Something's weird about the links. I can't middle-click them to open in a new window.
Edit: In fact, there's a lot about this site that seems to use JS to replace basic functionality of the Web, incompletely, without providing the same UX.
I expected I'd be able to search through titles on the current page using ctrl+F, for example, but that doesn't work because of the "infinite scroll" thing it's trying to do. Why do that? Infinite scroll on top of pagination seems completely redundant, and the list of all RFC titles is a finite and relatively small chunk of data anyway.
- teh_klev 12y agoI agree, my initial thoughts were "oh nice", then after two minutes trying to use it I thought it was an example of how to cram in as many UI anti-patterns as possible.
- mercer 12y agoYeah, this site is a good showcase of how one shouldn't override 'native' functionality unless absolutely necessary.
- pjc50 12y agoFortunately, the authoritative RFC index works just fine for both of those: http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/ http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/
- Gracana 12y agoCan you give an example? It all seems to work fantastically for me in Firefox 34.0.5 on Windows 7. I'm not usually a fan of single page applications, but after digging through this for a while, it seems very nice.
- McGlockenshire 12y ago> Can you give an example? Get to any list of RFCs. Right click, middle click, ctrl+click, or do anything other than left click on the "link" to the RFC you want to read. They are not real links. They can not be opened in new windows.
- Gracana 12y agoOh, yep, you're right. I could have sworn I tried that, but apparently I did not.
