Do you people know how to implement Web Slice in Android ? Ny ideas ?

Perhaps you can develop an Android App which works standalone (not with the browser). This app can fetch and parse the web page at a URL(s) – as entered by a user – for Web Slice tags. Subsequently it can store the encompassed content. Once the URL and Web Slice is identified, the app can keep updating the Web Slice as per user defined or Web Slice defined frequency.

or is it there already implemented ?

None that I know of. I believe there is no app or browser support for Android yet

There is a “PageSlices addon for Firefox” that allows to create web slices just with one click. Also you can store multiple web slices on one user page.

I have been through PageSlices for a client’s requirement, but never thought of updating this old Blog post with this info. But thanks for this comment. I consider this post updated now Thanks again.

Are you considering writing a WordPress plugin for the easy creation of the slices?

not sure if a plugin can be written for it. web slices require change in the markup. hence a wordpress theme which is web slice enabled is a better bet

but do u like the concept of web slices ? how is it better, if at all, from RSS?

Tried the webchunks FF3 plugin, works with ebay and stumbleupon but did not work with your site?

these different browsers

Different browsers ? You have mentioned only IE. Hmm, so IE and its different versions are different browsers for you ?

Serious stuff follows:

To be honest, it is sort of a pain to look and feel all nice and smooth to users of these different browsers

I agree. the pain seems to be never ending.

Was kinda happy to see, Google adopting Webkit instead of some homegrown GoogleWebKit. Can we assume that Safari and Chrome will render websites the same way ? Will changes contributed by Google to Webkit be acceptable to Apple and vice versa ? Pheww.

Whatever may be the claim of each browser, each time, with every version, to be the most standard compliant, Bineshs and Shekhars keep suffering.

The only way out is if the browsers do simply what they do the best – bookmarks, remember password, history etc. and leave the rendering to a engine developed by, say, W3C. The vision (only mine) is, all browsers use the same rendering engine. Will they (Microsoft, Mozilla, Chrome, Safari, Opera etc.) “dare” to do something like this ? Not to forget the mobile space where, yet again, you have Pocket IE, Minimo, Opera, Symbian web browser and what not. The day you have achieved the nirvana of looking good on desktop browsers, the next hour you hear that you don’t look good on someone’s mobile phone. To sum up – all the very best of LUCK – to you and me

Off topic: The website that I manage ( http://www.dare.co.in ) is dominated by IE6 vistors, followed by IE7, who make up for more than half of the visitors trending.

To be honest, it is sort of a pain to look and feel all nice and smooth to users of these different browsers :-S
