• Status: CLOSED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: CSS

[Guido Grassel]

Hi,

This is Guido of NRC. I demo'ed the S60 browser to Bert Boss , the chair of the W3C CSS WG yesterday. 
Unfortunately, he found 2 bugs on pretty much the first page he went to (using Roland Geisler's E61):

Page
http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/

1) The statically positioned golden menu on the right side of this menu is positioned completely wrong. It appears far down the page on PageView only, instead of  the upper right corner.

2) CSS media handheld is not recognized. Instead the S60 browser uses the media screen style sheet.

NOTE: I do not know the build version, ignore the information above.

1) This is a result of canvas expansion we do to prevent pages from getting too narrow. If you try http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/ on a desktop browser and make the window very narrow you will see what I mean. Essentially the right side toolbar gets positioned outside the screen (you see it in the page view). Perhaps we need to turn off the canvas expansion in case there are fixed positioned elements on the page.

2) We don't support @media handheld because
- It is mutually exclusive with @media screen, so any page that uses @media screen (for example to differentiate between print) would have problems. The mechanism seems poorly thought out as it does not provide fallbacks and assumes strict division between "handheld" and "screen" devices.
- The existing @media handheld content is generally targeted to very low-end devices and I think in most cases @media screen content gives better user experience with the devices we are targeting. 

BRW, in future please report only one issue per bug.

The behavior is same on Firefox and Safari.

S60 webkit does not dislay the golder menu at all in the emulator.

Issue 1) is S60 Webkit only issue. Status updated to NEW.

Issue 2) is currently not supported. If supported, a new/seperate error report will be created for this. Please comment on this.
