So you mean WAI-ARIA? How does it honor i.e. people with neurological problems that need as little optical movement (slides, flashes, popups) as possible?Senky wrote:no change for handicapped users - ARIA
No, this saves the document(s), not the current DOM. Hence all JS functions that rely on data exchange with the server will fail when being offline.Senky wrote:Ctrl+S still works
That's not the point: sometimes clients really have no support, or are forced to not have, or JS is stripped. BlackBerry's Curve internet browser does not support JS, hence no XMLHttpRequest aswell.

While I have no idea how an HTTP server is unable to this already the HTTP clients are also already able to aquire such things thru WebSockets, which are standardized since 2011 and implemented by internet browsers even earlier.Senky wrote:Push notifications ... need a server with proper software ... by no means a common part of today's hostings
Yes I mean that. How does ajax changes the way page animates? Disabling JS at all can do that, but ajax has nothing with that. You can replace old data with new one received by ajax instantly. You do not need to animate that (even though users get confused when no animation is performed while data are changed)AmigoJack wrote:So you mean WAI-ARIA?

Alright valid statement. But the question is, if people really use this functionality at sites using phpBB...AmigoJack wrote:No, this saves the document(s), not the current DOM. Hence all JS functions that rely on data exchange with the server will fail when being offline.
In current state of web development, there is one rule followed by all modern designs, corporations, most visited sites (including Youtube): that if user has not js enabled, they do not care.AmigoJack wrote:That's not the point: sometimes clients really have no support, or are forced to not have, or JS is stripped.

Yes, ajax regularly requests for new data. But that is not the case of push notifications. Also, using ajax to reload page (like Youtube does) makes site load faster because of less data requested. Generally heavy ajaxifying of site causes less load to servers, thus traffic as well.AmigoJack wrote:Files: yes. Data: no. AJAX targets to dynamically load data - that's what I mean.
HTTP has nothing to do with server. It is a type of communication. Yes, WebSockets are here, however that is the case I speak about. Clients (browsers) are capable of such communication, but servers has very poor support of such technology.AmigoJack wrote:While I have no idea how an HTTP server is unable to this already the HTTP clients are also already able to aquire such things thru WebSockets, which are standardized since 2011 and implemented by internet browsers even earlier.
I just purchased this extesnion but there is a issue with it. When enabled, Visitors using Safari, (tested on two MacBook pro's) just get a white page when visiting the board. I dropped you an email to your support email so hopefully you/we can figure out what's going on with it.Senky wrote: ↑Fri Nov 30, 2018 9:45 am There is (paid) Browser and Mobile Notifications Extension out there.
Unfortunately, Safari for macOS nor any iOS browser is yet capable of receiving browser notifications
If a person is stupid enough to write forum posts while driving, it is their fault. That's not a rational reason not to have such a feature. If you can't control your urges when receiving a notification, turn on the "Don't disturb" mode or don't subscribe to these notifications in the first place. There's plenty of people who would know how to use the feature appropriately.
