Documentation on specific a-scene element attributes - augmented-reality

how do I find out what the optimal attributes on the <a-scene> tag should be? seen a few different values for 'renderer' and 'ar-js' attribute, such as trackingMethod etc but I'm having trouble locating the best document to learn about what they all do? can anyone point me to the right page?

In Appium 1.0+, now that finding elements by tag is deprecated, how do I find an element by tag name when operating on the DOM of the webview?

Once I switch my context to the DOM of the webview, I want to be able to search those elements by tag, but I get the error that searching by tag is deprecated and to search by class instead. This won't work to find DOM elements by tag. Is there still a way to do it? Thanks!
As per Appium documentation for migrating to 1.0:
We've removed the following locator strategies:
-name
-tag name
... tag name has been replaced by class name. So to find an element by its
UI type, use the class name locator strategy for your client.
Why searching by tag name?
Although Selenium still supports this type of query, Appium decided not to do anymore. Actually when interacting with the device, searching by tag name is very inefficient.
Why would you want to do that? Think about it, if your page has a bit of content, you will end up having many p, div, span tags. Your search will return many elements and then you will have to go thorugh the list and locate the one you are interested in. If your page is very little, then you will probably end up with one tag of the type you are looking for, however why not applying a class and solve the problem?
Classes are not for CSS style
Remember that HTML attribute class was not introduced by W3C for applying CSS style. It is used to provide an element with more informationa bout its purpose in the DOM. When you apply a class to an element, you should do that basing on the role that element holds! Thus locating an element by class is sure better.
So forget searching by tag name. You should change your strategy and apply class names to your tags in your hybrid app. If you do not want to do so, then do not switch to the new version of Appium but this will keep you far from future innovations!
Migrating from a tagname based element location to a class name
orientd one is good practice. That's why you should change too.
maybe this can help
element.getAttribute("class")

mutiple tags, how to find object with the exact tags specfied?

I have implemented a tagging system, but I want to be able to exclude all objects that do not only have the tags specified
For example I have a tag Archer, and an object with the tags Archer, Human, so when I search for Archer, the object shouldnt appear, unless I search for both Archer and Human
Any advice?
Alright, I managed to solve it by using intersection

Reference ActiveRecord attributes in textarea

I am building a simple invoice application, and I would like to allow the users to customize the text on the invoice. In addition to this, they should be able to reference specific attributes in my models, i.e. "This is a test {{Model.attribute}}", and once the text is parsed the tag is replaced with the value of that attribute.
I have looked a bit at redcloth, textile and handlebars, but it does look like a little bit overkill to be honest. For instance I would not like to allow the users to input any HTML.
I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. There is probably a gem for this that I just havent found yet.
Thanks in advance
I use liquid with simpleformat which will sanitise the text.

How to customise naming of symfony 1.4 form elements

I know this is possible but I can't seem to find the right search string to get the answer online.
I have MyForm()
and I want to create 5 of these rendered within the same form so I want to change the naming structure of the form elements thus:
name="forms[1][fieldname1]"
name="forms[1][fieldname2]"
name="forms[2][fieldname1]"
name="forms[2][fieldname2]"
etc
so that when it is submitted I can just iterate through the $_POST['forms'] array, binding each one to a MyForm instance and validating.
I'm sure you can customise he naming of fields for symfony forms in some global way rather than going through each widget but I just can't find it on the web.
Anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
Solved own problem :
$this->widgetSchema->setNameFormat('my_form[][%s]');

Making tagsoup markup cleansing optional

Tagsoup is interfering with input and formatting it incorrectly. For instance when we have the following markup
Text outside anchor
It is formatted as follows
Text outside anchor
This is a simple example but we have other issues as well. So we made tagsoup cleanup/formatting optional by adding an extra attribute to textarea control.
Here is the diff(https://github.com/binnyg/orbeon-forms/commit/044c29e32ce36e5b391abfc782ee44f0354bddd3).
Textarea would now look like this
<textarea skip-cleanmarkup="true" mediatype="text/html" />
Two questions
Is this the right approach?
If I provide a patch can it make it to orbeon codebase?
Thanks

I think there are two questions here:
The first Concern is a question of Tag Soup and the clean up that happens OOTB: Empty tags are converted to singleton tags which when consumed/sent to the client browser as markup gets "fixed" by browsers like firefox but because of the loss of precision they do the wrong thing.
Turning off this clean up helps in this case but for this issue alone is not really the right answer because we it takes away a security feature and a well-formed markup feature... so there may need to be some adjustment to the handling of at least certain empty tags (other than turning them in to invalid singleton tags.)
All this brings us to the second concern which is do we always want those features in play? Our use-case says no. We want the user to be able to spit out whatever markup they want, invalid or not. We're not putting the form in an app that needs to protect the user from cross script coding, we're building a tool that lets users edit web pages -- hence we have turned off the clean-up.
But turning off cleanup wholesale? Well it's important that we can do it if that's what our usecase calls for but the implementation we have is all or nothing. It would be nice to be able to define strategies for cleanup. Make that function plug-able. For example:
* In the XML Config of the system define a "map" of config names to class names which implement the a given strategy. In the XForm Def the author would specify the name from the map.
If TagSoup transforms:
Text outside anchor
Into:
Text outside anchor
Wouldn't that be bug in TagSoup? If that was the case, then I'd say that it is better to fix this issue rather than disable TagSoup. But, it isn't a bug in TagSoup; here is what seems to be happening. Say the browsers sends the following to the client:
<a shape="rect"></a>After<br clear="none">
This goes through TagSoup, the result goes through the XSLT clean-up code, and the following is sent to the browser:
<a shape="rect"/>After<br clear="none"/>
The issue is on the browser, which transforms this into:
<a shape="rect">After</a><br clear="none"/>
The problem is that we serialize this as XML with Dom4jUtils.domToString(cleanedDocument), while it would be more prudent to serialize it as HTML. Here we could use the Saxon serializer. It is also used from HTMLSerializer. Maybe you can try changing this code to use it instead of using Dom4jUtils.domToString(). You'll let us know what you find when a get a chance to do that.
Binesh and I agree, if there is a bug it would be a good idea to address the issue closer to the root. But I think the specific issue he is only part of the matter.
We're thinking it would be best to have some kind of name-to-strategy mapping so that RTEs can call in the server-side processing that is right for them or the default if it's not specified.
