Anyone who pays attention to the netscape.public.mozilla.layout newsgroup will know that David Baron is working on a new way of doing reflow in Mozilla. It aims for (to quote him)
- simplification of code
- fixing incremental reflow (”{inc}”) bugs
- allowing better integration of nsIBox and nsIFrame layout
- allowing easier implementation of new features like ‘inline-block’
It’s nowhere near done (”nowhere near compiling” in his words), but this will be nice to have!
Looks cool. I guess this will also make implementing the new CSS3 selectors a lot easier.
inline-block would be nice to have in Mozilla. I’d love to have it for the asp.net GUI designer I’m curretly working on.
