Usability
Planning
- Write the MarkupValidator/Roadmap, and with every item how people can help
New Features
- provide a "try your valid content with the ..... MIME-type"-link (so basically providing a sort of proxy, cause webservers sometimes serve content with wrong MIME-type, SVG content being an example)
- Here's some PHP-code that serves valid SVG with the image/svg+xml MIME-type, otherwise giving the validator result:
<?php if ($url!=""){ $error=1; $reportURL="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=".urlencode($url); $feedback=file_get_contents($reportURL); $valid_svg='2 class="valid">This Page Is Valid SVG 1.1!</'; if (substr_count($feedback,$valid_svg)==1){ if (substr_count($feedback,"Warning")==0){ if (substr_count($feedback,"Error")==0){ header("Content-type: image/svg+xml"); echo(file_get_contents($url)); $error=0; } } } if ($error!=0) header("Location: $reportURL"); /* When the non-perfect W3C-validator doesn't like it: "no SVG for you!" */ }else{ header("Content-type: text/html"); echo(' <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>SVG MIME proxy</title> <style type="text/css"> body{ text-align:center; } </style> </head> <body> <h3>your URL?</h3> <form method="GET" action=""> <input type="text" name="url" value="http://" size="50"><br> <input type="submit" value="go serve this as image/svg+xml"> </form> </body> </html> '); } ?>
which is running at http://svgopen.steltenpower.com/2004/svgproxy.php, also callable through bookmarklet: javascript:location.href=("http://svgopen.steltenpower.com/2004/svgproxy.php?url="+escape(location.href));
- provide a "make the URL end with .svg to force IE to recognize it as such"-link
- PHP-code
<?php if ($url!=""){ $len=strlen($url); if (substr($url,($len-4))!=".svg"){ if (substr_count($url,"?")>0) $url.="&"; else $url.="?"; $url.="IEloves=.svg"; } $proxyURL="http://svgopen.steltenpower.com/2004/svgproxy.php?url=".urlencode($url); header("Location: $proxyURL"); }else{ header("Content-type: text/html"); echo(' <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>SVG in IE</title> <style type="text/css"> body{ text-align:center; } </style> </head> <body> <h3>your URL?</h3> <form method="GET" action=""> <input type="text" name="url" value="http://" size="50"><br> <br> <input type="submit" value="go make IE recognize this as SVG"> </form> </body> </html> '); } ?>
which is running at http://svgopen.steltenpower.com/2004/SVGinIE.php, also callable through bookmarklet: javascript:location.href=("http://svgopen.steltenpower.com/2004/SVGinIE.php?url="+escape(location.href));
- provide a "try your valid SVG content in a webstarted Squiggle"-link in case of SVG content
- A webstarted Squiggle is now available at [1], also callable through bookmarklet:
javascript:location.href=("http://arc.mcc.id.au/batik-nightly/webstart/squiggle.pl?uri="+escape(location.href));
- A webstarted Squiggle is now available at [1], also callable through bookmarklet:
- provide a "try your valid SVG content as PNG, PDF, etc"-link in case of SVG content
- similar to http://www.ionicsoft.com/demo/svg.jsp
