Always, always, always remember that this is the Real world(tm). If you need to spend hours for finding a workaround for something that works fine using "proprietary" stuff, it may be because the standards are wrong or broken. Keep it mind mind that a browser is there to display a workable interface to the user, not to test if standards are correctly followed. ;)
The bookmarklets are a really nice example of where creative use of something that's not really standardized but available in most browsers totally adds value for the user. Standards will eventually follow what is used in real-life applications, but will always be a few years behind (Ajax, anyone?). Be pragmatic, use what works. :) Best, Thomas Am 12.02.2007 um 13:45 schrieb Christophe Porteneuve: > > Hey Thomas, > > Thomas Fuchs a écrit : >>> Nor do I know of a single use case that cannot be better >>> addressed through W3C-compliant techniques, instead of using URLs >>> for a purpose that was never their concern. >> >> There is the use case of Bookmarklets, which rely heavily on the >> javascript:... syntax. > > D'oh!! > > /me hides in dark corner > > However, bmklets are for use in, well, bookmarks.
