Webcompat issues

(a selection of some of the bugs worked on this week).

• [Apple trailers] has finally been fixed. Yoohoo.
• There is an issue with Google drop-down buttons and outline. Firefox is the only one which extends the outline to all descendant children. Fix or not fix. Left to implementations in a specification means in fact copy the behavior of the dominant market share browser.
• Giant box-shadow are not good for performances.
• I'm always on a fence with these answers. Not a priority. Clearly understandable if you think about it on the side of the product owner. Clearly infuriating if you think about it on the side of the user. Life.
• HSTS and redirection on Amazon
• Scrolling or zooming
• $('body').scrollTop(0) vs window.scrollTo(0,0)
• Why would you put a button inside … a button through JavaScript.
• The legend of the border. An interesting story to hack on.

WebCompat.com dev

• I'm wondering if we are not missing a step once we have contacted a Web site.

Reading List

• Async and Await
• Must see of the week: K Lars Lohn - Keynote - PyCon 2016. Stop everything you do. This is a good talk. A very good talk.
• EcmaScript errors are in the process of being documented on MDN to be able to link them from the devtool console.

Follow Your Nose

• Document how to write tests on webcompat.com using test fixtures.
• ToWrite: Amazon prefetching resources with <object> for Firefox only.

Otsukare!
