I got this blog post in my aggregator (Radio) a while back and have
been meaning to post about it. It mirrors a problem that I have
been experiencing as I have been hacking on Radio to add some new
capabilities. This is a post from Phil Windley’s blog … and it
shows where some of the use of CSS, Classes, and Styles breakdown.
As you can see below, when I viewed the post in my aggregator it appeared like this:
I’ll be speaking on microformats at the <a class=”hcal”
href=”javascript:showpopbox(‘blogtools:0.9-a7369493d8a334254d358837dd47669d’,
0, 20)”
id=”link_blogtools:0.9-a7369493d8a334254d358837dd47669d”>geek dinner
tonight. See you there.
What the heck? I’m guessing that the tags and attributes are
being exposed due to some sort of issue in rendering the post, without
having something from the base web page? I ran into something
like this when I was working to embed pictures and photos in my
posts. I wanted to hack a simple “image inserter” button into
Radio … and when I added some really cool Javascript it worked
wonderful … until you got my post in your aggregator.
I’m working on tweaking my code so that it will work fine without the
base page … but it was taking long enough that I delayed the
project. I’ll work on it more in the future. It was
interesting to see that other people have the same issues with their
posts.
The weird part? When I included Phil’s post in my post … it turned out like below! It’s appears to be ok …
I’ll be speaking on microformats at the geek dinner tonight. See you there.
