Re: Re^5: Filtering potentially dangerous URI schemas in <a href="...">

And my client-supplied CSS trumps everything you do on the web site. I wouldn't have every known you'd intended that to be differently colored until it came up. In general this is the "don't communicate solely through color" dictum.

Then how about `class="unsafe"`? The default could be bold red, with the "unsafe link" text prepended, and usersupplied CSS could style it as desired. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

Sure you could do a specific CSS class but unless you get all the potential users to add the `.unsafe { blah blah }` snippet to their CSS configuration then it's a moot point. I'm just thinking that if that went into the site documentation somewhere that it'd be mostly invisible since I don't expect people would notice. That's a guess anyway. I think all I'm reall saying is that you absolutely cannot count on color being available as a device for communication. It's quite obvious that if you prepend some sort of warning text like "Potentially Unsafe Link<a href="mocha:alert('foo!')" >link</a> that something is going on. `__SIG__ printf "You are here %08x\n", unpack "L!", unpack "P4", pack "L!", B::svref_2object(sub{})->OUTSIDE;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If you look back, you'll notice my original proposal did include some text.. `:-)` Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
