Description Marc Mutz 2001-10-19 11:46:00 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           khtml
Version:           4.0 (using KDE 2.9.0 1 (CVS >= 20011012))
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Linux-Mandrake 8.0 2.96-0.44mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.2-15mdk
OS/Compiler notes: 

khtml doesn't render <object> correctly. <object> is a "replaceable" and should be rendered at the intrinsic size of the object it contains just like <img> is. But compare the rendering of the following html file:

---BEGIN---
<html><body><p>
<img src="http://bugs.kde.org/wizard/images/konqi.gif" />
</p><p>
<object data="http://bugs.kde.org/wizard/images/konqi.gif" type="image/gif"></object>
</p></body></html>
---END---

Both elements should be rendered roughly equally. But the second is actually rendered icon-sized.

Equally using <object width=100% type="text/html"> should render the referenced html file at the width of the object element and make the object element as long as it needs to be to show the full content.

Version:           4.0 (using KDE 3.0.1 )
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-4GB
OS/Compiler notes: 

This has not been fixed although it exists quite a while. That's a shame because the <object> tag has a lot of potential.

You can for example include ogg files in webpages as here:
http://www.fenk.wau.nl/~oever/veenendaal/test.html

Unfortunately although the file on mentioned page begins playing the object is too small so not all buttons are visible.

Of course this is also a bit of a bug of the control but it does demonstrate that object sizing needs more attention.

Seems to work now, at least for the images?

Comment 9 Pieter Botha 2005-09-25 23:31:00 UTC

images look 100% good in 3.4.2 SUSE latest kde updates (22-09-2005). Mark as 
resolved?

Images are only part of the problem:

Does this work, too?

Comment 11 Germain Garand 2005-10-03 21:12:22 UTC

works fine
