On repeat: “ask information only once”;  Eenmalige uitvraag – NORA Online

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/07/13

Since the SVB PGB site keeps violating the [Wayback/Archive] AP12: Eenmalige uitvraag – NORA Online principle, some more emphasis on it as the usefulness of the “ask information only once” principle is not limited to government sites or commercial sites providing services for the government.

The principle “ask information only once” is valid for any site and needs to be present at all times, especially in these situations:

  1. when an authentication token is expired and re-authentication is needed
  2. when checking if authentication might have been expired and a page refresh is done during that check

I wrote about 1. in SVB PGB and DigiD security suddenly logged you out every 15 minutes despite the count down counter indicating otherwise ( wrote it in March 2021, published it in December 2021 when I thought it had been sort of solved).

That was obnoxious and took a very long time to fix (despite the mandatory aspect of the “ask information only once” principle and me pushing for a quick resolving in [Archive.is] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Omdat de @SVB_PGB site hiermee een noodzakelijk NORA archictectuur principe schendt (je raakt bij de logoff/logon de informatie die je op de pagina aan het invullen bent kwijt): kan dit een hoge prirotieit krijgen? Zie: – …”).

In February 2022, I had enough energy to submit the final PGB administration parts to the SVB PGB site. I didn’t get logged out every few minutes for the first hour or so (that only happened after being authenticated more than one hour, then repeating every 15 minutes), but I bumped into 2: loosing a lot of data in an at first unpredictable manner.

An underlying thing is that despite the NORA rules to be mandatory there is no sanction for the SVB (or any other government organisation) to fix this: users have to use the site and take the burden in order to get their payments. Ruurd Pels highlighted in these two answers to my tweets: harsh, but hitting the nail on the head:

The problem is that every each period of 15 minutes session activity , when you submit a form (the whole flow is form based, where the amount of data per form varies: sometimes just a confirmation button, sometimes a full month of data containing the hours worked) you get an intermediate quickly flashing “Redirecting…” on your screen, then loose the data entered in that form:

  1. [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Het NORA principe wat @StOnSoftware een jaar geleden noemde wordt weer door het @SVB_PGB geschonden. Het duurde even om te reproduceren, maar je verliest ongeveer elke 15 minuten je ingevoerde data. 1/” / Twitter
  2. [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Wat je dan ziet tijdens de submit (Verder, Opslaan) is een kort “Redirecting…” scherm op een willekeurige plek in de flow …, …, … In dit voorbeeld verlies je een maand aan invulwerk en is alles weer leeg. 2/ …” / Twitter
    Declaratie insturen - empty declaration showing you just lost a month of input

    Declaratie insturen – empty declaration showing you just lost a month of input

  3. [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Vorig jaar werd je nog elke 15 minuten uitgelogd en was het nog erger, zie … 3/” / Twitter
  4. [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “en … Dat probleem zorgde er voor dat ik maar sporadisch declaraties instuurde, maar nu met een hele stapel declaraties is het probleem op een subtielere wijze nog steeds aanwezig. 4/” / Twitter
  5. [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Kunnen jullie dit laten fixen? Dank alvast. 5/5” / Twitter

After more than an hour, I bumped into 1 again:

  1. [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Oh @SVB_PGB: die bug van uitloggen na een kwartier bestaat nog steeds (zie …). Kreeg ik net in een uur tijd 3 keer. Na inloggen kom je wel weer in de flow, maar de data die je daar hebt ingevuld is dan verdwenen. A/ CC @EefvanKoos” / Twitter
  2. [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@SVB_PGB @EefvanKoos Ik vermoed dat beide te maken hebben met de sessie-duur van de active authenticatie van @DigiDwebcare omdat je in beide gevallen het “Redirecting…” stukje heel kort ziet verschijnen ofwel in het form of bij DigiD login beide met verlies aan data. B/B” / Twitter

[Archive] Stephan Eggermont (@StOnSoftware) / Twitter quote retweeted my initial message at [Archive] Stephan Eggermont on Twitter: “🧵 NORA heeft een aantal hele duidelijke principes om de burger niet te frustreren. Niet twee keer naar hetzelfde vragen geldt ook als je een sessie time-out. Dan moet je dus al ingevulde gegevens bewaren” / Twitter, which translated is

🧵 NORA has a number of very clear principles in order not to frustrate citizens. Not asking for the same thing twice also applies if you time out a session. Then you have to save already entered data

An introduction about NORA is at Nederlandse Overheid Referentie Architectuur – Wikipedia:

Nederlandse Overheid Referentie Architectuur of NORA is het interoperabiliteitsraamwerk voor de Nederlandse overheid en vertaalt daartoe wetgeving, beleid en standaarden naar architectuurprincipes, beschrijvingen en modellen. Het is een beschrijving van uitgangspunten voor het inrichten van de informatiehuishouding van de Nederlandse overheid. NORA is relevant voor de uitvoering van alle publieke taken door publieke en private organisaties.

Thanks Stephan Kämper for showing me how to validate HTML on-line at W3C

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/07/05

In Another difference between the and element in HTML&XHTML, I mentioned Stephan Kämper taught be about the W3C HTML NU validator in [Archive] Stephan Kämper on Twitter: “I try to write fairly simple & #valid #HTML ➙ …gist..Validating it with …online HTML-Validator…, I get the error ‘No p element in scope but a p end tag seen.‘ What? Why? Removing the list from the HTML, gets rid of the error… Why?!? I. don’t. get it. 1/2″ / Twitter.

Upon closer inspection, there are actually two w3c.org HTML validators, each operating in three modes:

  1. Default checker which is DTD-based:

    This validator checks the [Wayback/Archive] markup validity of Web documents in HTML, XHTML, SMIL, MathML, etc. If you wish to validate specific content such as [Wayback/Archive] RSS/Atom feeds or [Wayback/Archive] CSS stylesheets, [Wayback/Archive] MobileOK content (now retired), or to [Wayback/Archive] find broken links, there are [Wayback/Archive] other validators and tools available. As an alternative you can also try our [Wayback/Archive] non-DTD-based validator.

    1. [Wayback/Archive] The W3C Markup Validation Service: #validate_by_uri mode (without #validate_by_uri URL fragment) and

      default: checks the HTML of a URL

    2. [Archive] The W3C Markup Validation Service: #validate_by_upload mode

      you upload a file of which the HTML then gets checked

    3. [Archive] The W3C Markup Validation Service: #validate_by_input mode

      you enter the HTML to be checked into a text box

  2. NU checker which is non-DTD-based:
    1. [Wayback/Archive] Ready to check – Nu Html Checker; #address mode (without #address URL fragment) and

      default: checks the HTML of a URL

    2. [Archive] Ready to check – Nu Html Checker: #file mode

      you upload a file of which the HTML then gets checked

    3. [Archive] Ready to check – Nu Html Checker: #textarea mode

      you enter the HTML to be checked into a <textarea> element

Notes:

  1. that all three above modes get selected by a URL fragment (after a # hash) which the Wayback machine cannot individually save, but Archive.is can, hence the non-default URLs are not saved only in Archive.is, and not in the Wayback machine.
  2. The DTD-based checker seems non-functional and redirects all requests to the non-DTD-based checker.

I also took a look at the Wayback machine saved pages under the direct URLs of both checkers:

  1. https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://validator.w3.org/*
  2. https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://validator.w3.org/nu/*

I learned that the NU validator accepts at least these arguments:

Note that you cannot do this directly with HTML files saved in a gist or GitHub repository because it serves all RAW files as

[Wayback/Archive] text/plain MIME type. You can work around this by using a raw.githack.com trick I explained before at:

I also amended my above reply with more information using the ?doc= parameter with RAW gist files and archived that thread at [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @jpluimers on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App.

Another difference between the and element in HTML & XHTML

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/07/04

A few weeks after queueing What is the difference between <p>, <div> and <span> in HTML&XHTML?, Stephan Kämper posted an interesting other “TIL“.

Besides that TIL, it also taught me about an on-line HTML validator. Cool: I learned two things from Stephan that day!

The above post talked about phrasing versus non-phrasing elements, Stephan discovered another difference between the p and div elements:

Stephan’s TIL: [Archive] Stephan Kämper on Twitter: “TIL or Life (and the HTML specification) is full of wonders and surprises ➙ “List elements (in particular, ol and ul elements) cannot be children of p elements.” …” / Twitter

It was based on his quest [Archive] Stephan Kämper on Twitter: “I try to write fairly simple & #valid #HTML ➙ …gist..Validating it with …online HTML-Validator…, I get the error ‘No p element in scope but a p end tag seen.‘ What? Why? Removing the list from the HTML, gets rid of the error… Why?!? I. don’t. get it. 1/2″ / Twitter, which I archived at [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @S_2K on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App.

I responded this: [Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@S_2K I thought it would be something like explained in p/div/span differences But it is yet another html oddity where structural and logical concept are mixed in one language.” / Twitter.

Both his quest and tweet referred to this key documentation part: [Wayback/Archive] HTML Standard: grouping content; the p element; note on lists:

JavaScript Bookmarklet to enable Mastodon publishing for a WordPress.com post that is edited in the Classic Editor

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/07/02

I quickly hacked together this JavaScript Bookmarklet today, so it is without any checks and assumes you have enabled one Mastodon account for publishing, that you are hosting your blog on WordPress.com, and using the Classic Editor:

javascript:(function(){
  publicizeFormEditHref = document.getElementById('publicize-form-edit');
  publicizeFormEditHref.click();
  mastodonCheckboxes = document.getElementsByClassName('wpas-submit-mastodon');
  mastodonCheckboxes[0].checked = true;
  publicizeFormHideHref = document.getElementById('publicize-form-hide');
  publicizeFormHideHref.click();
  updateButtonHref = document.getElementById('publish');
  updateButtonHref.click();
})();

The above code is the state of [Wayback/Archive] JavaScript Bookmarklet for the WordPress classic editor which enables mastodon publishing (assuming you have one mastodon publishing account enabled … )  and due to be improved in a later blog post.

This will enable the currently edited post to be published to Mastodon, then update/publish the post.

Converting an inline svg image to file

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/06/28

Via [Wayback/Archive.is] inline svg to file – Google Search, found first [Wayback/Archive] Convert Inline SVG to File – Eyedeal Graphics

  1. Use your browser’s “View Source” or “Page Source” command to view the page’s HTML code.
  2. Locate and copy all the code between the beginning <svg> and closing </svg> tags.
  3. Paste the copied code, including the <svg> and </svg> tags into your text editor of choice. (Atom, Brackets, Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, etc.)
  4. Save the text file as an SVG file. (ex. legacy-xyz-products-logo.svg)
  5. Open the SVG file in your preferred vector editing tool. (Adobe, Illustrator, Affinity Designer, Sketch, Inkscape, etc.)

That wasn’t enough, as not all SVG files then render properly, so luckily the next hit was [Wayback/Archive] html – Convert an inline SVG into a SVG file – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] Paul LeBeau):

JavaScript – how to refresh an iframe automatically – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/06/14

Based on [Wayback/Archive] javascript – how to refresh an iframe automatically – Stack Overflow and help from [Archive] Roderick Gadellaa (@RGadellaa) / Twitter, I used this JavaScript code right after the body in the html page to reload part of the iframes every 3 minutes and another part every 3 hours:

<script>
  var iframes3minuteInterval = setInterval( () => {
    const ids3minutes = [ 'agenda_iframe', 'month_iframe' ];
    ids3minutes.forEach( id => {
      element = document.getElementById( id );
      element.src = element.src;
    });
  }, 1000 * 60 * 3);
  var iframes3hourInterval = setInterval( () => {
    const ids3hours = [ 'weerplaza_nederland_iframe', 'weerplaza_radar_iframe', 'buienradar_iframe' ];
    ids3hours.forEach( id => {
      element = document.getElementById( id );
      element.src = element.src;
    });
  }, 1000 * 60 * 60 * 3);
</script>

The iframes are widgets for:

This was to workaround GitLab pages on a custom domain are nice, but be aware of intermittent 502 and certificate errors. Now the page only gets loaded once, and the widgets at intervals that are needed.

What is the difference between <p>, <div> and <span> in HTML&XHTML?

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/06/06

I write most of my documentation in Markdown or reStructuredText, so I don’t bump into html questions as often as in the past. But recently, I had to document in html as markdown was impossible, bumped in the choice between using div or p tags for paragraphs, and remembered there was a p problem not present with div but forgot which problem.

So I found [Wayback/Archive] What is the difference between <p>, <div> and <span> in HTML&XHTML? where the red bit explained what I forgot:

As others have answered… div and p are “block elements” (now redefined as Flow Content) and span is an “inline element” (Phrasing Content). Yes, you may change the default presentation of these elements, but there is a difference between “flow” versus “block”, and “phrasing” versus “inline”.

An element classified as flow content can only be used where flow content is expected, and an element classified as phrasing content can be used where phrasing content is expected. Since all phrasing content is flow content, a phrasing element can also be used anywhere flow content is expected. [Wayback/Archive] The specs provide more detailed info.

All phrasing elements, such as strong and em, can only contain other phrasing elements: you can’t put a table inside a cite for instance. Most flow content such as div and li can contain all types of flow content (as well as phrasing content), but there are a few exceptions: p, pre, and th are examples of non-phrasing flow content (“block elements”) that can only contain phrasing content (“inline elements”). And of course there are the normal element restrictions such as dl and table only being allowed to contain certain elements.

While both div and p are non-phrasing flow content, the div can contain other flow content children (including more divs and ps). On the other hand, p may only contain phrasing content children. That means you can’t put a div inside a p, even though both are non-phrasing flow elements.

Now here’s the kicker. These semantic specifications are unrelated to how the element is displayed. Thus, if you have a div inside a span, you will get a validation error even if you have span {display: block;} and div {display: inline;} in your CSS.

Thanks [Wayback/Archive] Dhamu for asking that question and [Wayback/Archive] chharvey for explaining these details!

I want to check out how to do POST requests using bookmarklets in order to save URLs to the WayBack machine

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/04/27

I want to check out how to do POST requests using bookmarklets in order to save URLs to the Wayback machine.

The reason is that every few months or so, saving a page the normal way through a something like https://web.archive.org/save/URL fails for one reason or the other, but going to https://web.archive.org/save, then entering URL, and pressing “SAVE PAGE” button works fine:

The the failing way above is using a GET request, the succeeding workaround will open https://web.archive.org/save/URL  using the below POST request (where I omitted some HTTP cookies and HTTP header fields for brevity).

  • POST request using PowerShell:
    $session = New-Object Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WebRequestSession
$session.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/96.0.4664.110 Safari/537.36"
Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri "https://web.archive.org/save/URL" `
-Method "POST" `
-WebSession $session `
-Headers @{
"method"="POST"
  "origin"="https://web.archive.org"
  "referer"="https://web.archive.org/save"
} `
-ContentType "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" `
-Body "url=URL&capture_outlinks=on&capture_all=on&capture_screenshot=on"
  • POST request using cURL on bash:
    curl 'https://web.archive.org/save/URL' \
  -H 'origin: https://web.archive.org' \
  -H 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  -H 'referer: https://web.archive.org/save' \
  --data-raw 'url=URL&capture_outlinks=on&capture_all=on&capture_screenshot=on' \
  --compressed
  • POST request using the fetch API in JavaScript:
    fetch("https://web.archive.org/save/URL", {
  "headers": {
    "content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
  },
  "referrer": "https://web.archive.org/save",
  "body": "url=URL&capture_outlinks=on&capture_all=on&capture_screenshot=on",
  "method": "POST",
  "mode": "cors"
});

BTW: Yes, I know that URL is not a valid URL, so it will return a page with “http://url/ URL syntax is not valid.“.

All links below via [Wayback/Archive] bookmarklet post request – Google Search:

I tried to put createFormSubmittingBookmarklets/createFormSubmitBookmarklets.js in a bookmarklet using both userjs.up.seesaa.net/js/bookmarklet.html and skalman.github.io/UglifyJS-online. That failed: somehow this code does not want to run as bookmarklet.

Running it from the console is fine though, and gave me this basic bookmarklet template:

javascript:function sf(ur,ty,fd){function me(tg,pr){var el=document.createElement(tg);for(const[nm,vl]of Object.entries(pr)){el.setAttribute(nm,vl);}return el}const fm=me("form",{action:ur,method:ty,style:"display:hidden;"});for(const[nm,vl]of Object.entries(fd)){fm.appendChild(me("input",{name:nm, value:vl}))}document.body.appendChild(fm);fm.submit()}sf("https://web.archive.org/save","post",{"url":"URL","capture_outlinks":"on","capture_all":"on","capture_screenshot":"on","wm-save-mywebarchive":"on","email_result":"on","":"SAVE PAGE"});

There bold URL there is the URL to be saved. I need to test this, then rework it to become parameterised.
