I’m building a web app in which I build the page from components. A section here on the page with its own elements, layout and control code, another one over there, insulated from the first. I’m using iframes because each one is self-contained, has its own JavaScript and DOM namespace, styles etc.
An alternative might have been to house each component in a positioned DIV, but the namespace issues and the dynamic reloading of the components made iframe the perfect tool.
Unfortunately, iframes seem to be being pushed out of the picture. XHTML Strict has no support for iframe. I understand it is to be deprecated.
In order to emulate the functionality that iframes provide, I may have to write code that enforces namespace via prefix and then div-loading code.
Anyone got any better ideas?
While trawling through my referrer logs today, I caught a paranoidfish. Perhaps it will go well with gruyere.
Albert Delgado is hosting a new blog about using Disruptive Technology in the education system. Check out the category links for explanations of a whole slew of resources. (not just a half slew, mind you, an entire-regulation-measure slew)
Dan Gillmor comments on the latest installment of measures accelerating America’s descent to Hell in a handbasket.
This is absolutely serious shit, folks. The constitution is now next to useless with stuff like this happening. The very foundation of American society is being rent asunder and unless it’s caught early, there may be no way for it to become unfucked.

Mmmmm – less filling!
This video of a demonstration by Doug Englebart at Stanford Research Institute in 1968 contains so many mind-boggling examples of advanced technology that it surely must have some people wondering about the validity of their patents.
I noticed today at the gym that it’s odd how the very people who treat their bodies most like a temple are the same ones who are most likely to tattoo graffiti over their sacred walls of braun. Seems incongruous to me.
