Frank,
do you not use the back button?
I reckon I use it from around 5 to 50 times a day.
Of course I do... Although I can't say how often because that would
imply how much surfing the web I'm doing as opposed to actually working
and my boss just *might* read this list some day :)
I think the paradigm shift is less a shift and more of a paradigm
split. Web2 and javascript-based apps have taken their place (after 10
years finally) at the top of the web food chain. What's the best term?
Rich client?
That might be a fair way to put it, and this is something I've talked
extensively about over the past few years... I tend to use the term web
SITE vs. web APP... I talk about that in all of my books actually, and
the first one is a few years old. Web SITES are fundamentally different
animals than web APPS, and I think the rules are a bit different for
their development as well.
But Web2 hasn't replaced bog-standard HTML as its version number
suggests, it complements it, leaving a big space for low-Javascript
clients which just use the barest minimum or no javascript.
Yep, I don't disagree with that at all.
It's obviously only the former websites which need no back-button, and
obviously the latter where the back button is very useful.
Hehe, we're pretty much saying the same thing I think :)
Maybe W3C has already thought of this - I don't know - and we'll see
window.disableHistory appear in the DOM (or something similar)
Sure... about the same time they get rid of the <b> and <i> tags :)
