Description Alexey Proskuryakov 2006-07-03 03:20:32 PDT 
Pnglet is a JavaScript library for creating PNG images on the fly. I've seen it work with Safari before, but the "official" example page is broken, for whatever reason (missing image icons are displayed instead of the examples). 

Works fine in Firefox 1.5.

test case

Looks like Mozilla supports "javascript:" URLs as image sources, and WebKit doesn't.

IE does not seem to support javascript: URLs as image source either.

test case (works with Firefox 2)

The original test case no longer works in Firefox 2 for some reason, adding one that does.

javascript: in SCRIPT src

"javascript:" URLs don't work for scripts either (do work in Firefox). Looks like they only work for main resources at the moment.

HTML5 used to support javascript: URLs, but it no longer does: <http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=6138&to=6139>.

All attached test cases match current behavior of Safari 15.6 and as mentioned in Comment 05 that javascript:img_src and javascript: URLs are not supported as per HTML5, I think this can be marked as "RESOLVED WONTFIX". Thanks!
Comment 7 Alexey Proskuryakov 2022-07-29 15:37:33 PDT 
Yeah, looks like everyone else no longer supports this.
