Styles and Classes

The IGB supports a subset of CSS1 and CSS2. Style sheets can either be written inline (<STYLE> ... </STYLE> or loaded from an external resource ( <LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="cssfile.css"> )

General CSS Class definition:

tag { attribute1:value1; ... attributeN:valueN; }

defines the attributes for the given tag.

E.g.:

<HTML><HEAD><STYLE>
H1 {color:blue;}
</STYLE></HEAD><BODY>
<H1>H1 Headers are blue</H1>
</BODY></HTML>



Selectors:

tag
.classname
#idname
[attrname]
[attrname=”value”]
[attrname|=”value”]
[attrname~=”value”]
:psydoclass



E.g.:

.cl (class selector)
h1.head (tag selector with a class selector)
#place (id selector)
p#place (tag and id selector)
[align=”center”] (attribute selector)
img[align=”left”] (tag selector with attribute selector)
a:hover (link pseudo class)




depsel sel { attribute1:value1; ... attributeN:valueN; }

uses the given attributes if sel appears inside of depsel. The attributes are also applied if tag is surrounded by other tags.

E.g.:

<HTML><HEAD><STYLE>
H3 B {font:underline;}
</STYLE></HEAD><BODY>
<H3><b>bold underline</b> <i><b>bold underline too</b></i></H3>
</BODY></HTML>



deptag > tag { attribute1:value1; ... attributeN:valueN; }

uses the given attributes if tag appears inside of deptag and no other tag is surrounding tag

E.g.:

<HTML><HEAD><STYLE>
H3 > B {font:underline;}
</STYLE></HEAD><BODY>
<H3><b>bold underline</b> <i><b>bold not underline</b></i></H3>
</BODY></HTML>



deptag * tag { attribute1:value1; ... attributeN:valueN; }

uses the given attributes if tag appears inside of deptag and at least one other tag is surrounding tag

E.g.:

<HTML><HEAD><STYLE>
H3 * B {font:underline;}
</STYLE></HEAD><BODY>
<H3><b>bold not underline</b> <i><b>bold underline</b></i></H3>
</BODY></HTML>



deptag + tag { attribute1:value1; ... attributeN:valueN; }

uses the given attributes if tag appears directly after deptag

E.g.:

<HTML><HEAD><STYLE>
H3 + P {font:blue;}
</STYLE></HEAD><BODY>
<H3>Header</H3>
<P>The text in this paragraph will appear blue.</P>
</BODY></HTML>



Special Ingame Functions

The EVE ingame web browser has some special features that allow using of ingame services on web pages. You can get player information using the trusted site service or trigger game related functions like sending an ingame mail using game services.

Getting Pilot Information

Using dynamic web pages, the IGB allows to query Pilot information such as pilot name, corporation, and solar system the pilot is in. For security reasons this only works if the pilot has allowed the access.

All pilot information are transferred in the header section of the http request.
Currently the following variables are transferred:

Equipment config/Deploy space



A website needs to ask for a trusted site access in the http header.

Trusted sites example script in PHP:

<?
ini_alter("session.use_cookies","1");
ob_start();
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Testpage</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<?
if (!(strpos($HTTP_USER_AGENT,"EVE-minibrowser")===false))
{
if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_EVE_TRUSTED"]=="no")
{
header("eve.trustme:http://www.mywebsite.net/::please allow me to access your pilot information.");
}
else
{
?>
<b>Pilot:</b>
<? echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[“HTTP_EVE_CHARNAME”]; ?>
<b>Location:</b>
<? echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[“HTTP_EVE_REGIONNAME”]; ?>/<?
echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[“HTTP_EVE_CONSTELLATIONNAME”]; ?>/<?
echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[“HTTP_EVE_SOLARSYSTEMNAME”]; ?><BR>
<?
if ($HTTP_SERVER_VARS[“HTTP_EVE_STATIONNAME”] != "None")
{
?>
<b>Station:</b> <? echo $HTTP_SERVER_VARS[“HTTP_EVE_STATIONNAME”]; ?><br>
<?
}
}
}
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>
<?
ob_end_flush();
?>



Auto-Reloading websites

An page reload can be triggered with the HTTP header refresh. You can reload a page based on a timer or on each session-change (jumping, docking).

Timer based refresh:

refresh:time;URL=linktowebpage

Session change based refresh:

refresh:sessionchange;URL=linktowebpage



Site refresh example script:

<?
header("refresh:sessionchange;URL=mypage.php");
// header("refresh:10;URL=mypage.php");
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Test</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
...
</BODY>



Using Client Services

Some ingame functions are accessible through the ingame webbrowser. To allow this access some new tags have been introduced.

EVEMail

Opens a “New Message” window. The receiver field will contain the charname. In the extended version, you can also supply the subject and the message text.

<A HREF=”evemail:charname”> ... </A>
<A HREF=”evemailto:charname,...” SUBJECT=”subject” message=”text”> ... </A>

Show Info

Opens the “Show Info” window for the given item type. If you also add the itemID, you will get more detailed information of the item.

Note: You should not add the itemID when it is not really needed. If the item is repackaged or destroyed, you will receive an error message. It is always safe to use the typeID.

<A HREF=”showinfo:typeID”> ... </A>
<A HREF=”showinfo:typeID//itemID”> ... </A>

Examples:

<A HREF=”showinfo:1//3012978”>Agent: Tasara Athasho</A>
<A HREF=”showinfo:2//1000129”>Corp: Outer Ring Excavations</A>
<A HREF=”showinfo:5//30003277”>PF-346 solar system</A>
<A HREF="showinfo:657">Iteron Mark V</A>


EVE Map

Shows the route from your current position to the given solar system in the map.

<A HREF=”showrouteto:solarsystemID”> ... </A>

Shows the given solar systems in the map.

<A HREF=”showinmap:solarsystemID1//solarsystemID2//...//solarsystemIDn”> ... </A>

Draws a map into an image.

<IMG SRC=”starmap:ids=list of map objects&marks=list of markers” size=”size”>

list of map objects is a comma separated list of constellationIDs.

List of markers is a comma separated list of entries. Each entry has this format:

solarsystemID::text to display::-::-

Examples:

<IMG SRC=”starmap:ids=20000509&markers=30003489::You are here::-::-”>

Character Portrait

Generates an image of a character.

<IMG SRC=”portrait:characterID” SIZE=”size”>

Logos

Generates the logo of a corporation.

<IMG SRC=”corplogo:corporationID” SIZE=”size”>

Generates the logo of a faction.

<IMG SRC=”factionlogo:factionID” SIZE=”size”>

Icons

Generates the icon of a given typeID

<IMG SRC=”typeicon:typeID” width=”64”>





FAQ

1. Why does the IGB not show all pages?

The IGB was made to support the EVE gameplay. It is not designed to display all normal HTML pages. Currently many pages can not be displayed because they use very bad HTML syntax.

Make sure all tags are closed correctly and there is no unmatched <, > or “.

2. How can i view the HTML source of a page?

Right click on the page and chose show source. This even works if the browser displays an error for this page.

3. My pages take forever to load

Here are some speedup tips:
