Multiple-Target Hyperlinks for the Masses

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lobby-the-slash-coders-forever dept.

DukunSakti writes "For a long time people have talked about getting browser support for multilink feature. A multilink is a link that points to more than one targets. It's useful because many times a single target is not sufficient to describe a link. Wikipedia has numerous examples of acronyms and abbreviations that expand to more than one term. Well, I got sick of waiting, and so I wrote a plugin for the excellent Wiki application PmWiki that adds the multilink feature. This is fully supported under Mozilla Firefox, but only partially under Internet Explorer."

    Now this is funny. Many websites, written by piss poor web designers, tell you to upgrade your broswer to internet exploder. At least now, you have a reason to tell someone to upgrade without having to keep from laughing when you call it an upgrade.

  4. Sounds just like my idea.. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Wierd, I just sent in *my* great idea, and /. turned it down. It went something like:

    For years people have been groaning about being able to switch two variables. You know, switching say, x and y.

    You would think it would be easy, right? Set x = y. Set y = ...oh my god, what have I done!

    So I have decided to write my own, the first optimized variable switch function. It should partially work in Internet Explorer, mostly.

    function Switch(var x, var y) {
    var x_backup, x_another_backup, x_one_more_to_be_sure;
    var y_backup, y_just_in_case;

    x_backup = x;
    x_another_backup = x;
    x_one_more_to_be_sure = x;

    y = x;
    x = // TBD
    }
