Why relative URLs should be forbidden for web developers * Yoast - 12 views

relative urls DIG252 protocol javascript css

shared by Vernon Fowler on 03 Jul 14 - No Cached
  • Relative URLs are often used because developers have a test environment on another hostname and it makes it easy for them to move stuff between their test environment and their live environment.
  • The useful cases are when it’s used inside JavaScript or CSS, so files are served over the same protocol as the current page, especially because when you’re on a https URL, serving anything over http basically breaks the security.
  • Using protocol relative URLs within links or canonical URLs is a very bad idea though, because you can still have duplicate content issues between http and https versions of a website.

  • Twitter’s issue could be rather easily resolved, as we’ve discussed, by using proper absolute URLs everywhere in their code. There are no real good arguments against not doing that.

    For any given project, it is advisable to limit yourself to the main audiences for the site, and only 3 or 4 of them at best. The more personas you have the more granular the population you are working toward supporting. It is better to paint with a broad brush and meet the needs of the larger populations than try to meet the needs of everyone.

    "Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a great tool that can really streamline the implementation of your favorite web analytics tool. Basically, you put a container tag on your site by editing your template and then you should be able manage the configuration and the data collection process of your web analytics tool without touching your template again. You should be able to do it, but the truth is you are not because of the dreadful lack of documentation about this tool."

html5 css3 javascript library browser modernizr css

  • Modernizr doesn’t actually magically enable these properties for browsers that don’t support them. It just tells the page whether that feature is supported on the browser the visitor is using or not.
  • To install Modernizr, download the file from this page. Then, on your site’s head tag, add a link to the file. For example: ?1<script src="js/modernizr-1.0.min.js"></script> The second step is to include on your html tag a class of “no-js”: ?1<html class="no-js"> Why add this tag? Because that will be the default state of the page. If JavaScript (js) isn’t on, then Modernizr won’t work at all (and probably other features of your site won’t work either…), so it’s good that we have a fallback for that case. If JavaScript is indeed enabled, once that page is loaded on the browser, that class will be replaced dynamically and it may look something like this: ?1<html class="js canvas canvastext geolocation rgba hsla no-multiplebgs borderimage borderradius boxshadow opacity no-cssanimations csscolumns no-cssgradients no-cssreflections csstransforms no-csstransforms3d no-csstransitions  video audio cufon-active fontface cufon-ready">

    "There is a tool that came to make our lives as progressive web designers a bit easier: Modernizr. In this short tutorial, learn how to apply this handy script to maximum effect on your sites."

url encode ampersand validation reference

shared by Vernon Fowler on 08 Jan 14 - Cached
  • To avoid problems with both validators and browsers, always use & in place of & when writing URLs in HTML
  • When writing the same URL in a plain text email message or in the location bar of your browser, you would use "&" and not "&".

    Building restful web services, like other programming skills is part art, part science. As the Internet industry progresses, creating a REST API becomes more concrete, with emerging best practices. As RESTful Web services don't follow a prescribed standard except for HTTP, it's important to build your RESTful API in accordance with industry best practices to ease development and simplify client adoption.
