AJaX This!
With all the AJaX hype in the last two and half years, two of the most obvious candidates for AJaXification in regular websites remain unmodernized. One is the "Printer Friendly Version" link. The other is the "Increase Font Size" link:
There are only six months left in the three-year hype cycle for AJaX. So please, fix all the "Printer Friendly Version" links on all the websites so that they don't cause a total refresh of the web page.
Re: AJaX This!
I don't see the relationship between hard coded font sizes and AJAX. These seem like orthogonal concepts. A web site should use relative font sizes regardless of whether it is AJAX or static, right?
An even bigger problem is blogs like this that include a "Remember me" button that NEVER WORKS... :-)
Re: AJaX This!
The other way to deal with printer friendly links is to simply link in an additional stylesheet (media="print") that gets used when you print. Try doing a print preview on your blog to see what I mean. :-)
Of course, this won't work if the content you want to print is spread across multiple pages, so Ajax could compliment this nicely.
Oh, happy July 4th!
