluate implementability as soon as possible on that feature.
00:02:03 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: What's in :matches() is absolutely implementable, since it's just syntactic sugar.
00:02:11 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: So we don't need feedback on that.
00:02:15 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: (At least, not immediately.)
00:02:28 [BradK]
BradK has joined #CSS
00:02:29 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: It's the subject indicator that needs feedback.
00:02:39 [dbaron]
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418039 is the Mozilla bug on :subject
00:02:43 [TabAtkins_]
tantek: What about :has()?
00:03:07 [arno]
indicator -> selector
00:03:10 [TabAtkins_]
tantek: It's in jQuery, it's been adopted and liked.
00:04:16 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: I specifically went away from that because it's harder to ipmlement.
00:04:29 [TabAtkins_]
TabAtkins_: Simple useful example: "label:has(:checked) + p"
00:05:04 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: You can use :matches() and the subject indicator to do the same.
00:05:27 [Bert]
(Tab's example doesn't work, does it? The p is not a sibling of the label, but a sibling of the labels's parent.)
00:07:05 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: "label:matches(? > :checked) + p"
00:07:14 [kermit]
kermit has joined #css
00:08:06 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: [explains her example further]
00:08:18 [dbaron]
Clearly we should just use the ‽ operator or the ¡ or ¿ operator.
00:08:35 [tcelik]
please no more symbols with strange meanings
00:09:01 [dbaron]
ok, how about the 美 symbol :-)
00:11:04 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: The spec should say that using the subject indicator twice in a selector makes it invalid.
00:12:36 [TabAtkins_]
tantek: I still think :has() is a superior syntax. If you want to put restrictions on its functionality to match the subject indicator, fine, but use the better syntax.
00:13:09 [dbaron]
Let's avoid Dr. Streetmentioner's 1001 Tenses for Time Travelers
00:13:16 [szilles]
szilles has joined #css
00:13:27 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: The interesting cases that :has() allows are precisely those that are much harder to implement.
00:14:12 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Selectors *never* go down multiple branches when matching, right now.
00:14:21 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Tab's example requires going down one branch and then going down another.
00:15:04 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: The XPath syntax may be eaiser here, where it has an explicit ancestor selectors.
00:15:19 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: It's less hard to implement, than that it's hard to track dynamic changes.
00:16:10 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: For example, if you're selecting (in Tab's example), when the input is checked or not, you need to quickly figure out which elements need to be restyled, without redoing the entire page's layout.
00:17:10 [TabAtkins_]
RESOLVED: Publish Style Attribute PR as soon as we have the impl reports.

Topic: GCPM
00:22:45 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: I'd like to talk about what's new.
00:22:55 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: Most of this is based on page flaots, but also paged overflow.
00:23:12 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: You can tell an element to overflow into pages.
00:23:21 [TabAtkins_]
tantek: So it's a manual <marquee>?
00:23:53 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: The other thing from GCPM is page floats. These photos [in his slides] are floats spanning multiple columns.
00:24:15 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: It works even better on a tablet.
00:24:40 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: So basically we can create an e-reader.
00:25:16 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: Paged layouts have been used forever in real life. Also in lots of apps, like flipboard.
00:25:25 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: [shows an example of paged wikipedia]
00:25:31 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: It has a lot of nice properties.
00:25:44 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: It avoids cut lines on the top and bottom of the screen when scrolling, frex.
00:25:59 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: Some things were *designed* for paged presentations, like children's book.
00:26:57 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: There's tons of gutenberg text, for example, that nobody will read because it's not paged.
00:27:08 [TabAtkins_]
[shepazu objects]
00:27:23 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: We've ipmlemented it in Opera, and have a shadow DOM for it.
00:27:39 [TabAtkins_]
s/shadow DOM/OM/
00:27:51 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: [shows example of some presentation showing the current page, etc.]
00:28:09 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: It's very simple. The basic setup is with a 'paged' value for overflow, and the nav is done through an at-rule.
00:28:21 [TabAtkins_]
plinss: How does it print?
00:29:00 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: Quite well. Opera doesn't print well, but if you pipe it to a good printing tool, it works well.
00:29:29 [TabAtkins_]
plinss: When you're doing pagination of an element in the page, what happens when you print the whole page? Where's the overflow?
00:29:56 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: [shows the code example to set it up]
00:30:19 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Since the overflow property on <html> is propagated to the viewport, you don't need the height:100% there.
00:30:36 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Last time, we were thinking of having 'paged' be a value for overflow-style.
00:30:54 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: Yes, 'overflow' is a shorthand. The value can go anywhere, it doesn't matter right now.
00:31:21 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: You can distinguish between pages being side-by-side, or below each other.
00:31:46 [TabAtkins_]
tantek: In Japanese, you get pages right to left.
00:31:53 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: So you also have to check writing-mode, not just direction.
00:32:13 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: Right. If I say "paged-x", I take whichever logical direction is horizontal.
00:32:40 [TabAtkins_]
shepazu: The scrollbar gives nice discoverability of how much content is left. Is that still there?
00:32:56 [TabAtkins_]
shepazu: Could there be a property that adds an indicator of the expected flow left?
00:33:12 [TabAtkins_]
shepazu: "If there's another page, put an indicator there"
00:33:22 [TabAtkins_]
plinss: There's an example in the spec with "paged-x-controls" for that, I guess.
00:33:36 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: How does this interact with @page rules?
00:34:01 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: Right now, our impl doesn't pay attention. In the future, if you set the viewport to be overflow:scroll, it'll interact.
00:34:38 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: If a line runs over the page (in the direction perpendicular from the main scrolling direction), it just gets cut (you can't see it in any way).
00:34:42 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: Same as with multicol.
00:35:05 [fantasai]
Tab: These us multicol, so you have columns: 3 or whatever.
00:35:19 [fantasai]
Tab: If you're using columns, the overflow columns are to the side.
00:36:23 [fantasai]
fantasai: The columns are not overflowing the box. They're overflowing the page, and go to the next page. It just happens that the next page is physically placed to the side rather than below in this case.
00:36:53 [fantasai]
howcome: you see this in tablet apps, that do this repeatedly
00:37:16 [fantasai]
howcome: This is a very simple sketch.
00:37:32 [fantasai]
howcome shows page shift effects
00:37:51 [fantasai]
Brad: I think that should be up to the UA, so the UA can provide a consistent interface
00:38:11 [fantasai]
glazou: I don't see it as only for tablets. It's a wonderful spec to match the effects of switching slides in a powerpoint
00:38:21 [fantasai]
glazou: I think the primary usage of that will be slideshows, much more than tablet browsing
00:38:32 [fantasai]
molly: possibly, but I can see designers really loving it
00:38:47 [fantasai]
glazou: You can define navigation between 2 pages in same document, or between 2 documents.
00:39:05 [fantasai]
glazou: One issue we have with slideshows to dissolve one slide and show the next slide; we don't have the next slide yet when we load the document.
00:39:19 [fantasai]
molly: I want to make the case for this and not just slide shows.
00:39:30 [fantasai]
molly: Anyone read the NYT? Exactly what people are doing in NYT reader
00:39:38 [myakura]
myakura has joined #css
00:39:40 [fantasai]
molly: it's being adopted a lot esp by older users who are not computer-savvy
00:40:00 [fantasai]
howcome: Met with NYT last week, who are doing all this in JS. They are saying please save us from the javaScript
00:40:47 [fantasai]
howcome: I'm really euphoric about this. I think it's the best thing that's happened in a long time.
00:40:51 [fantasai]
sylvaing: Since the Romans!
00:41:04 [fantasai]
howcome: It's so simple. No new properties, just new values on existing properties
00:41:15 [fantasai]
howcome: And then it's the at-page tihng, which attaches to link elements in HTML
00:41:28 [fantasai]
howcome: here we tie thse relationships to the directions with an at-rule
00:41:36 [fantasai]
howcome shows example of @navigation using link-rel() notation
00:41:54 [fantasai]
howcome: If we want to compete with the apps here, I think we need to provide this form of interaction
00:42:07 [fantasai]
plinss: I think it's great on the root element
00:42:14 [fantasai]
plinss: When its on the child element, and you turn the page, what happens?
00:42:24 [fantasai]
howcome: Here it's on the child element
00:42:27 [fantasai]
plinss: Now hit print.
00:42:31 [fantasai]
howcome: I see your point.
00:43:25 [fantasai]
fantasai: I think you should print the page over again with the next child page until you run out of content in the child
00:43:32 [fantasai]
fantasai: Would solve lots of problems with fixed positioning
00:43:42 [fantasai]
fantasai: Although it would be weird if you had more than one paged child
00:44:26 [fantasai]
Tantek: Shouldn't print starting at what you're looking at, should print the entire document.
00:44:41 [fantasai]
Tantek: Wrt slideshows, it's horrible because then you don't get anchors to the slides
00:44:57 [fantasai]
tantek: If you do it with anchors tags, HTML5 history, fine. I've built that.
00:45:21 [fantasai]
Tantek: But you can't do dynamic paging with anchors
00:45:42 [fantasai]
plinss: It's the same problem of scrolling down to a page and wanting to point someone at that point.
00:46:06 [fantasai]
Tantek: yes, but the expectation is different: if I'm on a page, I expect to send a link to the page. If I'm in a scrolling document, I expect a link to that page to point at the top
00:46:39 [fantasai]
...
00:46:49 [fantasai]
howcome: If I'm at the end of the document, it goes to the next one
00:47:00 [fantasai]
Doug: How do you know what's the next document?
00:47:09 [fantasai]
howcome: with HTML <link> tags
00:47:18 [fantasai]
howcome: you tie them to the navigation like this
00:47:50 [fantasai]
Doug: As you go to a new page with a fragment identifier, you update to that fragment identifier. That solves Tantek's problem.
00:48:00 [fantasai]
Tantek: Multiple navigation with a child?
00:48:07 [fantasai]
jdaggett: If you have 2 elements that are paginated
00:48:38 [fantasai]
Tantek: You'd have to scope per fragment the navigation rules if you have a paged child inside a paged document
00:49:09 [fantasai]
glazou: Just use a page break there. Define a page break after your sldies
00:49:23 [fantasai]
howcome: For slides that's fine. But for a newspaper article you don't want all the newspaper articles in one document.
00:50:01 [fantasai]
howcome explains url-doc()
00:50:27 [fantasai]
glazou: I think you shoudl resurrect selectors on the right-hand side. This is too specific to HTML. Should be able to do this in any kind of markup
00:50:40 [fantasai]
glazou: Should be able to retrieve URLs from link anywhere in the prose.
00:50:51 [fantasai]
glazou: Smells like selector on right-hand side of property
00:51:08 [TabAtkins_]
We have an existing function that can be used here - element()
00:51:22 [fantasai]
glazou: Looks like attr(link[rel=index], href)
00:51:53 [fantasai]
Doug: there's nothing HTML-specific about link relationships
00:52:06 [myakura]
myakura has joined #css
00:52:13 [fantasai]
glazou: Next step that you are going to take HÃ¥kon is showing multiple pages into one single viewport
00:52:21 [fantasai]
glazou: To be able to select 5th page directly for example.
00:52:31 [fantasai]
glazou: So I suggest you think about this andput it in your proposal
00:53:07 [fantasai]
howcome: I'm going ot show you a book I printed in CSS.
00:54:21 [fantasai]
howcome: This is a replication of {...} from 1879. Each word on exactly the same page.
00:55:00 [fantasai]
Bert: If I swipe right to the next document, expect that going left brings me back. But that depends on the navigation styles in the other document
00:55:27 [fantasai]
Steve: I think it's a mistake to put the navigation in the style here. If you want to link together a bunch of document, should have some kind of manifest.
00:55:46 [fantasai]
plinss: this is outside the scope of CSS, but yes there's a use case for some kind of manifest that expresses these relationships
00:57:07 [fantasai]
fantasai: The links among documents can be expressed in HTML. The bit that's out-of-scope is mapping those to navigation gestures
00:57:45 [fantasai]
...
00:57:51 [fantasai]
plinss: It should be next and previous
00:58:03 [fantasai]
howcome: That's already in the HTML, don't need the CSS.
00:58:25 [fantasai]
Tantek: Request to add a photo of the folks that were here 7 years ago
00:59:08 [fantasai]
Steve: I think there's a difference between what happens in a document, which you specify wiht paged-x and paged-y, and what happens across documents, where I don't think it's the role of CSS to say. But getting to the end of a document is an event, and you could say what happens when you get to that event.
00:59:22 [fantasai]
glazou: I have a lot of comments on your document.
00:59:34 [fantasai]
howcome: Email probably works better if we want others to participate as well.
00:59:48 [fantasai]
howcome: So this is most of what's new in the GCPM. Maybe continue tomorrow?
00:59:51 [fantasai]
Meeting closed.

16:08:21 [fantasai]
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Tracker/issues/193
16:08:42 [Bert]
fantasai: Issue 193 is about removing <fraction> and <grid>
16:08:56 [Bert]
... Not sure they are actually used anywhere.
16:09:03 [Bert]
... Apart from unstable modules.
16:09:17 [Bert]
... If necessary we can add them back in Level 4
16:09:36 [Bert]
Florian: Sounds reasonable. No hidden issues?
16:09:53 [Bert]
Markus: If another spec needs it?
16:10:07 [Bert]
fantasai: Some modules already define their own units.

... Today topic is page positinion and centering.
16:20:37 [Bert]
... Page position is absolute, but looks a bit like fixed.
16:20:51 [Bert]
... Mainly meant for Regions.
16:21:09 [Bert]
... A ddeply nested regions can still be positioned relative to page.
16:21:25 [Bert]
... If not in a region, position is relative to intial CB.
16:21:36 [Bert]
... Possible problems with overlap in that case.
16:21:58 [Bert]
Howcome: Hard to understand without examples.
16:22:30 [Bert]
arronei: Regions create new initial containing blocks.
16:22:55 [Bert]
howcome: Can you put something in a position on page 3, e.g.?

16:23:11 [Bert]
... 'position: page' with offset.
16:23:29 [Bert]
fantasai: Overlap if you are not on the page you expected to be on.
16:23:44 [Bert]
arronei: Really focused on regions.
16:23:57 [Bert]
fantasai: Don't ike that fallback behavior.
16:24:09 [Bert]
howcome: Yes, that is a problem.
16:24:20 [Bert]
... Page floats don't have that problem.
16:24:34 [Bert]
... Next float autom. goes beneath previous one.
16:24:58 [Bert]

[forgot name]: confusion between clearing and positioning.
16:33:17 [Bert]
... Position page is not necessarily the feature at risk. It lacks clearing, yes, but if we solve that, we don't have the fallback pb anymore.
16:33:57 [Bert]
... Do you propose to pull the feature to solve positionin or solve clearing?
16:34:03 [Bert]
Florian: both.
16:34:29 [Bert]
Alex: Exclusion, positioning and floats all needed, 3rd part not done yet.
16:34:49 [Bert]
howcome: page floats works, in spec and tested in implementation.
16:35:01 [Bert]
arronei: find middle ground.
16:35:28 [Bert]
Tab: floats don't overlap, that is the big difference.
16:35:54 [Bert]
fantasai: My issue is that something that is desgned such that the fallback nearly always fails, is not good.
16:36:09 [Bert]
... We can leave it in ED, but shoul dnot be like this in WD.
16:36:40 [Bert]
Alex: Want to be able to
16:36:49 [Bert]

16:36:58 [Bert]
... We eant that, but want excat algos.
16:37:07 [Bert]
... postiioning to page is very important.
16:37:14 [Bert]
... Needed for pages with exclusions.
16:37:24 [Bert]
... Some of their logic will have to be inscripts.
16:37:40 [Bert]
... Very hard to do without positioning to page.
16:38:01 [Bert]
... [something]
16:38:11 [Bert]
Tab: only for scripts, you say?
16:38:16 [Bert]
Alex: Probably.
16:38:33 [Bert]
fantasai: So that indicates to me the model is broken and you need a better one.
16:38:51 [fantasai]
Alex^: This will only work well with multiple positioned items if you have script
16:39:01 [Bert]
Tab: We should not right something that is broken just because we don't have time for the better one yet.
16:39:28 [Bert]
arronei: We should think about clearing, not decide it right now, but think.
16:39:38 [Bert]
... Can put it in Editor's Draft.
16:39:55 [Bert]
Steve: Put in the ED what tje issue is, and what arguments are,
16:40:08 [Bert]
fantasai: and look for other solution for same use cases.
16:40:15 [Bert]
arronei: I can put that in.
16:40:31 [Bert]
Brad: What does page float not solve that this does?
16:40:35 [Bert]
Steve: yes.
16:41:11 [Bert]
Alex: something that is positioned and does not collide with orther things is a page float.
16:41:28 [Bert]
howcome: We should find use cases and solve the pb.
16:41:44 [Bert]
Brad: So this is complementary to page floats?
16:41:59 [Bert]
Alex: In the future we need page floats that can be positioned abs. on a page.

16:42:09 [Bert]

16:42:56 [Bert]
Howcome: We want the use cases to be solved, but we also need the fallback. Cannot rely on scripts to solve the fallback.
16:43:03 [Bert]

16:45:28 [Bert]
arronei: About center positioning:
16:45:33 [Bert]
... Very old request.
16:46:09 [Bert]
... It is now similar to block-level non-replaced centering with auto margins.
16:46:25 [Bert]
... Margin: auto wouldn't work here.
16:46:49 [Bert]
... There is a calculation in the spec.
16:47:24 [Bert]
... Set 'position: center'
16:47:50 [Bert]
Alex: bottom positioning is a problem.
16:48:16 [Bert]
fantasai: This allows us to position out of flow obkects, but stil not in-flow objects.
16:48:23 [Bert]
... And that is more important.
16:48:33 [Bert]
Daniel: Agree.
16:48:44 [Bert]
Tab: Can use flex box, or grid.
16:49:27 [Bert]
dbaron: Proposal is reasonable for positioning.
16:49:43 [Bert]
... Could add something about auto margins, not defined currently.
16:49:59 [Bert]
Tab: horizontal only, or vertical, too.
16:50:06 [Bert]
dbaron: Symmetric.
16:50:15 [Bert]
fantasai: No, it is not symmetric.
16:50:37 [Bert]
arronei: We'll keep this part in the draft.
16:51:14 [Bert]
dbaron: you can center vertically with auto margins, in level 2, as long as height is fixed.
16:51:53 [Bert]
[discussion about case with height: auto]
16:52:07 [Bert]
arronei: Should work for auto height, so I'll correct that.
16:52:43 [Bert]
dbaron: For centering in each dimension you need to set four properties and set height.
16:53:08 [Bert]
arronei: Some other issues in the spec:
16:53:19 [Bert]
... No ruby values.
16:53:32 [Bert]
... Not sure what a positioned ruby works.
16:53:46 [Bert]
dbaron: Do the spec need to redefine CSS 2.1 section?
16:54:00 [Bert]
... Can't you just say it amends CSS 2.1 for these cases?
16:54:15 [Bert]
Tab: Do we want to write delta specs?

arronei: So I think we're OK with this part.
17:00:06 [Bert]
arronei: Last issue is stacking context and opacity and transforms.
17:00:16 [Bert]
... Couldn't find any coclusions about that.
17:00:45 [Bert]
dbaron: Both opacity and transform on elts without z-index, than act as if z-index is 0.
17:01:05 [Bert]
... If it is positioned and has a z-index, than use that.
17:01:23 [Bert]
... Otherwise do as if z-index is 0.
17:01:37 [Bert]
arronei: Implementations seem to do that, indeed.
17:01:44 [Bert]
... How about transforms?
17:01:55 [Bert]
dbaron: Believe they ar ethe same.
17:02:06 [Bert]

17:15:33 [Bert]
Dean: Calculate time line in advance for part of the treee
17:15:50 [Bert]
... In some future version of the spec we can define that animations can be aligned.
17:16:02 [Bert]
... Problem that we cannot do that now.
17:16:30 [Bert]
... But we can still say things in current spec so that implementations don't have to compute for elements with display: none.
17:16:41 [Bert]
... No events.
17:17:09 [Bert]
... You could use script and set delays as well.
17:17:21 [Bert]
... What happens if you animate 'display: none' in a key frame?
17:17:34 [Bert]
Tab: As soon as we can animate keywords, you mean.
17:17:45 [Bert]
Dean: Yes, that is not yet in spec, but will add it.

... I propsoe display: none means element is not animated.
17:18:22 [Bert]
Luke: What does it mean?
17:18:42 [Bert]
Dean: Elements with display: none and anumation property, we don't even look at animation.
17:19:21 [Bert]

Topic: Animations (cont)
19:14:56 [fantasai]
sylvaing: Issue is what if a property is not specified in all keyframes.
19:15:04 [fantasai]
sylvaing: Also what if one keyframe has an invalid value

dbaron: What happens in gecko when a property is not valid in all keyframes: every animations animates all properties that are in any keyframe of the animation, over the entire duration of the animation
19:16:06 [fantasai]
dbaron: The animation interpolates each property across the keyframes from the keyframes in which the property was present.
19:16:11 [fantasai]
dbaron gives an example
19:16:11 [stearns]
stearns has joined #css
19:16:50 [fantasai]
smfr: Imagine exploding keyframes into keyframes per property. For keyframes in which the property isn't specified, you ignore them.
19:17:05 [tantek_]
tantek_ has joined #css
19:17:31 [fantasai]
dbaron: The fun case there, and one I'm not sure we agree on, is what happens if some of the values are value syou cannot interpolate between
19:17:31 [TabAtkins_]
sylvaing: So if I had an animation with keyframes at 0%, 50% and 100%, and 'width' appeared only in 0% and 100%, it just animates between those two values and ignores 50% (for 'width')
19:17:45 [fantasai]
dbaron: In Gecko, if there are such values, I drop the property from animatio completely
19:18:19 [fantasai]
dbaron: So if you animate from width: 100% to width: 50% to width: auto, I say you can't animate between 50% and auto, so I'm not going to animate 'width' at all
19:18:50 [fantasai]
Luke: If you have, say, an abspos div and it's specified left in the initial state and right in the final state, you can't actually do an animation for that thing.
19:18:59 [fantasai]
smfr: same problem as not being able to animate t/from auto
19:19:16 [fantasai]
dbaron: Another issue here from testcase on www-style last week (from Lea?)
19:19:27 [fantasai]
dbaron: In some cases, the computed value of one prop depends on computed value of another property
19:19:40 [fantasai]
dbaron: If your animation is multiple properties, what basis values are you using?
19:20:04 [fantasai]
dbaron: So in Gecko, I didn't really think about this when implementing, so what I implemented is that it ignores other properties in the animation
19:20:08 [fantasai]
dbaron: That's probably wrong
19:20:24 [fantasai]
dbaron: If we want this to work right, for some definition of right, things can get pretty complicated quickly
19:20:30 [fantasai]
dbaron: So I'm not sure what to do there.
19:20:40 [fantasai]
example was animating stuff in ems and font-size (?)
19:21:02 [fantasai]
Luke: Has anyone considered doing this in computed space instead of precomputed?
19:21:08 [fantasai]
Tab, dbaron: Happens over computed values
19:21:17 [mmielke]
mmielke has joined #css
19:21:25 [fantasai]
Luke: Instead of being mes and whatever, then you'd want these things to be final pixel values
19:21:30 [fantasai]
Luke: Instead of ...
19:21:47 [fantasai]
dbaron: You want to animate used values instead of computed values. That's hard because it depends on layout. Would rather not go there.
19:22:09 [fantasai]
dbaron: I'd be more interested in solving those problems by making things like calc(50% + 2px + auto) work
19:22:15 [fantasai]
dbaron: or calc(auto * 0.5)
19:22:32 [fantasai]
dbaron: Then it's much easier to solve these problems
19:23:06 [fantasai]
smfr: theoretically you could lay out at the final state to find what 'auto' means
19:23:13 [fantasai]
dbaron: The problem there is that might depend on other things that animate
19:23:24 [fantasai]
smfr: So does Gecko explicitly not do animations that involve 'auto'?
19:23:36 [fantasai]
smfr: In WebKit we treat 'auto' as 0
19:23:48 [dglazkov]
dglazkov has joined #css
19:23:51 [fantasai]
smfr: That makes things like left -> right work
19:24:10 [fantasai]
Luke: So if you have these calc() expressions, you can defer layout
19:24:33 [fantasai]
dbaron: Yes, you can do the animation on computed values and then you do the layout with the interpreted calc() expression
19:24:42 [tantek]
tantek has joined #css
19:24:50 [fantasai]
dbaron: background-position has a problem, too -- it needs calc
19:25:18 [fantasai]
Shane: It's pretty much impossible to animate gradients without deferring layout
19:25:46 [fantasai]
Shane: For gradients, you can't generate and interpolate a computed state. You need to do layout
19:26:01 [fantasai]
dbaron: I think we have a lot of agreement on this. We need to write it up.
19:26:16 [fantasai]
dbaron: a) How the loop over properties works: properties, the keyframes
19:26:29 [fantasai]
dbaron: b) be clear that interpolation happens on computed values (think we say that already)
19:26:39 [fantasai]
dbaron: c) Issue on what to do with non-interpolable pairs in the animation
19:27:50 [fantasai]
fantasai: dropping it entirely seems like a better idea. More straightforward, and if we later figure out how to interpolate it and people add it, it'll either work or not work (in olde rbrowsers): you don't get this halfway jumpy thing
19:28:32 [fantasai]
smfr: If the property is missing from a 100% keyframe and the animation is looping, you could look for the next value in the loop rather than going back to the base value
19:28:35 [ChrisL]
ChrisL has joined #css
19:29:06 [fantasai]
fantasai: so if you only have a property specified in one keyframe
19:29:22 [fantasai]
smfr: It would go from base value to that value, stay at that value, and then come back down to the base value once you stop animating
19:29:32 [fantasai]
sylvaing: next issue is on transition property
19:29:43 [fantasai]
sylvaing: Idea was that you could set a duration for all properties
19:30:02 [bradk_]
bradk_ has joined #css
19:30:05 [fantasai]
sylvaing: and then override that separately
19:30:12 [fantasai]
syAnd we talked about the none case. We said that if you have 'none' in the list of properties, that kills everything before it
19:30:20 [fantasai]
dbaron: Right now none and all can't be part of a list
19:30:23 [fantasai]
sylvaing: We agreed to fix that
19:30:27 [fantasai]
dbaron: Missed that thread
19:30:42 [fantasai]
dbaron: Seems like it makes more sense for all than none. Maybe fix it for all and not for none?
19:31:00 [fantasai]
Dean: So you can't put none in a list, but all you can
19:32:00 [fantasai]
fantasai: so, can you put all anywhere in the list?
19:32:04 [fantasai]
sylvaing: It will override anything before it
19:32:24 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: So 'all' just happens to be a really big shorthand
19:33:03 [fantasai]
fantasai: Reminds me of a request for blocking inheritance. Could do "all: initial" for that
19:34:00 [fantasai]
plinss: Anything else on animations?
19:34:00 [dbaron]
RESOLVED: 'all' is allowed within lists in 'transition-property' (but 'none' is not). Which item wins works like for shorthands, so it's silly to use 'all' other than at the start of the list, but it's not forbidden.
19:34:19 [fantasai]
dean: We had an issue on the animation cancel event -- an event that fires when an animation gets cancelled
19:34:22 [BradK]
BradK has joined #CSS
19:34:37 [fantasai]
dean: The event fires on the element. But what if the element is removed?
19:34:47 [fantasai]
dean: Do you fire on its parent? Or not fire the event?
19:35:01 [fantasai]
dbaron: I'm inclined it should fire on the element or it shouldn't fire
19:35:15 [fantasai]
dbaron: I'm not sure firing an event on something not in the document is something to do
19:35:40 [fantasai]
Tab: Not sure it's a problem. Your target phase is weird. You have events firing at DOM non-elements all the time
19:35:52 [fantasai]
dbaron: I'd prefer to ask a DOM Events expert; I'm not one
19:36:20 [fantasai]
dean: If we do decide to fire on an element that's no longe rin the DOM, then it obviously can't bubble up to its parent.
19:36:36 [fantasai]
dean: Typically people want to listen for events on an ancestor
19:36:41 [fantasai]
dean: I'm tempted to say it doesn't fire

19:41:14 [fantasai]
dean: I still can't work out how you'd do it.
19:41:46 [fantasai]
fantasai: You'd have to bring everything down to zero, then bring it all back up on the other side
19:42:57 [fantasai]
dbaron: Could you pretend that instead inset, you use negative numbers?
19:44:14 [arronei]
arronei has joined #css
19:44:27 [fantasai]
fantasai: You could define this, but it wouldn't be simple: have to bring the offsets and spread and blur radius down to zero and bring them back up. Do you do that simultaneously, one after the other?
19:44:53 [fantasai]
dbaron: If someone comes up with a way to represent all these intermediate states
19:45:05 [fantasai]
plinss: You want to make it look like raised above, then you're sinking it down
19:45:24 [fantasai]
dbaron: You have to model it with a light source
19:45:41 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: The shadows are not necessarily representable by a single light source
19:46:04 [fantasai]
dbaron: Assume the light source is a point at inifite distance, and then only modify the distance fo the box to the canvas
19:46:18 [fantasai]
dean: With a special model of physics, we can come up with a model for hte animation of inset to outset box-shadows. :)
19:46:32 [fantasai]
smfr: Any more serious issues?
19:46:43 [dbaron]
assume the light source is 45 degrees from vertical
19:47:19 [Ms2ger]
s/inifite/infinite/
19:47:41 [fantasai]
Seems we will consider animating inset to outset box-shadows iff someone comes up with a proposal of exactly how that's supposed to work.
19:48:18 [fantasai]
plinss: They all have to hit zero at the same time or its going to look stupid
19:48:34 [fantasai]
dbaron: I could try writing it up, but not sure it's a high priority
19:48:41 [ChrisL]

I think it's relatively straightforward to break down each shadow as something created by an infinite light source and a box elevation.
19:49:13 [fantasai]
RESOLVED: Will consider animating inset to outset box-shadows iff someone posts a proposal of exactly how that's supposed to work.
19:49:16 [dbaron]
assume the infinite light source is at 45 degrees for both endpoints

Florian: We rejected regexp matching in selectors, but you have to do similar for text-combine
19:52:01 [fantasai]
Florian is asking for the ability to make pseudo-elements out of something that matches a regexp

fantasai: When you're dealing with text-combine, you're doing it as you're evaluating the text. It's not part of selector matching.
19:53:44 [fantasai]
Florian: Just a question, not an issue.
19:54:45 [Bert]
fantasai: from the spec: " If the content contains any element boundaries this is treated as ‘text-combine-horizontal: none’ on the element and any descendants."
19:55:36 [Bert]
... It's atheoretical box, as soon as you notice a boundary you abort constructing it.

TabAtkins: Other issue: ATM in the spec flex-order takes a <number>, whereas z-index takes an <integer>
21:10:34 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: So we can either make flex-order <integer> or z-index <integer> to make consistent
21:10:49 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Prefer <number> because it makes it easier to insert things in between later
21:11:04 [dbaron]

21:31:47 [fantasai]
alex: There is no reasonable way to place that hypothetical static position
21:32:48 [fantasai]
alex: Place where it would have been is inline content, and that gets wrapped in an anonymous ocntainer, and that box is empty.
21:33:03 [fantasai]
alex: But justifying with flex-pack shows this placeholder
21:33:45 [fantasai]
alex: Positioning a flex-item without a placeholder is tricky
21:33:53 [fantasai]
fantasai: Why not define the static position as coinciding with the flexbox
21:33:54 [fantasai]
?
21:34:47 [fantasai]
alex: The only thing we don't like is the behavior with flex-pack: justify, and I don't mind it being bad for this case since it makes everything else work better

TabAtkins: This is to consider z-order axis
21:41:34 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: as a flex order
21:41:41 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: I believe we shouldn't do anything about this right now
21:42:05 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: If we want to address stacked layout, which I think we should, we should consider it as another display or part of grid or something else. Don't have all the primitives we really want
21:42:37 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: One thing you might want to do, frex, if you have items of different size, you might want to size to the size of the current item, or size to the size of the largestitem so you don't resize as you swap them
21:42:48 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: That's a control that you don't have otherwise
21:42:56 [fantasai]
dbaron: What's the use case for size based on the one on top?
21:43:13 [fantasai]
dbaron: Gecko implements this, and we've never gotten a request for size based on the one on top
21:43:53 [fantasai]
Rossen: size otp sounds like a way of deferring layout of the other things, is that your use case?
21:43:56 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Partially
21:44:01 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Have a use case for sizing according to top
21:44:23 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: I've seen tab layouts where your headings or whatever are on the side, and the contents of your page are the stack
21:44:52 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: You want thema ll to fill the widths. But if you have a tall item and some short items, you don't want the short items to have a long scroll bar
21:45:11 [fantasai]
dbaron: Fair enough, but that doesn't seem like flexbox.
21:45:49 [fantasai]
Markus: If we add this we'll have another way to do stacking in addition to z-index and grid
21:46:11 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: There's still further things that distinguish this from plain flexbox that make it not a good idea to combine
21:46:29 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Flexbox's alignment primitives are flex-align and flex-pack, which are perpemndicular/ parallel to the flex axis
21:46:59 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: If you have stack, then you have two orthogonal axes, and it's not clear which is align and which is pack
21:47:25 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: If we were going to tack it onto one of our layout models, grid might be better. not sure if it's the best idea, but semes better than this
21:47:28 [fantasai]
Alex ...
21:47:35 [fantasai]
Alex: If you take a grid and give it several items, it will give you a stack.
21:47:49 [Bert]
(Template Layout once had 'display: card | card-container | card-tab'. Came from a request from Device Independent WG.)
21:48:15 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: One final thing that makes me hesitant, I'm not sure if we ant to address in CSS, but if you have tab layout then you prolly want to show the tabs themselves.
21:48:31 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Auto-generated, linked up manually, some old proposals, but don't know how
21:48:41 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: in JavaScript it's easy, but may wnat to address it in CSS
21:48:56 [fantasai]
Alex: HTML5 control using script and grid and add to HTML5 as necessary
21:49:09 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: One problem with script is, the tabs should be accessible.
21:49:21 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Most developers will not and do not in practice hit all of the accessibility goals we want there.
21:49:39 [fantasai]
Alex: it needs to be an HTML5 control
21:50:04 [fantasai]
fantasai: Couldn't you use fragment IDs?
21:50:22 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: If we address this automatically somehow via CSS, I doubt we want to tie this into z-index.
21:51:01 [Bert]
(http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/target is example using fragment IDs (and :target, thanks to Daniel))
21:51:14 [fantasai]

21:56:33 [Tom]
Tom has joined #css
21:56:39 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Should this start the flex calculations from 50px?
21:56:52 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Or should it start from zero and then check/correct if necessary?
21:57:11 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: This is important if I want to give each item flex of 1, but set a minimum for readability
21:57:21 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: If you make it so that everything starts from the minimum width, this breaks
21:57:37 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Everyone will start at their min-width, then they'll flex, and then they'll be different size
21:57:55 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: However, that method is easier
21:58:05 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: However I think it is a bad enough behavior that it should be changed
21:58:13 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: I'm specifying exactly when min/max are taken into account
21:58:26 [fantasai]

fantasai: I think I agree

22:00:47 [fantasai]
but that's another problem entirely
22:01:05 [dbaron]
but one I think we should try to solve in this spec
22:01:21 [fantasai]
Alex: Let's say you have flex of 1000px, and your max-content is 2000px and min-content is 500px
22:01:28 [fantasai]
Alex: min-width is specified to 100 or 0, doesn't matter
22:01:45 [fantasai]
Alex: which of min-width will go to the min, is it going to be min-content or min-width?
22:02:42 [fantasai]
alex: I think what's supposed to happen, if width is 'auto' then we should look at min-content width
22:02:51 [fantasai]
alex: If width is specified, then we should not look at min-content width.
22:03:34 [fantasai]

TabAtkins: We're working on an implementation, and you're working on an implementation, so we should be able to figure out what's sane
22:04:25 [fantasai]
alex: Question is in what cass do we consult min-content, if ever
22:04:29 [fantasai]
s/cass/cases/
22:04:39 [fantasai]
alex: Default value of min-width is 0
22:04:43 [fantasai]
alex: so it's always specified
22:04:53 [fantasai]
do we need an 'auto' value for min-width?
22:05:07 [fantasai]
alex: ...
22:05:19 [fantasai]
alex: Could say minimum is max(min-width, min-content)
22:05:28 [fantasai]
alex: Problem with that is you can never have a box that is smaller than min-content
22:05:59 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Could we say by default things can shrink to zero, and if you want min-content as a minimum, you say min-width: min-content
22:06:06 [fantasai]
Ojan: Seems non-flexbox specific
22:06:16 [fantasai]
alex: Different because flexibility depends on the width
22:06:35 [fantasai]
Ojan: To be consisten with
22:06:49 [fantasai]
OjaN: if you put min-width: 100px and width: 300px then you'll get 300px
22:06:59 [fantasai]
dbaron: Those don't conflict. If you swap them you get 300px
22:07:29 [fantasai]
Rossen: The problem is that if you want to achieve parity with ehavior of table cells floaters abspos or anything else that does shrink-to-fit,
22:07:36 [fantasai]
Rossen: min-content is always respected in these types of layout
22:07:48 [fantasai]
Rossen: flex in this case doesn't respect the minimum content
22:08:10 [fantasai]
Rossen: If you have some characters, and default value of min-content is 0, flex will currently shrink all the way down to zero
22:08:23 [fantasai]
Rossen: might or might not be what you want

?
22:10:13 [fantasai]
Rossen: When would you not want min-content?

22:10:49 [fantasai]
steve: Wouldn't you want the same thing in a table?
22:11:11 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: It's easy to do what we want for flexbox. Still means tables are confusing, but everybody else works the same way.
22:11:33 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: If you want min-width of 0, set it to zero. If you want min-width of min-content, say so.
22:12:59 [Mike5]

22:13:08 [fantasai]
RESOLVED: Effective min-width on flexes is a limitation after the initial flex resolution, not while figuring out preferred width of element.
22:13:52 [fantasai]
dbaron: The way things need to work for blocks and tables is that min-width doesn't affect the pref width of the element, but affects the pref width of the parent
22:14:27 [fantasai]
RESOLVED: minimum width is just min-width: min-content is not an implied minimum
22:15:23 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: There was a question when flex-align: stretch combines with 'max-width' smaller than the size of the flexbox so that it can't stretch beyond
22:15:29 [fantasai]
s/beyond/fully/
22:15:41 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Proposal is to respect the sizing constraint and then start-align
22:16:56 [fantasai]
RESOLVED: proposal accepted
22:17:05 [fantasai]
Ojan: Do we want to address visibility: collapse
22:17:25 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: the problem with using display:none to dynamically show/hide elements...
22:17:39 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: ...is that you really only want to take thing out-of-flow in one dimension (the main axis).
22:18:03 [Bert]
(Example of 'visibility: collapse' in tables: http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/folding)
22:18:48 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: You can't do that with display:none, but visibility:collapse is *supposed* to solve this in tables. It does a bad job, but we cant do it right.
22:18:53 [fantasai]
(example was of a panel with collapsing panels)
22:19:01 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: I think it doesn't work well in tables because it hasn't been solved right yet.
22:19:29 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: Because if you have more space for the other things, they can be smaller in the other dimension, so they'll still change size.
22:20:01 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Tables also have the problem that row/col spans get clipped oddly by collapse.
22:20:26 [TabAtkins_]
ojan: My concern with this is that this is sort of a more generic thing. Why doesn't this work on lists (hiding, but still incrementing counters).
22:20:30 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: I'd like it to work there.
22:20:53 [TabAtkins_]
ojan: Right, but there's backwards compat issues. So let's ignore collapse, and solve it properly with a new property or value.
22:21:04 [fantasai]
dbaron: What's the problem with lists?
22:21:09 [fantasai]
that's not solved by display: none?
22:21:26 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Preserving counters.
22:21:34 [fantasai]
fantasai: Also contribution of the width to the parent's intrinsic size
22:21:42 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Also, running animations.
22:21:56 [fantasai]
Steve: what happens if I set height to zero
22:22:28 [fantasai]
fantasai: you also have to turn off padding, border, margins, box-shadow, etc. etc.
22:23:42 [fantasai]
Ojan: So it's dead in the water to make visibility: collapse; work on block elements, I presume?
22:23:50 [fantasai]
dbaron: I don't know, maybe not
22:23:58 [fantasai]
Molly: visibility: collapse isn't taught

22:28:45 [fantasai]

22:49:53 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: Applies to both column and page breaks.
22:50:09 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: Say you have an element, the first in a page or column. And you set break-before on it.
22:50:24 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: Should you apply it (forcing a new break), or just leave it, since it's already the first element.
22:51:17 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: I think we should do the latter.
22:51:18 [mmielke]

22:51:51 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: For pages, you sometimes want blank pages, but you don't want *arbitrary* extra blank pages. Usually you want to start all chapters on the left page, or something.
22:52:17 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: Sometimes you do specifically always want, say, 1 blank page before chapters.
22:52:44 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: You can do that by using ::before or similar and give it a sufficient height (but no content) to push the rest of the content down.
22:52:55 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: 2 out of 3, roughly, do it the way I want.
22:53:08 [ChrisL]
<div class="notes" style="page-break-before:always;background-image:tpib.png"/>
22:53:11 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: The others force a new break.
22:53:39 [ChrisL]
s/tpib/tpilb/
22:54:02 [TabAtkins_]
glazou: So the proposal is to *not* create a blank column when the first element in a multicol has break-before:always.
22:54:23 [TabAtkins_]
RESOLVED: break-before:column won't force a blank column when the element is the first in the column.
22:55:00 [TabAtkins_]

alexmog: Say you have an <h1>, the first thing in the document, and you set break-before on it.
23:01:41 [TabAtkins_]
alexmog: But it's *not* actually the first element. <html> and <body> precede it.
23:02:07 [TabAtkins_]

23:02:25 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: This is a different case
23:02:36 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: In this multicol case, the <div> is literally the first thing on the page
23:02:55 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: In the other case, the <h1> is not the first thing on the page, it's wrapped by a <body> and an <html>
23:03:19 [fantasai]
szilles: Define that as being at the top of the page
23:03:50 [fantasai]
Alex: Orphan control shouldn't .. if you have a region with only room for one line, and we have an element with orphan that has 3 lines
23:04:06 [fantasai]
alex: we're currently going to move that to the next region because we're not at the top of the page
23:04:48 [fantasai]
alex: You have a long enough paragraph, multiple lines
23:04:54 [fantasai]
alex: starts in a region which can fit just one line
23:05:00 [fantasai]
alex: which is ok for titles
23:05:17 [fantasai]
alex: You want that one line to still be in that region, even though with orphan control will want to keep it with the rest of the parent
23:05:37 [fantasai]
alex: The resason these cases are related, is if break-before and break-after are intepreted as I think in the spec
23:05:51 [fantasai]

23:07:43 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: You'd like to break before/after both the sections and chapters.
23:07:44 [fantasai]
howcome: You want each chapter to start on the first page, and each section to start on the first. You want to set break-before
23:08:16 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: 2.1 says that when determining breaks, you look at the break properties of all the elements that meet at the given margin.
23:08:27 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: It's pretty vague, unfortunately.
23:08:52 [TabAtkins_]
alexmog: page breaks don't prevent margin collapsing, though...
23:10:07 [alexmog]
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/page.html#forced
23:10:20 [TabAtkins_]
TabAtkins_: Specifically, the definition of "top of a page" is underdefined. Does a marging or border on a parent make you no longer at the to pof a page? (The correct answer is no.)
23:10:23 [fantasai]
dbaron: It needs to be defined in a whole bnch of cases. Frex Mozilla has mTopOfPage, which deals solely with the possibility of somethng not fitting -- it lets us know
23:10:37 [fantasai]
dbaron: if we have made any progress in putting things on the page, so that we don't keep breaking and placing no content
23:10:41 [fantasai]
dbaron: For that border does count

23:11:31 [TabAtkins_]
alexmog: If you look at break-after, which is supposed to be consistent with break-before, all browsers collapse break-after.
23:11:48 [TabAtkins_]
szilles: Isn't that the same rule/difficulty in determining if something is at the end of the page?
23:11:51 [TabAtkins_]
alexmog: Yes.
23:12:12 [TabAtkins_]
alexmog: [some sectoin] has a very simply rule that just says a forced break occurs when any elements contributing to the current margin have a forced break.
23:12:24 [TabAtkins_]
alexmog: So you go and do normal margin collapsing, then look at the result.
23:12:43 [fantasai]
...
23:12:53 [fantasai]
alexmog reads from CSS2.1 spec
23:13:17 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: It wouldn't have been written with more than one element if collapsing wasn't meant to happen.
23:13:23 [fantasai]

23:14:55 [TabAtkins_]

23:15:22 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: I say you choose whichever one grants you the most pagebreaks.
23:16:08 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: When collapsing breaks there's nothing "between" your breaks. I think you should choose the last one, because it's the one closest to the next content.
23:16:36 [TabAtkins_]

23:19:07 [TabAtkins_]
alexmog: the 2.1 definition is based on margin-collapsing.
23:19:37 [fantasai]
Florian: We should prioritize authors over implementations, and authors don't want a blank page with just a border.
23:19:42 [TabAtkins_]
alexmog: And if we can avoid changing the very complicated margin-collapsing, that's good.
23:20:08 [fantasai]
szilles advocates for just coming up with a good definition for top-of-page
23:20:46 [fantasai]
szilles: Definition is if you haven't put any content on the page, then you're at the top. And borders aren't content.
23:21:22 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: This is still wayyy simpler than margin collapsing. There's no negatives, no zer-height elements that collapse through, none of that.
23:21:32 [fantasai]
howcome: I think there's some kind of consensus here.
23:22:04 [Mike5]
Mike5 has joined #css
23:22:27 [fantasai]
RESOLVED: page-break-before doesn't create a break if you're at the top of the page, where at the top of the page means no content has been placed. Borders do not count as content.
23:22:43 [fantasai]
Zero-height content counts.
23:22:46 [fantasai]
as content
23:23:09 [fantasai]
dbaron: So placing an empty block counts, but placing start of a block does not count.
23:23:39 [fantasai]

23:25:02 [fantasai]
Alex: I really like CSS2.1 definition because it covers lots of cases in just 2 lines
23:25:16 [fantasai]
howcome: So we have one proposal which is 2.1, based on margin collapsing

I'm fine with the 2.1 definition

s/and isn't a non-replaced block/, or something that doesn't go in a line box and isn't a non-replaced block/
23:26:50 [fantasai]
howcome writes out the definitions
23:27:07 [fantasai]
dbaron: One thing that seems weird is that you have start of a block, that's ok, and end of a block, that's ok, but start *and* end of block, that's not ok
23:27:45 [fantasai]
...
23:27:52 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: The break-afters generate a break
23:28:04 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: The break-befores don't generate a break: they're already on a new page
23:28:46 [fantasai]
fantasai: The thing that's weird is collapsing anything through the content area of an element. We do that for margin collapsing, and its weird. We should not do that here.
23:29:03 [fantasai]
alex: I have a problem with not counting the border as content
23:29:21 [fantasai]
alex: My margin will be after that border, and while I'm asking to be the first thing on the page, I'm not really
23:29:38 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: I think the potential downside of where that might be confusing is less bad than having an entirely blank page with nothing but a border on it.
23:30:11 [fantasai]

23:39:14 [fantasai]
Alex: If you look at continuous media, where instead of page-break you have a large margin
23:39:18 [fantasai]
alex: e.g. 3em margin
23:39:33 [fantasai]
alex: whatever comes after margin is held together by the results of margin-collapse
23:39:49 [howard]
howard has left #css
23:40:22 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: If you're collapsing through this element, where is this break happening?
23:40:44 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: If you have a bunch of break-afters, and you collapse them, and you break the page, the margins that were there get truncated.
23:40:54 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: But after a forced page break, you keep margins at the top.
23:41:39 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: If you have an empty div, and you have set break-before and after on it, and the preceding and following div also have breaks, which page is the middle <div> contributing to?
23:41:58 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: And more importantly, which page is the empty div on?
23:42:29 [TabAtkins_]
alexmog: Where does it say that margins are truncated after the break?

23:43:29 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: [explains the 2.1 spec for it]
23:44:33 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: And this assumes that breaks exist *between* block-level margins, rather than being stuck somewhere *inside* of collapsed margins.

23:52:37 [fantasai]
howcome: I don't think it's in conflict, they're going in the same way

Markus and howcome seem to be ok with the situation

howcome: I'm not tied to the syntax, but I think it shoudl be declarative as you say
23:53:20 [fantasai]
markus: Declarative is good, but you also need JS access
23:53:25 [fantasai]
howcome: First issue is with leaders
23:53:28 [fantasai]
howcome: Bert brought up this point
23:53:38 [fantasai]
howcome: The issue being that he wanted to have control over alignment of leaders
23:53:53 [fantasai]
howcome: If I understood correctly, Bert, you wanted to create a leader that's an arrow
23:54:01 [fantasai]
howcome draws: ABC ------------> 1
23:54:11 [Bert]
-> http://www.w3.org/Style/Examples/007/leaders examples of leaders (hacked, of course, but showing the way I want them)
23:54:14 [fantasai]
howcome: In order for this arrow, which is in the generated content,
23:54:24 [fantasai]
howcome: to make this visually make sense, Bert wants the point of the arrow to connect with the line
23:54:39 [fantasai]
howcome: So that you don't get that effect *draws an arrow where the head is broken from the body*
23:54:52 [fantasai]
ChrisL: That assumes the horizontal lines match up with the arrows

curmet has joined #css
23:54:59 [fantasai]

howcome: the idea is to add a second argument to the leader function,
23:55:34 [curmet]
curmet has left #css
23:56:06 [fantasai]
howcome: I think these are the values you need: 'start', 'end', 'center', 'space', 'pattern'
23:56:43 [fantasai]
howcome: pattern is to make the dots align across lines
23:56:47 [karl]
karl has joined #CSS
23:56:50 [fantasai]
glazou: 'space' should be 'stretch'
23:57:05 [fantasai]
fantasai: Stretching implies stretching the glyph. background-repeat uses 'space'
23:57:23 [fantasai]
howcome: You want these leaders to align. I think this is the most common use case.
23:57:53 [fantasai]
szilles: Don't understand where the space is added.
23:58:03 [fantasai]
dbaron: You put as many characters as will fit. In normal case you right-align them
23:58:17 [fantasai]
dbaron: In space case, you insert spaces between the leaders
23:58:33 [fantasai]
szilles: Need to be clear about whether its between all the characters or between each string
23:58:44 [fantasai]
Bert: Not the way it works in TeX, but it's another option
23:58:55 [fantasai]
Bert: The leader unit is a fixed size, doesn't chnage size
23:59:11 [fantasai]
Bert: Can put space before/after, both, etc. but not inside it
23:59:18 [fantasai]
Tantek: Aren't leaders like border-images?
23:59:37 [glazou]
s/'space' should be 'stretch'/'space' will mean whitespace in web author's mind, please use something else like stretch (just an example)
23:59:47 [fantasai]
Tantek: why not use images
00:00:01 [fantasai]
szilles: Because the common case is to use glyphs
00:00:09 [ChrisL]
typographers also see decorations as glyphs
00:00:40 [fantasai]
fantasai: might want both characters and images
00:01:17 [fantasai]
fantasai talks about matchng the dots to the dots in the font, in size, postion, and shape
00:01:36 [fantasai]
szilles: We've talked about a need for characters, there might also be a need for images
00:02:05 [fantasai]
molly: I think space, which goes characters out to available space, and justification which fits inside the containing block
00:02:08 [fantasai]
????
00:02:18 [fantasai]
molly: What I interpret that as meaning space out the chraacters to take up the width
00:02:21 [fantasai]
howcome: That's right
00:02:31 [fantasai]
howcome: The quesiton is between all characters or only where the repetition is
00:02:37 [fantasai]
szilles: Why not have two values
00:03:12 [fantasai]
fantasai: space and justify
00:03:19 [fantasai]
fantasai: space like border-image and background-repeat
00:03:28 [fantasai]
?: letter-space and pattern-space
00:03:43 [fantasai]
molly: justify makes sense
00:04:03 [fantasai]
molly: This addresses both issues
00:04:12 [fantasai]
howcome: Does anyone need center?
00:04:23 [fantasai]
Bert: Sometimes you want as much space before the leader as well as after
00:04:34 [fantasai]
dbaron: Centered absolutely or centered individually?
00:05:42 [fantasai]
Florian: We're resolving to split the space into two, and not remove any other value

howcome: ok, done
00:12:33 [fantasai]
szilles: One other catch with alignment
00:12:44 [fantasai]
szilles: In Indic languages, the leader aligns with the hanging basline
00:13:20 [fantasai]
szilles: In Japanese it would be centered
00:13:27 [fantasai]
fantasai: That should be handled in the fonts
00:13:51 [fantasai]
szilles: The leader needs to be aligned to the relevant baseline.
00:14:01 [fantasai]
szilles: That may fall out
00:14:18 [fantasai]

howcome: This is basically what I demoed yesterday, where we use the overflow property to set the axis onto which we put out these pages
00:15:29 [fantasai]
howcome: They could be analyzed and split into two, and we could have multiple properties for them
00:15:39 [szilles]
szilles has joined #css
00:15:41 [fantasai]
howcome: We did that at some point in our implementation, but it creates many possibilities
00:15:46 [fantasai]

00:15:53 [fantasai]
howcome: So instead we have four values that cover the needs we have found
00:15:58 [fantasai]
howcome: there might be others
00:16:03 [fantasai]
howcome: not tied to syntax, but we like the functionlity
00:16:25 [fantasai]
howcome: the -controls bit adds the UI
00:16:31 [fantasai]
howcome: native UI for paging
00:17:13 [fantasai]
szilles: I'm concerned that it's not as standardized as scrollbars are
00:17:21 [fantasai]
howcome: It's like HTML5 controls for video
00:17:24 [fantasai]
glazou: that's in the markup
00:17:31 [fantasai]
alex: ... overflow paginator, could be x and y
00:18:00 [fantasai]
howcome: Could split these into 2 properties. Paged thing could be on 2 oveflow, and the others on a diferent property
00:18:25 [fantasai]
howcome clarifies that x in paged-x is about how the pages connect, not which direction of overflow is affected
00:18:33 [fantasai]
glazou: I'm very concerned about the controls bit
00:18:42 [fantasai]
Florian: Does the first bit forbid the UA to have controls?
00:18:55 [fantasai]
howcome: Alex asked, does touch work both places?
00:19:02 [fantasai]
howcome: This just adds visual controls
00:19:19 [fantasai]
dbaron: In the simplest case it could even be a scrollbar, though probably not the best idea, but it could be
00:19:27 [ChrisL]
so the distnction is that the controls take up space
00:19:50 [fantasai]
howcome: We have overflow: scroll;, so we are referring to controls already
00:19:51 [Bert]
q+ to compare to marquee and overflow-style
00:20:22 [fantasai]
fantasai: In scroll vs auto, we're distinguisshing whether the controls are visible when there's no need to scroll, not whether the UA should put controls at all when there is overflow to scroll to
00:20:35 [fantasai]
dbaron: More similar to hidden
00:20:50 [glazou]
q-
00:20:55 [fantasai]
molly: Point out that if the controls are UA-dependent, could be a problem -- authors will want to style it
00:20:55 [glazou]
ack Bert
00:21:18 [fantasai]
Bert: When we introduced marquee, we added overflow-style and had it as a value of overflow-style
00:21:29 [fantasai]

Markus: The default shouldn't be nothing.
00:22:53 [tantek]
where's Tapas when you need him
00:22:57 [fantasai]
dbaron: There are 2 options, in some sense there's no default. You can choose with or without controls
00:23:18 [fantasai]
howcome: This is where we've built a UI through the dom. These controls have been made by the page (shows demo) whereas these are made by the UA
00:23:38 [fantasai]
szilles: I'm still confused about what "this" is that you say should be in CSS
00:23:53 [fantasai]
Adobe: In Acrobat the controls appear on hover
00:24:54 [fantasai]
howcome: you can choose whether UA gives controls or whether author provides controls
00:25:38 [fantasai]
fantasai: What if the author assumes you have a swipe interface for paging, and doesn't provide controls, but I don't have that interface? Then I'm stuck.
00:26:05 [fantasai]
glazou: When you use the overflow property, you just say that the overflow should be visible in some way. You don't make any provision about the means.
00:26:08 [tantek]
q+
00:26:12 [dbaron]
I disagree with Daniel.
00:26:22 [fantasai]
Markus: Here I'm showing you a similar solution using regions and exlucions
00:26:27 [dbaron]
I don't think saying there are "controls" is too constraining.
00:26:32 [fantasai]
Markus: You have a template mechanism that handles overflow.
00:26:46 [fantasai]
Markus: At the bottom there is a little indicator of where you are and how many pages you have
00:26:52 [fantasai]
Markus: If I use the mouse, I get a scrollbar

markus: But you still get a progress indicator, so you know where you are
00:28:17 [fantasai]

00:28:22 [fantasai]
markus: You can inject animations, etc. etc.

Tantek: You mentioned that simple values etc.

00:29:10 [fantasai]
Tantek: I know Opera supports those.
00:29:21 [fantasai]
Tantek: If you've figured that out, I'd love to understand that interaction
00:29:37 [fantasai]
howcome: These properties only belong on overflow shorthand
00:29:44 [fantasai]
Tantek: That's why I think they should go on overflow-style

00:30:18 [fantasai]
fantasai: I agree it should go in overflow-style

00:42:26 [fantasai]
hober: HTML5 doesn't say much about what the video controls should be
00:42:43 [fantasai]
howcome: Depending on what the device is, might have different controls
00:42:54 [fantasai]
Florian: Say what capabilities it has
00:43:28 [fantasai]
molly: I want to step back a moment,I understood that if you use these features and allow the UA specific ontrols, that you wil be able to style those ocntrols
00:43:37 [fantasai]
Florian: If you want to style it, you build it yourself.
00:43:46 [fantasai]
molly: ok
00:43:57 [fantasai]
hober: Ua could provide some hook into its controls, but that's up to the UA
00:44:05 [fantasai]
molly: As long as ppl can create their own controls
00:44:12 [fantasai]
Bert: As longas I as the user can override what the author does
00:44:25 [fantasai]
Bert: I want consistency across pages. I choose my browser.
00:45:12 [fantasai]
fantasai: If the author says, don't put controls, and builds his own out of JS, and the user is lke "I can't deal with these weird controls, I want my own controls", how do you deal with that?
00:45:34 [fantasai]
Florian: Turning on the UA controls is easy. Killing the author controls is not so much.

alex: I think this should be a display property
00:47:14 [fantasai]
alex: If it's overflow property, it applies to everything. But paging a flexbox doesn't make sense.
00:47:49 [fantasai]
alex: All other kinds of layout that support overflow don't need to support paged overflow

16:01:41 [YUMA]
YUMA has joined #css
16:02:04 [sylvaing]
annevk: the CSSOM is a collection of various CSS features exposed through script
16:02:20 [sylvaing]
annevk: such as alternate stylesheets, stylesheets themselves
16:02:35 [sylvaing]
annevk: and a new part is CSS values which is very new
16:03:02 [sylvaing]
annevk: we are now waiting for implementation experience for CSS values
16:03:37 [sylvaing]
florian: we had talked about defining serialization
16:03:48 [sylvaing]
annevk: nothing new at this point

vhardy has joined #css
16:08:24 [sylvaing]

16:08:49 [sylvaing]
fantasai: that was the case for many modules. hence the modularization
16:09:11 [sylvaing]
jdaggett: if I add an at-rule I need a DOM interface so I'm adding things that should be in the OM
16:09:26 [sylvaing]
annevk: if you add an at-rule you should define all the related OM pieces in the same place
16:09:53 [sylvaing]

16:12:52 [sylvaing]
tantek: just like HTML went through a painful process of defining an OM in sync with content out there. Starting with a known feature set would be easier and establish a baseline
16:13:09 [fantasai]
tantek: Instead of redrawing module lines, we should start by creating an OM for CSS 2.1
16:13:57 [sylvaing]
jdaggett: we do not have a consistently defined DOM interface. some modules define new at-rules but implementations may be using different rule constants which should be coordinated across specs
16:14:05 [howard]
howard has joined #css
16:14:32 [sylvaing]
jdaggett: there is no one looking at these features from an OM perspective. It's up to each editor and each editor's level of OM experience e.g. some modules will not define exceptions correctly
16:14:45 [sylvaing]
jdaggett: so specs are inconsistent
16:15:06 [sylvaing]
tantek: I suggest the common reference baseline would be a 2.1 OM
16:15:19 [sylvaing]
jdaggett: how does that help with new features
16:15:35 [alexmog]
alexmog has joined #css
16:15:50 [sylvaing]
fantasai: like non OM features, most new OM features derive from existing features in 2.1 and you would have patterns to base new interfaces on
16:16:30 [sylvaing]
jdaggett: the pattern for what you have to do to specify a new at-rule is not defined; I'm not sure a 2.1 OM defines it. how is that different from what we have now ?
16:17:15 [florian]
florian has joined #css
16:17:18 [sylvaing]
jdaggett: I think we need more: at least a set of how-to guidelines e.g. if you define a new at-rule, these are the things you need to specify
16:17:30 [sylvaing]
tantek: we agree on goals, we're only discussing how to get there
16:18:22 [sylvaing]
jdaggett: I don't think we even have consensus on issues such as prefixed at-rules and how this relates to at-rule constants
16:18:46 [sylvaing]
glazou: this should definitely be specified
16:19:24 [sylvaing]
tantek: we should reach a bar where each module should define its DOM
16:19:26 [fantasai]
Proposal: Modularize CSSOM. Break it up into a a Serialization module, a Values module, an At-Rules module, a Media Queries module, etc.
16:19:42 [sylvaing]
tantek: keeping things separately did not help HTML
16:20:39 [sylvaing]
dbaron: there are modules how define their own OM e.g. Transitions (events), Animations (OM), Fonts, Conditional....
16:21:28 [sylvaing]
dbaron,annevk: Transforms has a value type but we agreed to deprecate the CSSValue type it uses
16:21:39 [sylvaing]
tantek: I think we need something that is up to date with 2.1
16:22:04 [sylvaing]
dbaron: part of the base problem is that DOM L2 Style has a number of features that are wrong, and a number of things we agreed to change but never fixed
16:22:05 [tcelik]
tcelik has joined #css
16:22:16 [sylvaing]
dbaron: we need to define this core baseline so we can build on top of it
16:22:30 [sylvaing]
annevk: as far as values, we deprecated the 2003 model but never replaced it
16:22:55 [sylvaing]
annevk: I didn't want to spec out the new model fully until we at least had some implementation experience with it
16:23:37 [sylvaing]
tankek: is there interop among browsers for 2.1 CSSOM ?
16:23:43 [sylvaing]
dbaron: what do you mean by 2.1 ?
16:23:54 [sylvaing]
tantek: what is in Gecko, Webkit, Trident today ?
16:24:26 [sylvaing]
dbaron: I don't know if it's that that interoperable?
16:24:59 [sylvaing]
annevk: I don't see how reorganizing is going to help us vs. implementors working on it.
16:25:13 [sylvaing]
annevk: there isn't even much discussion
16:25:52 [sylvaing]
dbaron: also, authors don't use the OM that much
16:26:04 [sylvaing]
tantek: isn't it a chicken-and-egg problem; they don't because they can't
16:27:23 [sylvaing]
tantek: Tab was complaining about how many obsolete drafts we have. we have this problem here too e.g. DOM L2 Style.
16:27:35 [sylvaing]
tantek: I'd like to see something that reflects the interoperable state of the world
16:27:37 [dbaron]
dbaron: I think authors don't use the OM much, even what is interoperable. Authors tend to use the model that styles are static and they dynamically change the content-- and I tend to think that's a good thing.

tab: I know that there is demand for a new value based om that wouldn't be string-based. It's a popular author request that is currently done through libs like jQuery
16:29:02 [sylvaing]
tab: we know that there is a use-case in that area
16:29:26 [sylvaing]
dbaron: yes, i've seen author demand for this, as well as for variants of computed style as well as some author demand for the set of matched rules for an element
16:29:58 [sylvaing]

16:30:05 [sylvaing]

glazou, jdaggett: the specs are not understandable or usable hence the attraction of jQuery as a way to use the OM

jdaggett: is it OK to mark specific sections as obsolete at least ?
16:42:32 [sylvaing]

16:47:04 [trackbot]
Created ACTION-395 - Draft note on DOM Level 2 Style [on Tab Atkins Jr. - due 2011-11-08].
16:48:02 [sylvaing]
fantasai: once we agree on the draft notice, we can resolve a PER
16:49:08 [sylvaing]
dbaron: the things people do with jQuery relates to the value API; editing tools need both the value API as well as the stylesheet traversal interface. The latter is not that hard but the current specs are inconsistent and poorly written, but 80% right
16:49:39 [sylvaing]
dbaron: we decided to throw out the value API and rewrite it but the new API is a draft that no one has implemented
16:49:49 [fantasai]
annevk: Only part of the values API is there
16:49:58 [fantasai]
dbaron: If someone tried to implement it, what would happen?
16:50:26 [sylvaing]
sylvaing: does one need to implement it in the engine or could it be experimented with in JS ?
16:50:30 [fantasai]
jdaggett: If it's not a big API...
16:50:32 [sylvaing]
annevk: it could be done in JS
16:50:34 [fantasai]
dbaron: It's a pretty big API
16:51:39 [fantasai]
jdaggett: It seems we have two modules here. I keep hearing that we need something in a firmer state, and the Values API is not in that state
16:51:46 [fantasai]
annevk: I don't think we need to split the draft.
16:52:36 [sylvaing]
jdaggett: I think the stylesheet traversal API has more impact on new features
16:53:04 [sylvaing]
dbaron: it depends on the feature. if we implement the new values API, this would impact CSS3 Fonts features e.g. font-feature-settings would need a whole object model
16:53:37 [AnanKan]

16:53:49 [sylvaing]
jadaggett, dbaron: there is no consistency of design among the at-rule definitions across modules
16:54:03 [sylvaing]
annevk: shouldn't that be solved by review ?
16:54:10 [sylvaing]
tab: we should have guidelines before review
16:55:06 [Rossen]
Rossen has joined #css
16:55:11 [sylvaing]
dbaron: the OM for keyframes rule looks different from what's in 2.1 but it was already implemented so I followed the same model.

arno has joined #css
16:56:14 [anne]
I have to go in four minutes
16:56:30 [sylvaing]
dbaron: as far as we can tell, it's unclear that the people who use these interfaces care about these inconsistencies
16:56:39 [fantasai]
Florian: The people who care do not give sufficient feedback
16:57:11 [sylvaing]
dbaron: one of the ways we judge interest in things is based on feedback on obvious problems
16:57:54 [sylvaing]
glazou: and maybe they don't have to comment because there are shims like jQuery which deal with the problem
16:57:55 [fantasai]
plinss: If something is bad enough, people look at it and decide it's way to unstable, way too much of a mess, to comment on
16:58:14 [sylvaing]
dbaron: that is the values API, not the stylesheet interface. they're not the same thing.
16:59:06 [sylvaing]
fantasai: I edit a lot of specs. I don't know what I need to put in my spec about serialization, OM, values API. I don't know what to do in CSS3 because there is nothing stable for me to build on top of
16:59:33 [sylvaing]
fantasai: once I have something stable then I can reference it and update my modules.
16:59:58 [sylvaing]
fantasai: maybe serialization is stable enough so I could reference it but if stable and unstable things are in the same module I don't know what to do
17:00:01 [tcelik]
I've updated http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/cssom with notes about what people have claimed are author demands. More evidence / statements welcome.
17:01:25 [sylvaing]
jdaggett: I think we need to have someone else co-edit to ensure we document implementation reality
17:01:56 [fantasai]
glazou: John is proposing to have a document reflecting current implementations
17:02:09 [fantasai]
glazou: I'm not sure that the current implementations are so inconsistent that this is undoable
17:02:28 [fantasai]
glazou: Getting a stable spec, that only consists of the stable specs, I don't know that that's useful
17:02:37 [fantasai]
Florian: If you ask me what the stable parts are, I have no idea.
17:02:56 [fantasai]
jdaggett: I think there is value here. If you have a spec that focuses the set of features that have impelemtnations, even if they are inconsistent,
17:03:08 [fantasai]
jdaggett: Trying to iron out those variations, that's value. Even if it's not sexy, it's still value.
17:03:24 [fantasai]
jdaggett: I don't know that it has to be another spec, but we need to get the existing CSSOM spec ...
17:03:47 [fantasai]
glazou: I think what you want is a better use of our time to add warning notes to the current DOM Level 2 spec than what you're proposing
17:03:54 [fantasai]
arronei: This is what our test suites do
17:04:13 [fantasai]
Tantek: I'm going to object John's assertion that we need another oc-editor, the editor's draft was lately updated
17:04:21 [fantasai]
jdaggett: Editing the draft doesn't ensure it's moving towards something stable

17:06:04 [sylvaing]
tantek: writing down what works today, I just want to establish how. can we write it down on the wiki page ?
17:06:29 [sylvaing]
tantek: i just want to capture the request that we want to know what implementations do
17:06:59 [arno]
arno has joined #css
17:07:10 [fantasai]
sylvaing: Anne is definitely the right guy for the values API, but he's not interested in doing the documenting existing stuff
17:07:23 [fantasai]
sylvaing: Putting things on a wiki page doesn't make them happen
17:07:35 [fantasai]

17:15:41 [fantasai]
duga: The Advanced Layout group of IPDF is going to begin work shortly
17:15:54 [fantasai]
duga: our members have been clamoring for more powerful design, adaptive design, for page layout
17:16:10 [fantasai]
duga: Right now when people want to do high design, they go back to JPEG, abspos, things that don't work well for multiple-size devices
17:16:20 [fantasai]
duga: A proposal was made by adobe in PEU3 for more adaptive layout
17:16:25 [bradk]
bradk has joined #css
17:16:34 [fantasai]
duga: Didn't make it into 3, but portions of it turned into CSS Regions and Exclusions
17:16:42 [fantasai]

17:17:15 [fantasai]
jdaggett: There's a bi disconnect that I see between the way EPUB makes their specifications and the work that actually needs to get done.
17:17:33 [fantasai]
jdaggett: If you define a schedule and then try to match features to that schedule, anyone in software will tell you that that doesn't work
17:17:40 [fantasai]
jdaggett: Especially where complexity is involved

MoZ has joined #css
17:17:47 [fantasai]
jdaggett: And when you talk about compelx layouts in CSS, that's by def complex
17:18:01 [fantasai]
bill: The reason we're here is to make sure whe ahve a connection
17:18:12 [fantasai]
jdaggett: A schedule-driven process will not get you something that will be interoperable.
17:18:25 [fantasai]
jdaggett: The way EPUB has operated i nthe past is on-schedule. Whatever you're delivering is built on quicksand
17:18:25 [Bert]
-> http://code.google.com/p/epub-revision/wiki/AdvancedAdaptiveLayoutCharter IDPF Advanced Adaptive Layout working group charter
17:18:31 [fantasai]
jdaggett: You're referencing working drafts of this WG, and those chang.e
17:18:54 [fantasai]
jdaggett: Rather than talk about scheduling, it's much more important to look at for the work of this group, where are the problems that are holding up things. And contribute from that angle. Rather than ctalking about scheduling
17:19:15 [fantasai]
jdaggett: I think basically proposals are here. Would be more helpful if members at EPUB were focusing on what is needed to work out the problems associated with the various feature sthat re being proposed.
17:19:36 [fantasai]
jdaggett: I see this a lot in vertical text layou. EPUB comes with a eature list, but when you have to figure out how these thigns actually work, participation is lacking.
17:19:58 [fantasai]
bill: We ant to make sure participation is there and we contribute to broad open web andd assume open web wants to evolve to handle needs of publishing
17:20:02 [tantek]
tantek has joined #css
17:20:07 [fantasai]
bill: Over time we're getting closer and closer.
17:20:29 [fantasai]
bill: EPUB2 referenced subset of CSS
17:20:58 [fantasai]
bill: EPUB3 took a different approach. We followed the recommendation from the liaison to prefix things, etc.
17:21:11 [fantasai]
jdaggett: We also had ppl form this group of not referencing WDs
17:21:19 [fantasai]
jdaggett: Do what you want, but this will not get you interop
17:21:28 [fantasai]
bill: The market demands were movin on anyway
17:21:39 [fantasai]
dbaron: One thing you mentioned was seeking eventual alignment with web technology.
17:21:53 [fantasai]
dbaron: One of the dangers there if you take a snapshot of a WD is that either one of two things will happen
17:22:08 [fantasai]
dbaron: one is that the set of implementations doing EPUB will be different from Web technology, or same implementations plus flags
17:22:35 [fantasai]
dbaron: And you'll end up with converging implementations within EPUB and converging implementations within the Web, and those two groups diverging
17:22:52 [fantasai]
dbaron: The other possibility is that you'll have common implementations, and one or the other set of specs will end up bein ignored in reality
17:23:27 [fantasai]
szilles: I completely agree with points by john and david, but we are sort of faced with 2 orgs trying to find an effective mechanism for cooperating. They have different constraints.
17:23:34 [fantasai]
szilles: The warnings you express are valid
17:23:56 [fantasai]
szilles: But more productive than trying to change how they're operating, is trying to minimize these kinds of issues or find ways for efffective coperation.
17:24:17 [fantasai]
szilles: In particular one of these seems to be for EPUB to prioritize the feature list, so if we can only tackle some of it we know what to tackle fro myour side
17:24:37 [fantasai]
glazou: Since I'm myself writing an EPUB2/3 editor, taken a look at all the editors , tools, renderers.
17:24:47 [Zakim]
Zakim has joined #css
17:24:48 [fantasai]
glazou: Most of them are based on web engines
17:25:12 [fantasai]
glazou: The Web industry and EBOOK industry share the app layer
17:25:22 [fantasai]
glazou: I don't think they are ogoing to be two different layers of runtimes
17:25:32 [fantasai]
glazou: one for web and one for ebook
17:25:42 [fantasai]
bill: We took decision in EPUB3 on buying that assumption
17:25:57 [fantasai]
bill: Could have moved towards more DocBOok like vocab. Instead reference HTML5/CSS all-in
17:26:06 [fantasai]
bill: Taking hoewver the reality that some of those won't be fully baked
17:26:18 [fantasai]
bill: Decision was popular with vendors, lead to thinks like Apple iBooks based on WebKit
17:26:29 [fantasai]
bill: Downside is that widely adopted modules that are WD
17:26:45 [fantasai]
bill: CSS2.1 is baseline, but 9 modules referenced by EPUB3
17:26:56 [fantasai]
bill: But all of those have some implementation
17:27:03 [fantasai]
bill: We would like guidance from CSSWG.
17:27:09 [fantasai]
bill: We are not W3C.
17:28:04 [fantasai]
bill: As soon as there's cross-browser implementation, we're using those features
17:28:06 [fantasai]
bill: We're here today because we ant to develop an optional add-on module to EPUB.
17:28:31 [fantasai]
jdaggett: I'm telling you that within this group we've had ppl say "we have to do this this way because impl for EPUB already do this this way"
17:28:36 [fantasai]
jdaggett: That's not the right way.
17:28:55 [fantasai]
jdaggett: If it's something that's funamentally wrong, I don't buy that argument.
17:29:23 [fantasai]
bill: We took the decision, knowing that our maintenance strategy for unfinished specs, would be to rev EPUB .1 .2
17:29:42 [fantasai]
jdaggett: Go back to what brady said, Adaptive layout is a minefield.
17:29:56 [fantasai]
jdaggett: It's very complex, it's hard to get right. if you start snapshotting, you will run into trouble.
17:30:05 [fantasai]
glazou: You said cross-browser implementations, you'll add to EPUB
17:30:28 [fantasai]
glazou: It's not beacuse we have cross-browser implementation of something at some point that the spec is stable
17:30:39 [fantasai]
glazou: for us the only moment we can say something is stable enough is when we move from CR to PR.
17:30:44 [fantasai]
glazou: The good example is gradients.
17:31:02 [fantasai]
glazou: We have four incompatible specs for gradients.
17:31:10 [fantasai]
glazou: At some point we may have 2 or 3 compatible implementation
17:31:19 [fantasai]
glazou: If you rely on temporary stuff, if it's not a recommendation
17:31:43 [fantasai]
Florian: I think Steve is a valid point. If we have a scehdule, a feature set, and a quality requirement
17:31:50 [fantasai]
Florain: i.e. spec is advanced enough
17:31:59 [fantasai]
Florian: We can't have these things all at the same time
17:32:09 [fantasai]
Florian: Prioritizing your features is important.
17:32:23 [fantasai]
Florian: We can try to push ahead faster with higher priority things.
17:32:38 [fantasai]
Florian: We have a lot of things, some of which you care, some not so much.
17:32:50 [fantasai]
Florian: We won't exclusively work on your things, but we can give it more wieght
17:33:20 [fantasai]
Florian: We are quality-driven, you are schedule driven. The only way to work together is prioritizing
17:33:28 [mgylling]
mgylling has joined #css
17:33:58 [fantasai]
smfr: the othe rissue of snapshotting WDs is that it puts a burden on implementers
17:34:15 [fantasai]
smfr: We have to maintain old behavior for compatibility, that we really don't want to have to maintain
17:34:27 [fantasai]
smfr: In Ebkit we try to avoid flags, "we are rendering epub"
17:34:38 [fantasai]
smfr: We might not even be aware that EPUB snapshotted some draft spec
17:34:52 [myakura]
s/Ebkit/WebKit/
17:35:05 [fantasai]
Markus: I totally understand where you guys are coming from. Because if you don't push the needle, you wind up with ... Amazon
17:35:27 [fantasai]
Markus: I think he solution to this problem is prioritization Florian brought up. So if you keep separation of content and style
17:35:37 [fantasai]
Markus: We of course don't work on content
17:35:41 [fantasai]
Markus: That is best model to work forward
17:36:11 [fantasai]
szilles: In category of requirements, might be useful to look at what Peter proposed to IDPF as kinds of things publishers are looking for
17:36:29 [fantasai]
duga: Charter does list some priorities, and I epxect next few days we'll see more concrete proposal
17:36:48 [fantasai]
duga: We're defining these as a vendor extesion, but will show what we might depend on.
17:37:04 [fantasai]
duga: You might not do adpative layout on our schedule, but o we depend on calc(), or CSS regions,

howard has left #css
17:37:17 [fantasai]
bill: We need to work together with those.
17:37:33 [fantasai]
szilles: We've had demos from MS and Opera of paginated documents, so they're very much on the structure.
17:37:38 [fantasai]
(using CSS)
17:38:00 [fantasai]
szilles: They are going in that particular direction, so showing the PGT sort of things is relevant. It's written on top of HTML and CSS
17:38:17 [fantasai]
hober: I tihkn echoing florian and john...
17:38:23 [mmielke]
Correction: Amazon is having a model that is based on REC specs (CSS2.1 capabilites) and do not rely on specs in working drafts
17:38:39 [fantasai]
hober: I think there's a diff between source of dependence of WDs in EPUB3 and this new high-design module whatever
17:38:55 [fantasai]
hober: It's one thing to epub-prefix writing modes
17:39:09 [fantasai]
hober: But this last couple days, I've seen some very interesting and very different proposals for doing these kinds fo layouts
17:39:28 [fantasai]
hober: so different that even if we make an amazing amount of progres sin the next 6months, I have no idea what it's going to look like
17:39:51 [fantasai]
hober: Baking in something like regions is petrifying.
17:40:18 [jdaggett_]
fantasai: our specs have different phases
17:40:39 [jdaggett_]
fantasai: you really don't want to depend on something that's not in the stabilizing phase
17:41:03 [jdaggett_]
fantasai: all the layout proposals are in the completely unstable phase
17:41:20 [fantasai]
bill: If you say we shouldn't reference something, then we won't.
17:41:35 [fantasai]
bill: We want to have publishers avoid creating proprietary features
17:41:57 [alexmog]
q+
17:41:57 [fantasai]
howcome: I agree with steve there is strong interested in moving to on-screen pages, so we have common interests
17:42:14 [fantasai]
howcome: My concern with some of these e.g. regions is that they are quite complex and they will take a long time to stabilize
17:42:35 [fantasai]
howcome: My demo shows that we can do 90% without adding a single property in CSS
17:42:49 [fantasai]
bill: The pages things in Opera is awesome. I was showing it at a conference just recently.
17:43:03 [fantasai]
bill: However, that's not what makes EPUB tick. The EPUB content isn't content that paginates.
17:43:05 [Bert]

17:43:09 [fantasai]
bill: It's ... orchestrated

17:43:29 [fantasai]
bill: I welcome paged views, but it's not what EPUB has

17:45:31 [fantasai]
alex Around 10 years ago, MS had an epub format which was subset of HTML+CSS
17:45:55 [fantasai]

peter == Peter Sorotokin
17:48:21 [fantasai]
peters: We have a lot of idfferences, not only how the standards is driven, but also how these documeents actually live
17:48:29 [fantasai]
peters: Complex websites get updated daily. Books don't
17:48:40 [fantasai]
peters: The JS on the Web, you can't afford for books on the web.
17:48:56 [fantasai]
peters: You want to publish it and forget about it, not maintain it.
17:48:57 [fantasai]
peters: Puts a lot of pressure for having declartive ways of doing things.
17:49:01 [fantasai]
peters: pressure is very differernt
17:49:17 [fantasai]
peters: I was voicing a lot of similar concerns about referencing CSS WDs in IDPF
17:49:25 [fantasai]
peters: A lot of these references come from East Asian market
17:49:42 [fantasai]
peters: There are competing standards there. If we give up and not do it for 2 years, it's saying we won't do EBooks with CSS.
17:50:00 [fantasai]
peters: You're lucky, there is no CSSX, nobody is trying to fork it or do someting completely different.
17:50:08 [fantasai]
peters: We have this problem in ebooks, we cannot ignore
17:50:26 [fantasai]
peters: One of our considerations for advanced layout proposal is to make sure it can be implemented today on top of existing browsers
17:50:39 [fantasai]
peters: As long as we can do it today, we can be sure we can do it in future borwsers.
17:50:46 [fantasai]

17:52:02 [fantasai]
Bert: two wasy to do that
17:52:19 [fantasai]
Bert: One is to have timely info from EPUB of what they mean, so we can within the littel flexiblity we have, to work on their things faster

Bert: Steer you into somehting that's a littel bit safe. How do we make sure that happen?
17:53:01 [fantasai]
Bert: Way to do that is liaisons, need people on both sides to communicate
17:53:13 [fantasai]
Bert: maybe I should take some responsibility for that, it's in scope for my work anyway.
17:53:27 [fantasai]

I'm a little confused about the confusion around communicating stability of CSS specs, isn't that what Beijing did/does (2007, 2010) ?
18:00:38 [fantasai]
szilles: Adobe has been trying to pieces of that mechanism that are hard to replicate in JS and migrate them into CSS
18:00:52 [fantasai]
szilles: on a timescale that fits with CSS. Because there are solutions that work in the interim
18:01:02 [fantasai]

18:48:25 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: And what it means if we don't have two impls passing those new tests.
18:48:47 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: To the 2nd q, it doesn't mean anything - we're just moving to better interop. It doesn't revoke our Rec status.
18:49:16 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: To the 1st q, I think somebody needs to make sure everything's in order and nothing's been lost (general vetting), and then we can just create a new snapshot any time.
18:49:34 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: Should we have a regular schedule for that, so I can predictably work on it? Otherwise things tend to sit.
18:49:41 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Sounds good. What schedule do you want?
18:50:01 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: I think it should be in conjunction with publishing errata, so tests over the new errata show up at the same time.
18:50:10 [TabAtkins_]
plinss: I think that makes a lot of sense, it's a no-brainer.
18:50:33 [TabAtkins_]
plinss: Gerard's been reviewing a bunch of tests, and have a bunch flagged now with problems, but no one's working on them.
18:50:44 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: I think one of the challenges is prioritization.
18:51:00 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: Gerard is making a lot of comments (others too) - some are corrections, some are improvements.
18:51:17 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: But they get the same prioritization. I'd like to prioritize a correction versus an optional improvement.
18:51:22 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: We should jump on errors.
18:51:47 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: When I come into work in the morning, though, I dunno if I should work on 2.1 tests or css3 new tests.
18:51:58 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: We've got a lot of specs approaching CR or even Rec that need tests.
18:52:04 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: But I've got a finite amount of time in my day.
18:52:13 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: So some help in prioritizing would be helpful.
18:52:28 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: You also wanted a snapshot at the time of errata pub.
18:52:43 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: I'm not sure how long it takes to go from PER to Rec, but we are *way* behind on tracking 2.1 issues.
18:52:51 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: Right. It's never on the agenda.
18:53:09 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: And simple, I stopped tracking them - I switched to other specs. I was never even an editor, but I was doing most of the tracking.
18:53:34 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: So we need somebody to track the issues for 2.1. They need to start now, track into the future, and move backwards to the LC deadline, which is a lot of stuff.
18:53:45 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: And once we have a list, we can do a few issues each telcon and make progress.
18:53:56 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: And make sure that resolutions end up in the errata and the draft.

http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css2.1 says "Last mailing list sweep 2011-01-07 – arronei "
18:55:53 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: If you can maintain a date range that you have definitely covered, that would be very useful.
18:56:15 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: So if somebody decides to help you, they can just start at the last date you've touched and work backwards.
18:56:39 [TabAtkins_]

18:57:28 [szilles]
szilles has joined #css
18:57:38 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: Last idea - encourage the focus to fall on CSS3 modules, from a testing perspective, rather than continuing to focus exclusively on 2.1.
18:58:05 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: One thing to keep in mind is that all tests in 2.1 are a subset of the tests we'll need in css3.
18:58:24 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: So for B&B3, we'll just take all the relevant tests from 2.1, convert to reftest if possible, and then augment with new tests.
18:58:41 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Because that's easier than just writing entirely new tests.
18:59:31 [TabAtkins_]
plinss: In most cases, that's nothing more than adding a new spec link to the existing test. No moving, no copying, just add a new link and Shepherd will pick it up and track.
18:59:53 [gsnedders]
How does Shepherd cope with tests becoming reftests?
19:00:33 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: Even if we moved all the 2.1 tests for B&B to B&B tests, we're still not complete.
19:00:35 [plinss]
not an issue, it just adds the reference
19:00:36 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: So should we prioritize writing more css3 tests, or continue prioritizing 2.1.
19:00:55 [TabAtkins_]

JohnJansen: Agreed, but I'm not sure that we should *encourage* them to work on 2.1.
19:01:42 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: As a WG, we should give guidance to people who want to participate, and we should guide them to work on 3.
19:01:56 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: Two types of tests - one is to validate the spec, and one is to improve interop.
19:02:09 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: For the former, the priority should be writing for css3. For the latter...
19:02:21 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: I don't want to discourage 2.1 tests. We're still undertesting parts of the spec.
19:03:13 [TabAtkins_]
TabAtkins_: So if someone comes up and says "I want to work on tests", we should encourage specific css3 tests.
19:03:22 [TabAtkins_]
TabAtkins_: But if they want to work on 2.1 tests specifically, that's cool.
19:03:53 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: We should have a list of specs that need testing help, but Gerard, for example, really wants to work on 2.1 interop, and that's fine.
19:04:11 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: We can put a list on the wiki of specs that are in maintenance and could use tests.
19:04:31 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: And additionally, we don't know and can't really track what parts of 2.1 need tests, we just have sort of a gut feeling.
19:04:36 [howard]
howard has left #css
19:04:40 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: We can provide rough guidance there too, though.
19:05:10 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: My preferred idea is that we're just done with 2.1, it's Rec, and we have a regular maintenance schedule, but it's not a living spec that needs active attention.
19:05:44 [TabAtkins_]
arronei: We need a per-spec maintenance schedule.
19:05:53 [TabAtkins_]
plinss: Probably in conjunction with the snapshot.
19:06:09 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: We don't have anything new to snapshot yet, but we have a lot of things to errata.
19:06:34 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: I don't see anything being added to the 2010 snapshot that's not already in the 2011 snapshot.
19:06:48 [TabAtkins_]
arronei: Why not put errata in there?
19:07:10 [TabAtkins_]
plinss: We can have a list of "these specs are in Rec, here's their errata", etc.
19:07:42 [TabAtkins_]

arronei: I think it's good to publish an annual snapshot anyway. I want to see the 2011 snapshot, not the 2010 snapshot.

TabAtkins_: It's difficult to tell the difference between "there was no change, so no updates" and "the spec is dead, and it's out-of-date".
19:09:06 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: And without a deadline to the issue tracking, work will grow to fill the alloted time.
19:09:31 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: With a specific once-per-year date or something, we know when things are expected and have a push to get the necessary things done.
19:09:56 [TabAtkins_]
arronei: I'm hearing that we want a maintenance schedule. Should we set one up for 2.1 right now?
19:10:12 [TabAtkins_]
arronei: And beyond that, each spec can have its own schedule (or hook into the existing one, we can evaluate per module).
19:10:19 [TabAtkins_]
arronei: But we should at least nail down 2.1's schedule.
19:10:25 [TabAtkins_]

fantasai: Should we set a goal to have all issues in the tracker by the Feb meeting? Bert, is that workable?
19:10:41 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: Yes.
19:11:14 [TabAtkins_]
RESOLVED: Have all 2.1 issues filed in bugzilla by the february meeting.
19:11:27 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: I think 2.1 issues are best addressed on the mailing list, not in a f2f.
19:11:44 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Right, this is just a deadline for getting them in a tracker, not resolving them.
19:11:45 [dbaron]
dbaron: We should at least attempt to deal with them on the mailing list before bringing them to a f2f meeting.
19:12:00 [TabAtkins_]
RESOLVED: Publish an updated version of 2.1 and its testsuite annually.
19:12:28 [Ruinan]
Ruinan has left #css
19:13:09 [TabAtkins_]
RESOLVED: Update the site/wiki/etc to publicly prioritize testing css3 modules rather than 2.1.
19:13:34 [TabAtkins_]
Bert: Once a year seems quite fast. More like every 5 years seems more reasonable.
19:14:06 [TabAtkins_]
plinss: We should keep the once-a-year as a review cycle. If it turns out that the issues are tiny, okay, we'll skip publishing this year.
19:14:17 [TabAtkins_]
PROPOSED EDITED RESOLUTION: Ensure that 2.1 is up-to-date yearly.
19:14:56 [gsnedders]
IMO publishing once a year makes sense if there are non-editorial issues. Even if the issues are tiny it's probably still worth publishing if they have normative consequences.
19:15:05 [TabAtkins_]
plinss: Should we commit to publishing an annual snapshot?
19:15:58 [TabAtkins_]
RESOLVED: Publish a snapshot annually.
19:16:21 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: I think we should try to address 2.1 issues on the telcon each week.
19:16:26 [TabAtkins_]
plinss: Once we get some together, yeah.
19:16:41 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: I think we should try to resolve them on the mailing list first.
19:17:01 [TabAtkins_]
plinss: Yes. But once a proposal appears on the mailling list, quickly discuss it for telcons.
19:17:18 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: Another thing - I don't yet know how to prioritize the comments to the list for the current 2.1 testsuite.
19:17:45 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: If it's invalid, fix it immediately.
19:18:05 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Tests that are imprecise (impls can pass when they actually fail the spec) should be fixed next.
19:18:25 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: And then issues with metadata or reusability are nice-to-fix, but not strictly necessary.
19:18:36 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Every time we snapshot, the first two types should have all been fixed.
19:18:43 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: The last should be fixed as time allows.
19:19:12 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: I agree with that.
19:19:31 [TabAtkins_]
JohnJansen: I don't yet know when I should make sure that's done by.
19:19:48 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: The last pub was June 2011, so the next will be June 2012, since we're doing yearly.
19:20:16 [fantasai]

19:20:16 [TabAtkins_]

19:25:45 [TabAtkins_]

19:25:52 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: #3 is the current spec which is totally crazy.
19:26:01 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: #4 is what I think is correct.
19:26:13 [TabAtkins_]
smfr: I think we should look at different border widths.
19:26:44 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: I picked this for a specific reason.
19:27:12 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: ...
19:27:39 [TabAtkins_]
smfr: Should border-radius influence what this corner-join should look like?
19:27:49 [TabAtkins_]
smfr: In the absence, it's pretty obvious - you just go corner-to-corner.
19:27:53 [smfr]
https://bug-9197-attachments.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=30423
19:28:09 [TabAtkins_]
smfr: This diagram shows our logical interpretation which is independent of border-radius.
19:28:26 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: That doesn't work when one of the sides is very narrow or 0.
19:28:41 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: You get a thick border that curves down, and then suddenly changes color at these two triangles, and that looks really bad.
19:28:43 [smfr]
http://jsfiddle.net/jMb8k/
19:29:01 [fantasai]
fantasai^: The reason I chose equal widths is that we know the angle must vary to zero when the width of either side is zero, and there are multiple ways to map the ratio of widths onto angles, but 1:1 is definitely 45deg.
19:29:03 [AndroUser]
AndroUser has joined #css
19:29:10 [fantasai]
fantasai^: The quesiton here is how do you interpret "45deg"
19:29:44 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: Did you consider that the spec is mostly correct, but it should be looking at the curvature of the padding edge instead of border-edge?
19:29:58 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: What if there's no curvature?
19:30:51 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: The underlying algorithm is to find the point on the border curve where the tangent's angle equals the ratio of the border widths.
19:31:46 [TabAtkins_]
plinss: So find the angle that you would have without curvature, take the normal of that, then find the point on the outer curve with a matching tangent.
19:32:00 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: That *sounds* right, but I'm not certain off the top of my head.
19:33:46 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: Based on the fiddle, if we run the algorithm we're thinking of, it would produce the funny backwards-facing transition line that we don't want.
19:34:10 [tcelik]
Frankly, I don't want to resolve this without a designer in the room.
19:34:34 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: I *think* you take the ratio of the two widths and apply that to 90deg.
19:34:57 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: Right, that's not our interpretation, and our intepretation is wrong.
19:35:09 [tcelik]
If the goal is some sort of aesthetic ideal, we should base it on input from visual designer(s). Basing it on convenience of math or some approximate visual ideal is probably not a good way to resolve this.
19:35:27 [fantasai]
tcelik: there's one on your left
19:36:16 [TabAtkins_]
plinss: I think it's take the line from the inner to outer corner, invert it over the 45deg line, then take the normal and match the tangent.
19:36:47 [tcelik]
fantasai - and I observe that he's scratching his head.
19:36:54 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: I think I agree with you on the outside point. I'm not certain that "closest point on the inside edge" is correct.
19:38:17 [TabAtkins_]
[some unminuted discussion about inner point]
19:38:40 [tcelik]
ok I think we should issue a public call for proposals for how to resolve this issue (with the visual samples above as an initial set of possibilities, open to others), and then invite visual designers to provide input (on www-style)
19:39:15 [tcelik]
I don't think we should spend further time trying to resolve this among this group in the f2f - I don't think is either a good use of our f2f time, nor will it result in a visually good solution.
19:39:35 [TabAtkins_]
I disagree, tcelik. This is productive so far.
19:41:51 [fantasai]
plinss: You take the angle you'd have without a curve. Mirror it over 45deg (so a r45deg line won't change), then take the normal and find the tangent on the outer curve
19:41:58 [fantasai]
plinss says to take the tangent on the inner curve
19:42:18 [fantasai]
fantasai says she remembers trying that, and it gives bad results -- you want the shortest distance from the chosen outer point
19:43:02 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: I believe a case something like "border-width: thick thin; border-radius: thin thick;" can produce bad transitions with this rule.
19:43:43 [TabAtkins_]
plinss: I think that has the right behavior. It's at least the limit behavior.
19:44:13 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: Actually, this may not be a big deal either. [mutters over details]

Topic: text-transform issue
19:46:38 [TabAtkins_]
florian: Look at point 4.
19:47:50 [dbaron]
or, better, https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Tracker/actions/396 which is now "ACTION-396: Detail the algorithm options for position of color transitions on rounded borders, and produce mockups for lots of corner cases."
19:48:30 [TabAtkins_]
jdaggett_: The use-case for text-transform:full-size-kana is that in ruby, small kana is mapped to full kana, because otherwise they're too small to be readable.
19:48:38 [TabAtkins_]
jdaggett_: That's really the only use-case for this transform.
19:48:45 [TabAtkins_]
jdaggett_: And it's relatively small.
19:49:03 [TabAtkins_]
jdaggett_: I propose that instead of doing these small use-cases, we have an at-rule that lets you do arbitrary transformations.
19:49:26 [TabAtkins_]
jdaggett_: So authors can handle these themselves rather than having to come to us and get it included in a spec.
19:49:41 [TabAtkins_]
jdaggett_: I don't think this kana transform is unworthy, but it's a relatively small use-case.
19:49:48 [TabAtkins_]
florian: I think there are two main cases for a mechanism like this.
19:49:59 [TabAtkins_]
florian: First is the full-size-kana case. Well-defined and small.
19:50:17 [TabAtkins_]
florian: Another place where it's useful is removing accents from letters. We can't have a generic algo for this, because it depends on language and context.
19:50:31 [tcelik]
to remove accents?
19:50:33 [TabAtkins_]
florian: But a specific author and specific document can do this.
19:50:53 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: Dropping accents tends to be done *per word*. It can't even be done per documnet.
19:51:07 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: In Farsi, diacritics usually arn't written, but some are preserved for readability.
19:51:28 [TabAtkins_]
florian: There are still useful cases where it's solveable.
19:51:41 [TabAtkins_]
florian: For cases that still aren't solveable, well, they're already not solved.
19:52:03 [TabAtkins_]
florian: Another case - old-fashioned long s may want to be transformed into a modern s. That's not something we'll probably ever care about as a group.
19:52:19 [fantasai]
fantasai^: but in some words, they are preserved because otherwise the word would be ambiguous
19:52:20 [TabAtkins_]
jdaggett_: And in Japanese you coul dhave rules that shift from one form of kana to another form. Tiny use-cases.
19:52:29 [fantasai]
fantasai^: you cannot solve this use case without a dictionary
19:52:49 [TabAtkins_]
jdaggett_: For i18n, it's simpler to just give people a rule. If we find people using a particular kind consistently, we can then standardize it.
19:53:04 [TabAtkins_]
howcome: I think this is a good idea, and is similar to @counter-style.
19:53:18 [TabAtkins_]
jdaggett_: I propose then that we drop this property value and move towards defining this transform rule and its syntax.
19:53:27 [tcelik]
specifically: text-transform: uppercase turns "0.1µF" into "0.1MF"
19:53:30 [TabAtkins_]
szilles: One concern I always raise is, is this opening a security hole?
19:54:20 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: It seems like anything you can do here, you can do with a font.
19:54:27 [TabAtkins_]
TabAtkins_: or in many cases, just ordinary javascript.
19:54:41 [TabAtkins_]
dbaron: As an aside, I'm not crazy about the specific syntax being proposed, but I won't get into that now.
19:55:11 [TabAtkins_]
stearns: I like this idea, but should the full-size-kana rule still be added, since it seems useful?
19:55:59 [TabAtkins_]
jdaggett_: Given that the use-case is only for Ruby in japanese, and only for people who want to keep their original content that comes with small kana, I don't think we need to.
19:56:25 [TabAtkins_]
szilles: A solution would be to use *this* transform as an example in the spec.
19:56:31 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: The table is non-trivial.
19:56:45 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: And the *idea* that you can ask the UA for this sort of thing is new and strange.
19:57:25 [TabAtkins_]
fantasai: If it's tricky and unintuitive, nobody will do it though.

PeterL: The point is they are *not* parameters, because it is not a *function*.
21:21:44 [brianman]
You probably want .... radial-gradient(center: 20% 20%, shape: cover ellipse, colors: |blue, red, black|) ... but something other than the pipe character.
21:22:01 [chsiao]

21:22:03 [dbaron]
this is starting to look more like Apple's original proposal
21:22:11 [Bert]
fantasai: I hear objections to commas, because that makes it different from C. I dont' hear that my eample is unreadable.
21:22:17 [brianman]
Your syntax above isn't clear on what the commas separate. Are they separating colors or the next param pair?
21:22:30 [Bert]
JohnD: It's not C. It's consistency with other parts of CSS.
21:22:38 [brianman]
Can you repeat your specific example, fantasai?
21:22:44 [Bert]
fantasai: We dont' use commas between values in CSS.
21:23:16 [Bert]
[For fantasai's idea, see e-mail linked earlier]
21:23:23 [brianman]
[There are like 20 emails.]

21:23:41 [Bert]
Rossen: fantasai's is not necessarily easier.
21:24:19 [Bert]
... Functional syntax is hiding three gradient properties. Why do need to be in the notation, not in proeprties?
21:24:32 [brianman]
Are you referring to this flavor: radial-gradient(<shape> keyword <position> keyword <stops) ?
21:24:33 [Bert]
Tab: They are values, gradietns aren't properties.
21:24:45 [Bert]
... We don't add twenty-something properties for images.
21:24:58 [Bert]
... Can add @rule or point to SVG.
21:25:15 [Bert]
... But gradients are right at the edge, can still be in CSS, n a funtion.
21:25:42 [Bert]
sylvaing: At some poijt we switch to SVG, you say. Then we need to inline SVG.
21:26:06 [Bert]
ErikD: [missed]
21:26:19 [Bert]
... Doesn't seem natural to me.
21:26:45 [Bert]
Simon: Trabsforms has functional notations. But all numeric.
21:26:50 [bradk]
rect() does not require commas: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visufx.html#value-def-shape
21:27:07 [dbaron]
rect() is an accident from the examples and the normative prose in CSS 2.0 mismatching
21:27:17 [smfr]
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/FXTF/raw-file/tip/filters/publish/Filters.html#FilterFunction
21:27:25 [brianman]
Why is "radial-gradient(circle from center as red, blue)" better than "radial-gradient(circle from center, red, blue)"? In my opinion it's worse.
21:27:43 [Bert]
Tab: Filter functions shorthand in CSS looks like comma-separted now, but will change them to look more like CSS proeprty. Don't need th ecommas. Space is enough.
21:28:01 [Bert]
Simon: Then we need to do that for trnasforms too, Consistency.
21:28:21 [ed]
s/Doesn't seem natural to me./the "from ... as" syntax doesn't seem natural to me./
21:28:39 [Bert]
Luke: Need More general syntax system than the English word thrown here and there.
21:28:56 [Bert]
fantasai: Shorthand and indivisual propeties if needed.
21:28:56 [glazou]
q+
21:29:24 [Bert]
Simon: @-rule, like keyframe [...]
21:29:43 [Bert]
... Use JSON :-)
21:29:48 [plinss]
ack glazou
21:29:58 [glazou]
I would like to avoid "silent" tokens
21:30:07 [glazou]
i.e. like in genetics, genes that express nothing
21:30:17 [glazou]
if we could keep meaningful stuff only
21:30:21 [glazou]
please let's do that
21:30:34 [brianman]
Clarify, glazou?
21:30:34 [glazou]
in that light, from and as are meaningless
21:30:39 [brianman]
Ah.
21:30:44 [glazou]
they help readability by humans
21:30:48 [glazou]
don't help the syntax
21:30:50 [brianman]
I would agree on 'as' but 'from' has some value.
21:30:57 [Bert]
Shane: Pretty strong relation to JSON idea. name:value idea.
21:30:59 [glazou]
and also complexity parsing
21:30:59 [brianman]
It solves the size version position problem with lengths.
21:31:15 [Bert]
Florian: That's not what was proposed here.
21:31:55 [smfr]
gradient(shape circle, from left, as red, green)
21:32:08 [Vlad]
Vlad has joined #css
21:32:12 [brianman]
Useless as in that version, smfr.
21:32:12 [smfr]
gradient(shape circle from left as red, green)
21:32:13 [Bert]
Shane: Those "silent" tokens exist in JSON, too.
21:32:30 [Bert]
... Slight difference in tokens.
21:32:49 [Bert]
fantasai: Can vary order, although it looks weird with shape at the end.
21:33:00 [brianman]
Sidenote: I think from is the wrong word. At is a better word.
21:33:05 [Bert]
JohnD: Maye be readable, but allows syntaxes that are gibberish.
21:33:08 [brianman]
In light of offset focal point in the future.
21:33:20 [Bert]
PeterL: Gibberisgh is loaded term.
21:33:57 [fantasai]
peterl: comma-separated numbers are gibberish to me if I'm not intimately familiar with the order of arguments
21:34:01 [Bert]
Shane: Is it better if it were order-independent and we say we can use it in other situations, too?
21:34:12 [brianman]
It can't be completely order independent. The color stops.
21:34:20 [Bert]
JohnD: It's what an author expects.
21:34:32 [glazou]
+1
21:34:35 [Bert]
Molly: Solve deoendence on order with education.
21:34:42 [glazou]
won't work
21:34:45 [Bert]
... And a question:
21:35:03 [Bert]
... What Simon just wrote is beutifule. What is the problem with it?
21:35:21 [Bert]
Simon: Complex grouping, precendence issues...
21:35:35 [Bert]
fantasai: Property values have this already.
21:35:40 [dbaron]
The "shape" in what Simon wrote doesn't seem to me to add anything useful.
21:35:48 [Bert]
howcome: Need to start with "from" right?
21:36:17 [brianman]
@dbaron it has value here: radial-gradient(size 25px 25px, from 25px 25px, red, green)
21:36:49 [brianman]
s/value/usefulness/
21:37:03 [Bert]
Simon; CSS grammar doesn't restict what goes insoide (), does it?
21:37:06 [Bert]
Bert: Correct.
21:37:11 [rossen]
bert: didn't have time to look at the proposed syntax, would like to come back and comment in a week
21:37:25 [Bert]
Florian: Should we allow ourselves the same flexibility inside () as for other values.
21:37:47 [dbaron]
brianman, I was specifically referring to the "shape" rather than the other keywords
21:37:49 [Bert]
howcome: Not more restrictive, just using more keywords, with may be more or less intuitive.
21:38:00 [Bert]
fantasai: [missed]
21:38:23 [brianman]
@dbaron - so you want "radial-gradient(circle...) and "radial-gradient(size 25px 25px, ...)" ... Meaning only a keyword in the size case?
21:38:31 [Bert]
Tab: CSS is designed for English speakers.
21:39:10 [Bert]
PeterL: No consensus?
21:39:14 [brianman]
... or are you saying that the from is clear enough that the other param doesn't need it?
21:39:19 [fantasai]
fantasai^: gradients is a particularly tricky case because there are many arguments of the same type that need to be disambiguated
21:39:24 [TabAtkins_]
A current example of using keywords in functional notation:
21:39:31 [TabAtkins_]
file:///home/tabatkins/csswg/css3-lists/Overview.html#symbols-function
21:39:32 [Bert]
Molly: Seems less to do with keywords, more to do with notation, i.e., the brackets.

Frankie has joined #css

... That means something for computer scientists.
21:39:48 [TabAtkins_]
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-lists/#symbols-function
21:40:01 [Bert]
... Simon's examples in IRC make sense to me.
21:40:12 [Bert]
... What is the pb with those?
21:40:18 [brianman]
@Bert - Color stops problem.
21:40:34 [Bert]
... Is it the notation? The limitations?
21:40:47 [Bert]
Simon: No consensus about needed the shape.
21:41:03 [Bert]
... We need to think about all the things that use func. notation.
21:41:05 [brianman]
1. The color stops are different from the shape/size/location params. 2. the color steps are a list.
21:41:30 [brianman]
2 - If you're trying to get order-variability support, you need to group the color stops
21:41:35 [lgombos]
lgombos has joined #css
21:41:37 [Bert]
Florian: Values in general; some have just numbers, some have extra things to make it clearer. So far we didn't consider that inconstsient.
21:41:41 [brianman]
1 - I think of the color stops as a different thing than the params...just like for linear.
21:41:46 [Bert]
... Why do we think it is incosistent here?
21:42:11 [Bert]
PeterL: Transforms use a matric, that is a tradition, makes sense to people, no need to label it.
21:42:19 [Bert]
... What now?
21:42:29 [Bert]
s/matic/matrix/
21:42:42 [Bert]
Tab: Want to add a focal point later to gradients.
21:42:58 [Bert]
... More general discussion about notations later.
21:43:06 [brianman]
For those that didn't read the e-mail, with one slight adjustment I could accept Elika's radial syntax.
21:43:10 [Bert]
... Let's settle on radial gradients now.
21:43:38 [Bert]
Brad: linear gradiesnt have spaces.
21:43:50 [Bert]
... Spaces separate items in a list.
21:44:06 [fantasai]
Brad: Linear gradients already has "to", already uses spaces to separate certain items, and uses commas in a way that's consistent with how we use them in other property values
21:44:06 [Bert]
... We are only putting () around them here.
21:44:28 [Bert]
Tab: Poll on gradients, and general notation discussion later.
21:44:40 [brianman]
Isn't tha the same as yesterday, Tab?
21:44:44 [Bert]

21:45:38 [Bert]
... Schedule alternative syntaxes discussion.
21:46:04 [Bert]
fantasai: That's terrible. Have to learn two syntaxes.

21:47:29 [fantasai]

21:47:35 [fantasai]
sylvaing: why should we change it?
21:47:36 [Bert]
[two many talking at the same time]
21:47:50 [fantasai]
plinss: I think it's a win for readability and understandability, and a big win for extensibility

fantasai: Radial with offset center.
21:48:52 [dbaron]
To be clear: I really don't like "shape circle", since "circle" is obviously a shape so "shape" is redundant -- unless we do something more explicitly property:value-like.
21:48:58 [Bert]
Tab: circle at offset X X
21:49:18 [Bert]
JohnD: At some point it gets easier to have an @-rule, as simon said.
21:49:43 [Bert]

Tab: Yes, and at some point we say let's not extend any further.
21:50:40 [Bert]
... We can have that discussion in the future.
21:50:51 [Bert]
... But keep open possibility to extend in current syntax.

21:52:26 [JohnJansen]
brianman, can you post what slight adjustment you need in order to accept Elika's syntax?
21:52:30 [brianman]
sure

B.2 radial-gradient(3em 5em at 1em 2em with red, orange, yellow)
21:53:40 [brianman]
A=WD, I prefer A but I'm fine with C. I dislike B for at least two reasons.
21:53:48 [Bert]
Tab: Second is Elika's
21:54:04 [Bert]
... 3rd is a variant, with "," instead of as
21:54:47 [Bert]
Luke: Option missing is to name the first params.
21:55:04 [Bert]
Florian: Not sure this is the right set of options for the poll.
21:55:13 [Bert]

Topic: Variables
22:07:12 [glazou]
plinss: and variables ?
22:07:14 [glazou]
ah ok
22:07:26 [Bert]
Tab: We talked about it in Seattle. I revised things since.
22:07:27 [JohnJansen]
dbaron, we're going to power through a bit of variables first, then do the joint meeting. short break before joint meeting
22:07:32 [Bert]
... Let's go over it.
22:07:47 [Bert]
... Variables were @-rules before.
22:08:04 [Bert]
... That has scoping problems, etc.
22:08:14 [Bert]
... So new idea is to define data-* properties.
22:08:32 [Bert]
... Can be any name after data-. Need to define the syntax exactly.
22:08:38 [Bert]
... Later.
22:08:51 [Bert]
... They have arbitrary name and arbitrary value.
22:09:05 [Bert]
.. Attaches these proeprties to an element.
22:09:20 [Bert]
... Follows cascade, inheritance, exactly like every othe rproperty.
22:09:27 [Bert]
Markus: So always inherited?
22:09:34 [Bert]
Tab: Yes, always inherited.
22:09:47 [Bert]
... A data- property doens't do anything by itelf.
22:09:58 [Bert]
... But you can use them by referring to them.
22:10:04 [Bert]
... Example 1:
22:10:33 [Bert]
... Sets data-border-color on :root.
22:10:42 [Bert]
... Inherits to everything.
22:10:54 [Bert]
... An H1 later on has this property.
22:11:14 [Bert]
... Can refer to is: background: data(border-color)
22:11:24 [Bert]
.. Example 2:
22:11:30 [Bert]
s/.. /.../
22:12:03 [Bert]
... Easier to understand, at least when you understand cascade and inheritance. :-)
22:12:20 [Bert]
... Libraries can declare their own variables.
22:12:32 [glazou]
q+
22:12:34 [Bert]
... With this system you just set it on the root, and won't interfere.
22:12:55 [arno]
arno has joined #css
22:13:42 [Bert]
JohnD: name collision?
22:13:54 [Bert]
Tab: Still possible , but addresses the majority of them.
22:14:12 [Bert]
JohnD: So each of these data-* are in the cascade and visible to any element.
22:14:29 [Bert]
dbaron: Yes, all inherited.

Tab: Then nothing outside that class they are not there, that's inheritance.
22:15:15 [Bert]
dbaron: Some library that deals with a subtree.
22:15:19 [Bert]
Tab: Such as widgets.
22:15:29 [Bert]
dbaron: Tehre are other kinds of libraries.
22:15:52 [Bert]
johnd: You say it resolves na,me collisions, but it simplifes, eliminates global scopes.
22:16:03 [Bert]
PeterL: Not eliminated problem, bur reduced.
22:16:15 [Bert]
howcome: when do you know a value is invalid?
22:16:21 [glazou]

Tab: At computed value time.
22:16:34 [Bert]
... Say it recolves to color: foo
22:16:58 [Bert]

... We should start to understand CSS 3.

... An overview would be useful.
22:37:13 [Bert]
... Michael will have a list in a second.
22:37:18 [dbaron]

22:37:46 [Bert]
... Not a bad idea, but may negatively impact the reading order, with braille and screen readers, may affect tab order.
22:37:55 [Bert]
... May need a solution.
22:38:10 [Bert]
... We should be able to influence the reading order.
22:38:28 [Bert]
PeterL: Maybe not thinking about the same terms with the same meaning.
22:38:38 [Bert]
dbaron: Can you give what you think it means?
22:39:04 [Bert]
SandyShelly: Concern is , let';take an example:
22:39:09 [Bert]
... flexbox
22:39:24 [Bert]
... taborder still follows source order, but screen order is different.

22:39:32 [Bert]
... Several places in CSS do that.
22:39:42 [Bert]
... ARIA and script can help.
22:39:53 [Bert]
... But is at differnet lvel, in HTML.
22:40:11 [Bert]
dbaron: Authors who want to use different orders for some reasons,
22:40:14 [myakura]
s/SandyShelly/Cynthia Shelly/
22:40:22 [Bert]
... do that intentionally.
22:40:38 [Bert]
Cynthia: that breaks it for sighted users.
22:41:09 [Bert]
Tab: reflow is very useful for repairing source order.
22:41:19 [Bert]
cynthia: Yes, good use cases, but
22:41:40 [Bert]
... some use cases not thought through, especially sighted keyboard users.
22:41:50 [Bert]
... (who can't use a mouse)
22:41:59 [Bert]
Alex: Semantic order and visual order.
22:42:28 [Bert]
... If we believe the semantic order is the right order, then follow that, otherwise follow th visual order.
22:42:49 [Bert]

22:49:17 [Bert]
fantasai: there is no good answer to that.
22:49:29 [Bert]
MichaelC: So we prioritize our own time on the reviews.
22:49:41 [Bert]
fantasai: specs that head to LC vs other specs.

MichaelC: User style sheets:
22:51:21 [Bert]
... User can override author, but
22:51:32 [Bert]
... if author uses an inaccessible design,
22:51:43 [Bert]
... it is not so feasible to override it.
22:51:59 [Bert]
janina: is there some way to make those overrides more accessible.
22:52:04 [Bert]
... be more pro-active.
22:52:15 [Bert]
Tab: I expect W3C cannot do much.
22:52:24 [Bert]
... isa UA issue.
22:52:42 [Bert]
... Browsers should do it better. Not standardization issue.
22:53:00 [Bert]
MichaelC: style sheets keyed off of class etc. So difficult to override.
22:53:09 [Bert]

22:55:35 [Bert]
... user must be able to stop any movement.
22:55:46 [Bert]
... We didn't see that in marquee or animation.
22:56:00 [Bert]
... Or need a script interface for that.
22:56:11 [Bert]
Tab: For animations, that can be done.
22:56:24 [Bert]
... You can set the marquee property to off, too.
22:56:33 [fantasai]
turning off can be done easily, not pausing
22:56:41 [Bert]
... Dean JAckson is working n animations and starting stopping them.
22:56:46 [Bert]
... Seems to be addressed.
22:56:53 [Bert]
dbaron: What do you want exactly?
22:57:08 [Bert]
MichaelC: Give users their own choices.
22:57:26 [Bert]
... Preventing aimations fromn starting, rather than stopping them.
22:57:36 [Bert]
... Need one of the two.
22:58:14 [Bert]
Simon: What about javascript-driven animations? No css involved there at all.
22:58:50 [Bert]
dbaron: Do you want a script interface to [missed]
22:59:41 [Bert]

22:59:57 [Bert]
arron: Nedd to stop/start, or also speed?
23:00:16 [sylvaing]
dbaron asked whether we wanted a script interface to stop animations or whether we wanted a script interface to detect whether the user disabled animations ?
23:00:20 [Bert]
MichaelC: No guideline for controlling speed, though it would be useful.

23:00:43 [Bert]
Simon: Browser doesn't know that javascripot is doing an animation.
23:00:54 [Bert]

23:06:31 [Bert]
cynthia: and please a summary of what nav-index is for.
23:07:09 [Bert]
tantek: Author may rearrange spatially the elements and therefore needs to change the navigation from the browser default.
23:07:22 [Bert]
... Author can change nav-index along with layout.
23:07:32 [Bert]
... Both in same style sheet.
23:07:43 [Bert]

23:09:14 [Bert]
cynthia: tab orde rin kwyboard interface. And how about flexbox?
23:09:30 [Bert]
Tantek: I need not be a tab key, it is abstract.
23:09:49 [Bert]
... CSS would override th mark-up, the same way as it overrides the layout.
23:10:01 [Bert]
Tab: tabindex would be expressed in terms of CSS.
23:10:15 [Bert]
Tantek: The HTML attribute tabindex would be liek the default.
23:10:26 [Bert]
... Would have a UA default style that uses that.
23:10:38 [Bert]
... I know Opera has implemented nav-index, nav-*
23:10:44 [Bert]

... Not sure this is like z-index.
23:11:48 [Bert]
... But need to think about it.
23:12:01 [Bert]
Tantek: nav-index and tabindex have the same problems.
23:12:17 [Bert]
... Putting it in CSS keeps the layout and order in sync.
23:12:22 [Bert]
... But may be able to do better.

MichaelC: Can elements in the middle of animations while users interact with them?
23:14:51 [Bert]
Tab: yes, they can.
23:15:00 [Bert]
... But you can control focus.
23:15:12 [Bert]
... Can stop and resume.
23:15:19 [dbaron_]
Tab: You could pause animations while matching :focus or :hover
23:15:33 [Bert]
Cynthia: Were would the focus be? Say in the middle of a swipe.
23:15:57 [Bert]
dbaron: In general, animations don't add anything that Javascript soesn't do already, just more declarative.
23:16:11 [Bert]
... No new conceptual problems, but declarative gives more control.

23:22:39 [Bert]
... In some environments layout may be awkward. MQ can obviously help. But are there aother ways to address that?
23:22:52 [Bert]
... MQ is sort of a sledgehammer approach, not all authors will do that.
23:23:14 [Bert]
... Say a table that automatically adjust narrow width, handle overflow.
23:23:26 [Bert]
... Could be several kinds of effects.
23:23:35 [Bert]
Markus: We recommend MQ currently.
23:23:49 [Bert]
fantasai: Multicol handles it automatically.
23:23:56 [Bert]
... flexbox can wrap.
23:24:19 [Bert]
... There are some moduels that address it, others that don't and that is a concern of mine as well.
23:24:47 [Bert]
dbaron: We want layout systenms with some flexibility. But we don't know how to build perfectly flexible systems.
23:25:01 [Bert]
... MQ offers authors the choice.
23:25:12 [Bert]
Markus: Some specs, by theri nature,
23:25:23 [Bert]
... need MQ as the way out.
23:25:41 [Bert]
Tab: Some layout can handle it automatically, for others it is MQ.
23:26:18 [Bert]
fantasai: Should first try automatical. For more extreme cases, or for more optimized mathods, go to MQ.
23:26:39 [Bert]
James: Maybe some author examples.
23:26:55 [Bert]
... Font-size can be large, can influence column size.
23:27:01 [Bert]
... Use rem e.g.,
23:27:08 [Bert]
... Things an author should consider.
23:27:22 [Bert]
fantasai: Excellent point, We should adopt the examples.
23:27:34 [Bert]
... And also build in flexibility as much as we can.
23:27:46 [Bert]

james: exposing CSS tables as a table api
23:30:29 [Bert]
dbaron: people who use tables for layout, in a grid-like table, should have a mark-up that is *not* a table.
23:30:39 [fantasai]
fantasai^: yeah, that is totally wrong (referring to james)
23:30:59 [Bert]
Steve: Firefox exposed CSS tables as table API.
23:31:24 [Bert]
... Was some feedback from IT vendors that it should be like that.
23:31:55 [fantasai]
dbaron: Gecko's accessibility api operates off the rendering tree instead of the content tree, which I've always considered to be a major design flaw.
23:31:59 [Bert]
dbaron: I think Gecko's design is wrong to use rendering tree for accessibility api. But that is the ay it has always been.
23:32:41 [Bert]
Steve: If it s a CSS table, it appears as a tabel in the API, but it should expose that it si a layout table to the user.
23:33:01 [Bert]

dbaron: MQ happens before style sheet, so the em is always the users' default font size.

... So it is easy to query the user's font size.
23:39:57 [Bert]

00:43:45 [fantasai]

TabAtkins: bar won't be invalid except at the point where it's used.
00:45:18 [fantasai]
plinss ask about resolution
00:45:19 [dbaron]
fantasai, it shouldn't compute to initial, since an invalid data property needs to make the property using it (which may not use it as a *whole*) get its initial value
00:46:11 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: The data variables are treated as a stream of tokens, except for data substitution, until they're used
00:46:26 [fantasai]
dbaron, that resolves itself
00:46:40 [fantasai]
dbaron, it'll either be the entire value of the property, in which case that property gets initial
00:46:53 [fantasai]
dbaron, or it won't be valid because it's not the entire value of the property, in which case that property gets initial

00:50:16 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: You will usually not run into this problem, because ...
00:50:31 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: You cannot resolve the data type of a data property at parse time
00:50:44 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: There are places where a particular token can masquerade as idfferent things depending on the context it's used
00:51:10 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: If you use 'red' in color, it becomes a color. If you use it in list-style, it's treated as a counter name
00:51:44 [fantasai]

You parse it into a token stream

and handle any tokens that are the "data(" function
00:52:34 [dbaron]
and then save the token stream
00:52:38 [dbaron]
IMO, anyway
00:52:59 [fantasai]
jdaggett: What dbaron said makes sense. What Tab says makes no sense...
00:53:39 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: you can also optimize by storing the parsed (not just tokenized) version for reuse in the same context
00:53:45 [fantasai]
fantasai: That's an additional optmiziation
00:54:28 [fantasai]
Rosen: What if I have data-foo: inherit?
00:54:32 [Bert]
(So this requires that calc() is defined in Values and Units so that calc() can be used inside calc().)
00:54:36 [fantasai]
arronei: in this case it would be invalid
00:54:40 [plinss]

Rossen: More natural way to me would be to have it on your parent.
00:55:05 [fantasai]
Rossen: similar wya to look at it is as inherit
00:55:17 [fantasai]
jdaggett: Flip side is you can never make a variable carry 'inherit'
00:55:22 [fantasai]
jdaggett: The keyword has special meaning
00:56:05 [fantasai]
Florian: I'd like to point out that this is the first time everyone in the room is arguing over details of a variables proposal and not everyone is arguing against having it
00:56:34 [fantasai]
TabAtkins explains the transformation from 'data-foo' to 'foo' inside data()
00:56:51 [fantasai]
discussion about property/value syntax
00:57:12 [fantasai]
plinss: I strongly feel they should be consistent on both sides, not different when defining vs referencing
00:57:22 [fantasai]
jdaggett: It looks too much like a property. Should look different.
00:57:39 [fantasai]
plinss: Prefer parentheses approacl
00:57:47 [fantasai]
data(foo): red;
00:57:51 [shans]
peter's proposed syntax is to do something like one { data(foo): 10px; }
00:57:59 [shans]
two { data(bar): calc(data(foo) + 10px); }
00:58:08 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Either way, I'm cool with having discussions about syntax of it later, as long as we're cool on the processing model.
00:58:21 [fantasai]
howcome: Can this mechanism be abused for prefixed properties?
00:58:34 [fantasai]
fantasai: I think this would be difficult
00:58:48 [fantasai]
howcome: what if ua's did special things with certain variable names?
00:58:53 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: That would violate the spec
00:59:03 [fantasai]
plinss: Make sure you explicitly forbid it
00:59:13 [tantek]

00:59:19 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: I defined explicitly that these are non-special, can wordsmith later if necessary

plinss: Just about out of time.

00:59:31 [fantasai]
plinss: I like the fact that this model fits the CSS way of doing things
00:59:39 [fantasai]
plinss: And not creating another weird variables model
00:59:46 [fantasai]
plinss: I think this is going to be harder to explain to people
00:59:56 [fantasai]
plinss: People don't really understand the cascade
01:00:24 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Most of my example are setting variables on the root, and I plan to add notes "just set it on root, don't think about it anymore"
01:00:31 [fantasai]
plinss: And don't set it on *
01:01:35 [fantasai]
fantasai: I remember getting a proposal for a variables-type thing that, very similar to this, used cascading/inheritance.
01:01:47 [fantasai]
fantasai: Person was very clear that s/he wanted inheritance behavior of the variables.
01:02:05 [fantasai]
alexmog: How do you undefine a variable?
01:02:22 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Could set it to 'initial'
01:02:32 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Alternatively, set it to itself. That'll create an immediate cycle.
01:02:47 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: Can I publish this?
01:03:02 [fantasai]
plinss: Think there should be other people to decide for FPWD, but editor's draft should be ok.
01:03:26 [fantasai]
Markus: It's on dev.w3.org, it's already an editor's draft.
01:03:45 [fantasai]
TabAtkins: But now I can talk about it, that the CSSWG has an editor's variables draft
01:03:56 [dbaron]
[Daniel and I are debating another variables issue in the back of the AC meeting room, on the assumption that you were going to end 4 minutes ago]
01:04:13 [fantasai]
howcome asks for confirmation that this is *the* variables draft
01:04:15 [fantasai]
Yes
01:04:21 [fantasai]
plinss: FXTF on Thursday
01:04:40 [fantasai]

random question...anyone know the history behind percentage sizes in standards mode? specifically, in quirks mode, to resolve a percentage, you walk up the tree until you hit the first non-auto, non-percentage valu (roughly)...for standards mode, if you hit an auto value you bail.
23:32:34 [ojan]
this behavior seems totally wrong to me and i'm wondering how the decision got made, so i can propose a fix for the future
23:32:41 [ojan]
dbaron: ^^^ maybe you know?
23:33:00 [dbaron]
which behavior seems wrong?
23:33:12 [dbaron]
quirks or standards?
23:33:16 [ojan]
dbaron: standards
23:33:37 [ojan]
dbaron: right or wrong is irrelevant...it's clearly not what people want/expect
23:33:49 [dbaron]
yeah
23:33:49 [dbaron]
it's what the spec says, and I suppose we've never argued
23:33:53 [dbaron]
yeah
23:34:00 [dbaron]
it mgiht be a compat problem now, though
23:34:09 [ojan]
dbaron: oh yeah...no way we can change it
23:34:26 [ojan]
dbaron: but, if there wasn't a good reason for it, we could always add a new unit
23:35:02 [ojan]
dbaron: the way you get the behavior you want these days is to have to put height 100% on every ancestor including the html element
23:35:08 [ojan]
dbaron: == the suck
23:35:28 [ojan]
dbaron: web dev after web dev is confused by this and it sucks to have to litter your tree with height values
23:35:53 [ojan]
dbaron: hwen you change your structure a little, you have to remember to put height 100% on any new elements you add

ojan - what's the use case you're trying to address?
00:04:40 [ojan]
tantek: making an element fill one of it's ancestors...which is very common...e.g.
00:04:53 [tantek]
ojan - doesn't flexbox solve that?
00:04:58 [ojan]
tantek: making a UI that fills the whole viewport, making a dialog whose contents fill the dialog
00:04:59 [tantek]
cc: TabAtkins
00:05:13 [ojan]
tantek: but the flexbox itself needs to fill it's container
00:06:35 [tantek]
ojan, hmm, maybe position:absolute;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;height:auto;width:auto ?
00:07:02 [ojan]
tantek: yes, that works, but it's not at all intuitive and very few people learn to do it
00:07:13 [tantek]
yeah, it's copy-pasteo
00:07:47 [tantek]
but that should avoid the "you have to set height explicitly all the way down" thing right?
00:07:58 [hober]
hober has joined #css
00:08:54 [ojan]
tantek: that also doesn't let you do non 100% sizes...whcih i realize i didn't list as a use-case just now...but is totally valid
00:09:05 [ojan]
tantek: e.g. if you want a split-pane view
00:09:36 [tantek]
left:0;right:50%; … left:50%;right:0
00:09:44 [ojan]
tantek: how do you resolve the 50%?
00:09:53 [ojan]
oh
00:09:54 [ojan]
wait
00:09:58 [ojan]
i'm confused
00:10:12 [ojan]
yeah...how do you resolve right:50%?
00:10:13 [tantek]
positions are inset from the respective edges
00:10:19 [ojan]
isn't that the same problem?
00:10:25 [ojan]
50% of what?
00:10:26 [tantek]
no it works like you want it
00:10:43 [tantek]
(AFAIK)
00:13:17 [ojan]
wth...i can't believe percentage for width/height is resolved totally differently from left/right
00:13:31 [ojan]
i mean...i just tested it in webkit and it worked
00:13:33 [ojan]
but wth
00:13:37 [ojan]
that's even more broken
00:14:16 [ojan]
works in gecko too
00:14:19 [ojan]
sigh
00:15:01 [tantek]
ahem
00:15:26 [tantek]
ojan, it's not totally broken
00:15:38 [tantek]
it's exactly what happens when we pursue a strategy like you were suggesting
00:15:41 [tantek]
to fix the situation
00:15:53 [tantek]
the latter technology "does the right thing"
00:16:02 [tantek]
improving on the legacy standards compat
00:16:14 [ojan]
oh i see...percentages work with position: absolute actually
00:16:24 [ojan]
so height: 50% works fine if it's position:absolute
