Re: [whatwg] URL: URLQuery

2012-10-13 Thread Mike Dierken
Since a URL query string is not a strict map with only one value for a key, would the get/set operations allow for an array as well as an atomic value? On Fri, Oct 12, 2012 at 3:02 PM, Glenn Maynard gl...@zewt.org wrote: The object paradigm is more natural for the common case:

Wow. Pretty, uh, interesting. Why not just have XmlHttpRequest configurable to not share cookies, not share auth, not accept anything but xml, etc.? Does this allow improperly secured applications to be accessed? Application that are looking GET cannot be accessed because JSONRequest only uses

The use of 'class' for presentation is wrong anyway (and hopefully obsoleted in HTML 5). And yes, although it is named incorrectly, the attribute can take multiple, space-separated, values. Not. For. Presentation. ??? Could you explain? I use that to map to CSS all the time. What am I doing

It definitely should be a POST, because the action performed by it is not idempotent. See [1]. I agree is seems logical to use POST - the actual URI being visited by the user likely would be in the content body (although a request header similar to Referer could be used) and no state from the

Since this is effectively capturing where the user's attention is being spent (the click event I mean), should you also define the other set of events of interest as well? a href=... on-click-notify=myattention.org/dierken on-hover-notify=myattention.org/dierken

An empty a element is semantically meaningless. An a element can be a target of a link - it is addressable via a URI. Does that count as meaningless? See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/links.html#h-12.1 The destination anchor of a link may be an element within an HTML document. The

Yeah, I guess that's all you really need. Perhaps if a new HTTP status code was created, to signify the logout, then that would work. So, for example: #1: The user clicks a logout button. #2: This POSTs the form. #3: This causes the server to clean up and return the new HTTP
