I’m not too studied-up on CORS, but I know what it’s there for. Currently there’s a number of things that are not possible to do because our generator is on a different subdomain than other generators or iframes, etc. etc. and even the top-level page we’re actually on.

With that allowed (I think CORS can allow this), there’s a lot more customisation we can do of things like t2i image iframes and gallery iframes, reading/changing the top-level url, etc. Maybe that’s something you don’t want to allow, but I for one have wanted to do these things for completely benign legit reasons multiple times.

    Bug: if it’s just in a code block and immediately happens, setting document.title is later overridden by $meta.title. Ideally $meta.title would happen first, and then any document.title stuff elsewhere–so that it takes precedence.

      Hmm. If it’s during page load, then I think I should encourage people to use $meta.title for that, since that’s what search engines will see. I.e. it might be misleading if, during page load, document.title takes precedence, but then later they see that search engine’s aren’t using that. (Note that some search engines will run the full JS/iframe for certain popular pages, so they would see document.title, but it’s not guaranteed)

        It’s just a temp thing for me; I add “DEV” at the front so I can see at a glance which copy I’m working on. And I still manage it, but I have to use a setTimeout, so… it’s not like it really prevents it anyhow. And a regular web page would accept this just fine without such a workaround.

        I would think the only time people ever use document.title in or out of perchance is to have a dynamic title based on stuff happening on the page–otherwise why script it at all? So it’s always done when the coder wants it to be different to the normal title, when they want to override it, ignoring anything else.

        So… dunno, my take is, it should just work the same as it does anywhere else. It’s cool that $meta.title does what it does, but it should be easily overridable I reckon. If nothing else, to keep parity with expectations for web pages in general.

        I guess that’s kind of my angle on a lot of this stuff, maybe you noticed… coming from a web-dev background and working just in raw html/css/js files for a while, I’m all about keeping it working as close to that as possible and avoid unexpected side-effects or differences. Doesn’t mean you have to take that stance, but that’s mine anyhow 😁
