WebKit hits 98/100 on Acid3
Posted by Eric Seidel on Wednesday, March 26th, 2008 at 10:16 amWe fixed our XML processing in r31316 to stop auto-recovering from invalid byte sequences and instead treat invalid bytes as fatal errors, as required by XML 1.0. To quote the spec:
It is a fatal error if an XML entity is determined (via default, encoding declaration, or higher-level protocol) to be in a certain encoding but contains byte sequences that are not legal in that encoding
Internet Explorer also has this strictness requirement (for XML loaded via XMLHttpRequest), thus we believe this added strictness should not cause any real-world compatibility problems. (IE’s behavior can be confirmed by Hixie’s test.)
Once again, enjoy the pretty picture:
or you can grab the latest nightly and try Acid3 yourself!

98/100 is passing, but one or two tests are taking too long.
Test 00 passed, but took 31ms
Test 26 passed, but took 91ms

@dipser: Please see Maciej’s previous comment about the timing messages.

Both are known issues: http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17871 and http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17510

and please focus also on these bugs - http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18026 and http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18027 (without :hover this CSS works just fine)

@ Roberto.
I have doubts that their internal builds will make for a 100/100 pass when released to the public for their various platforms. Public betas of Opera only pass 77/100 right now. WebKit looks like it will have an easier time of creating a stable release while passing all 100 tests.

build 31323 just fixed the glyph issue in the upper right hand corner. It’s still at 98/100 but at least the image looks complete. Though, there is an issue with the border thickness, and possibly spacing, between coloured blocks that is preventing the rendered image from being pixel for pixel perfect.

I’m getting some intermittent failures with the latest Windows nightly that knock the score down to 96. And the Opera folks are just claimed a 100% score on Acid3.
March 26th, 2008 at 11:54 am
Opera is claiming 100, but with glitches that prevent them from declaring full pass (as does WebKit). Looks like WebKit just hit 99/100 (no new build available for it yet). FF3 is 68 it seems. With IE’s new rendering engine mode switch deal, why don’t they just adopt WebKit?

@Mark Rowe: I see.
Forgot to say: “Great work, so far.”

Thinine: http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2008/03/26/opera-and-the-acid3-test
So, so close. But don’t stop now .. see if you can beat the IE team to it (j/k)

I was toying around with webkit and acid3 and I can’t really figure out what kind of error causes the top right border corner to draw incorrectly. There’s a background image which is almost shifted out of view, but the border is still overdrawn. Can anyone explain?
Oh, and good work guys!

lop3u2: “There are some remaining issues yet to be fixed, but we hope to have those sorted out shortly.
We will release a technical preview version on labs.opera.com within the next week or so.”
It sounds that they have some work to do.
March 26th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
xfinite: that was just fixed. Check out the latest build.
March 26th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
xfinite: Take a look at a bug: http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17086
Dave Hyatt, fixed the problem in http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/31322 So the latest Webkit r31326 has no problem with it, but only on Leopard.
March 26th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
And Windows of cause.
March 26th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
The only thing better than this would be if IE8 was in the competition.
March 26th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
about opera passing the test I would say hold on a second and lets think about it. Not that I don’t believe the opera team but they say on their blog they will be releasing a PUBLIC version of the passing build in the next week or so… The webkit team will probably have the first public build to pass the test and safari will more than likely be the first official commercial release to pass it so my money is still with the webkit team.
March 26th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Congratulations guys
Also, this is on slashdot already: http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/03/26/1938251
Opera are claiming a 100/100, but as I commented on /. the highest I see when browsing to http://acid3.acidtests.org/ is 98/100 using Safari.
March 26th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
I think that WebKit can be first public, but not official release, and Opra 9.5 have chances to be first official released browser
We’ll see…
Acid3 or not, but WebKit has better CSS3 support
March 26th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
My not so secret browser whih uses WebKit will be officially released as Browser v1.0 as soon as Webkit passes acid 3. It will be the first stable browser passing Acid 3 :D: D
