I’ve written previously about reloading a document using only HTML but that got me thinking: What are all the values you can put in an anchor tag’s href attribute?

We’re big fans of a deep dive into an area of web technology that perhaps we all think we knew all about. Here I thought I knew everything to do with href values, but discovered a new feature that we can incorporate into Conffab in the near future.
Media fragments in an href allow us to target a specific part of a video or audio, and even a specific segment of video or audio. It’s not something that’s entirely widely supported, but we use our own version of this for Conffab to target specific parts of a video. We’ll explore using a standards-based approach instead. Thanks, Jim!
