What we still can’t do client-side

Read Original

This article examines several significant limitations in modern client-side web development that lack proper specifications or APIs. It discusses the inability to do cross-page templating without JavaScript, the lack of a sane standard for client-side localization, the absence of a screen capture API for DOM elements, and the impossibility of accessing POST parameters or HTTP headers. The author argues these are fundamental gaps that need browser-level solutions.
