Sorry to remain off topic, but I also have a book recommendation for these
sorts of things - O'Reilly's "Dynamic HTML" (might be Dynamic XHTML these
days :-).

This really isn't the place to discuss the multitude of differences
between and faults in browsers.  You will certainly find more as you
travel this path.  All you can do is try to code in such a way as to
offer your users as little frustration as possible.

For some insights into browsers and their ways, see for example
"Professional JavaScript" ISBN 1-861002-70-X.

they are the same, see http_protocol.c:

r->args = r->parsed_uri.query;
