new browser tags ideas!

Techi · May 21st, 2001, 06:18 PM

prahaps it is a good idea for the developers of future browsers to have tags or somthing that disable all the functions that allow you to get these things. examples could be:

<norclick>
anything that cannot be right clicked on
</norclick>

<body printscreen="false">

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript"></SCRIPT>

these are fictional tags so dont be a wolly and try to use them but they are a good thought to be put towards developers (as if anyone knows how to put ideas accross).

do you think these tags would suit developers good in the future?

you could probably pull off some of these ideas with XML, I couldn't tell ya how, seeing as I'm just starting working with it

Those would be nice. Also, they should either bring back the XMP tag or make a new one that does the same things.

NOOO!!! Viewing and saving web pages is something that makes the web such a great thing. You can easily see how someone does something, and there is nothing wrong with that. If you are mad that someone is taking your source, or saving your images, then sue them for copyright infringement or somthing!

Yeah, i see why it may have some uses, for say a program on a network, that is just gonna get people more confused if they see the source than help them. But if they come out with it, everyone will probably go crazy with it.

yes maybe like the simpsons background sound craze and in the end webmasters yould be sick of the tags hiding useful sources.

by the way i dont suppose you know how to deactivate the geocities advert do you? i need this code so i can program a simple popup instead of having to load the ad on every page load!

i know geocities arnt the best hosting company but this is a test area. i have a nice account with i12 that my page will be put on once it is nearly complete!

oh yes and you get somthing like 600 mb web space at www.i12.com and your name would be www.techisoft.i12.com or somthing similar with about 6 pop3 accounts - its also free to join.

While your idea is not bad, I will tell you it will never happen. HTML is for marking up the design of the web page and W3C will not add a tag that does notfit in with that ideaology. Now while yes it is possible to just program it in into a browser regardless whether it is recommended by W3C, it would be a step backwards for the crusade to get all browsers up to th standards so that any web page will look the same in any browser.

Just my 2 cents

You could still get the source anyway by using a number of methods...

Which then makes the new tags pointless...

Here, it is not exactly the thing you want, but you can very easily modify it to blink your text.

Code:

<html>

// Script (C) 1999 - 2000 Link Projects Inc.

<head>
<title></title>
<script language="javascript">

var bgcolor = new Array("FFFFFF","FFFFFF","FFFFFF","FFFFFF","FFFFFF","FFFFFF","FFFFFF","F9F9F9","F1F1F1","E9E9E9","E1E1E1","D9D9D9","D1D1D1","C9C9C9","C1C1C1","B9B9B9","B1B1B1","A9A9A9","A1A1A1","999999","919191","898989","818181","797979","717171","696969","616161","595959","515151","494949","414141","393939","313131","292929","212121","191919","111111","090909","000000");
var n = 0;
var b = 1;

var isNav=(navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")!=-1);

function flash(){
color = bgcolor[n];
aa = "<font size='10' color="+color+" face='verdana, arial, helvetica'><strong>blinking text</strong></font>"
n+=b;if (n==38) b-=2;if (n==0) b+=2;
if(isNav) {document.object1.document.write(aa);document.object1.document.close();}
else object1.innerHTML=aa
setTimeout("flash()", 20);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="flash()"; bgcolor="#000000">
<div id="object1" style="position:absolute; visibility:show; left:25px; top:50px; z-index:2"></div>
</body>
</html>

how many other methods can you think of sail i can think of one right now and that is to type the URL into a download manager like gozilla or re get!

***? That post i made up there was not supposed to be there! It was the answer to another question!
