Tricking a website to interpret root-relative paths as belong to a different domain?

jyeager11 — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 17:52:19 GMT

Hi guys,

I own two domains. One contains the HTML index file, whose paths are all root-relative (ie, href="/pages/file.html"). The second domain contains *everything* except that file.

Naturally, all root-relative paths in the index file on domain.com will look for those files on domain.com (made-up name). However, I would like the server to tell the browsers to fetch these files on alternatedomain.com (made-up name) without changing any of the root-relative paths.

I am referring to *all* paths, including href calls, src calls, stylesheet calls, and even target locations found in .js files. All of these are either full http links or root-relative paths. I'd like the full http links to keep pointing where they're pointing, but all the root-relative paths to point to alternatedomain.com.

Ideally, in a perfect world, I'd insert a line in the .htaccess file that tells either the server or the browser that we're on alternatedomain.com and not domain.com. In other words, that tricks it.

Is this at all do-able? Again, using php variables is not an option because that would require inserting the string on every path. I'd like those paths to remain root-relative in the actual HTML file.

I'd be technically hot-linking everything, but I'd be hot-linking to my own alternate domain, so there's no danger of the other side simply disabling hot-linking.

Seeking help for print component/script

hey folks

i am using FullCalendar to display schedules. the schedule shows great on the screen, but when i want to print - its really bad. even their print CSS doesnt do much.

sample of printed version: //img31.imageshack.us/img31/8441/databasew.jpg

i am looking for some kind of a script to "capture" what is on the screen and print that - maybe into PDF or something. kind of like the aviary plugin on Firefox does (except that its manual...)

anything like this exist??

thanks!

Semantic markup, linking or confusion

kgun — Thu, 30 May 2013 07:56:56 GMT

1. Background.

Now three are at least two organizations, http://www.w3.org/ and http://www.whatwg.org/ that support the HTML standard. I am very much a fan of the living standard at whatwg.org since that constantly evolves. But I don't like that there may be a web standards divergence that may end in complete confusion or anarchy.

2. A good example.

I came to the forum to write this thread and noted the following related thread:

Open Graph and Semantic Markup - Play Nice Together?

that in my opinion is a good example of the semantic markup and linking confusion that is now present.

3. Schema.org and the Open Graph protocol.

Now there are at least two new sites that introduce their own standards and linking mechanisms.

4. Advanced semantic linking.

This WebProWorld thread:

Advanced semantic linking and transclusion.

orginally written 07-03-2008, 07:52 PM still holds the number one position on Google for the query:

advanced semantic linking

that did not get much attention (comments).

That thread is about the XML linking technology XLink. In a sense HTML is a bad dialect of XML if the HTML markup validates that is built into web developement platforms like Adobe dreamweaver CS6.

5. The semantic web lost in confusion?

During the last few years there has been written a lot about the semantic web. If you put semanticweb.org in your webbrowser, you are now automatically redirected to this page. Personally, I should like that Wiki to be on a HTML

that takes you to that page. So are the semanticweb.org breaking their own standard?

6. HTML5 for ever HTML or XML?

If you look at the new HTML tags introduced with HTML5 like

header
footer
section
article
nav
aside

that more and more reminds me of XML tags. In XML, you are absolutely free to define your own tags as long as they validate. So one solution (described in 7. below) to a confusion lik this Google rich snippest example:

Quote:

New! schema.org lets you mark up a much wider range of item types on your pages, using a vocabulary that Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo! can all understand. Find out more. (Google still supports your existing rich snippets markup, though.)

New or the start of the confusion?

7. A simple solution

XML and the related thechnologies like XLink is obviously not the solution to the confusion described above. My simple solution is:

Let W3C and WHATWG join forces so they support a new living HTML standard more like XML, but not as free as XML in the sense that you can freely make your own tags and markup. My proposal for a solution:

If you need a new HTML element (tag) that is not already implemented, submit it to the W3C (WHATWG) for a fast acceptance or justified rejection.

If the new element (tag) is accepted, it is automatically added to the (living) HTML standard.
