❝Fear My l33t Unicode Titles❞

Posted 2 years ago

There's absolutely no good reason this blog entry exists, other than the fact that I want to test out unicode path aliasing in Safari and Firefox. If it works, expect to see stupid hacks for Drupal soon.

Alas...

As Steven Wittens predicted, only Safari properly displays the happy smiley face path alias in the browser's url bar. Firefox does show the unicode character when mousing over, though...

Opera and Konqueror on Linux

Opera and Konqueror on Linux get it right as well (mouse hover AND url bar).
I believe with firefox this is by design, and there is an extension that fixes that. However.. could it be a feature?

Interested to learn more details about the France.fr launch (or rather, crash). 12 servers, and it died with 50,000 uniques? WTF? — 3 days ago
