    How do I implement Flexbox for Safari on iOS 17.1.2?

    I have an iPhone running iOS 17.1.2. I have a Web app that uses CSS3 Flexbox. I seem to be having trouble getting the Flexbox to render on iOS Safari/Webkit. The Flexbox stuff works on Google Chrome (on desktop) even with Google Chrome simulating an iPhone layout, so I'm thinking this issue is...

    Helpful Terminal Command

    I bet most of you knew this but if you didn't, typing this turns off indexing: sudo mdutil -i off /Volumes/drivename (replace drivename with your hard drive name, or drag hard drive icon to Terminal) It can be really helpful if your PPC machine is lagging after installing a new OS, or after...

    What do we need to build a modern WebKit-based browser?

    TFF is no more, and anyway FF is grumpy. How about building a modern Webkit-based browser? To be honest, I do not yet conceive the difficulty involved. However, as a first step, I did fix building all essential dependencies for WebKit2-gtk for PowerPC, including the latest versions of gstreamer1...

    Safari not computing image aspect ratios from width and height attributes

    Instant, low-overhead text editor in your browser

    Perhaps this is old knowledge for some of you, but it is new to me. I figure I could pass it along to everyone here. By entering the following string in the URL bar of whatever browser you use, you can render the tab/window as a basic, barebones text editor: data:text/html,<html...

    For 16 weeks I have been going round and round with Apple and Facebook over a AV webkit crashing bug that only happens with Facebook feed updates. I have spent many hours with Apple trying to understand the bug. Facebook refuses to do anything even after being sent 40 logs! From a friend who...

    While testing some things, I accidentally lost the WebKit.framework file from my Power Mac G5 (I know, I should've backed up/should've been more careful. Sorry). I've tried the file from the 10.5.8 Combo update, and all of my WebKit applications (like Mail) crash on startup. I assume the version...
