Hi Mark > So, should _canonical_uri work on external files? Or should we expect > browsers to block it?
This discussion is about _canonical_uri with text files; it works differently for images and HTML files (because it can use the <img> and <iframe> tags, instead of having to load the data directly with XMLHttpRequest). _canonical_uri works with external text files when the TiddlyWiki is hosted on a HTTP URI, and the destination is CORS enabled. It doesn’t work when the TiddlyWiki is hosted on a file:// URI, which is what you are presumably doing. The only thing that’s still confusing me is your report that visiting the following URL in Firefox on Windows 7 doesn’t work: http://tiddlywiki.com/#Alice%20in%20Wonderland Best wishes Jeremy. > It does not work on mine.
