I’ve been working with web server filters a lot lately, and it got me thinking about using javascript (js) as a client-side text filter.
It reminded me of how cool I thought it was that browsers could transform XML with XSL. I ended up never really using that capability, mainly because, if I understand correctly, search engine spiders have a tough time parsing raw XML.
In that case, it might be more appropriate to do some simple text filtering on the client-side, and actually, jQuery makes doing so really easy. I like this idea, and I’m going to make use of it!
