A couple notes - HTTP doesn't have sessions, that's a fiction that server authors created to optimize resources by holding onto & later releasing those resources. It useful to talk about in regards to the application logic, but it's not part of HTTP. - different applications have different concep

Hello, I know people are going to want to read individual or groups of pixel values. Certain image processing algorithms require it. (For example, certain edge detection algorithms. Etc. There's alot of different ones.) Now, I'm aware of the toDataURL() method. (Which is a very nice feature!

[whatwg] OBJECT as a link target?

2005-06-13 Thread Hallvord R M Steen
Dear list, often a page needs to interact with a plugin and tell it to load another file. Today this is of course done with JavaScript, which is difficult because most plugins have different JS interfaces, and there are also differences between the plugins' ActiveX based interfaces in IE and the NP

Hello, Having a way to "logout" the user from an HTTP authentication session is very desirable. The only reason I use "cookie" based authentication is because there is no way (that I know of) to log the user out of an "HTTP authentication session". (Once they are logged in, they are always logge

[whatwg] "canvas" tag and animations ?

2005-06-13 Thread Charles Iliya Krempeaux
Hello, I'm very appreciative of the new "canvas" tag. (I think it has been a long time coming.) Now, I know that people are going to want to create animations using this. So, what I was wondering is if there are any built in facilities for this? (I didn't notice anything in the spec for it.)
