CSK demo

Friday, 31 August 2007

I’ve put together a little CSK demo, it’s still early stages yet and there’s quite a bit more I can do but I thought I’d share the code early because I’ve a lot on at the moment and it might be a while before the next update and also it’s really interesting stuff.

It just goes to show that CSS standards are becoming way too powerful. I’ve found all sorts of stuff looking through the CSS 3 specification, regular expressions, and/or/not etc.

The Kit currently includes 2 sections at the moment: conditional history and data storage. It’s possible to tell if you have visited any URL and store data on the fly without refreshing the page.

Keep your eye on this page for updates.

    Hum, in your demo, I only see CSS 2 Selectors, which are implemented correctly in numbers of browsers (even WebKit and Opera if I remember well…)

    Hi nEUrOO

    I don’t know if that is good news or bad news….I’m going to add some more stuff soon which will use CSS 3, I think my confusion was that some of the selectors used were defined in CSS 2 but improved in CSS 3.

    Actually, it’s a good news for you, since it should work but not only with firefox 🙂
    (depending how thorough is the implementation of the CSS 2 Selectors)

    Yeah good news for the CSK but rather bad news if it works in all browsers from a personal security perspective….

    I’m not sure if this is a bug in Firefox or the standards need revision. Either way it’s not good.

    Well, for a design point of view, selectors are important and it really changes the way of using the CSS 🙂
    But I really think that the problem here is not exactly in the CSS spec. or whatever but more in the way browsers allows the “history” stuff… really bad for privacy.

    Yep bad for privacy and also can be used for other things like my CSS lAN scanning demo. Because the browser can create browser history and then find if it was successful.
