@creativecommons Have you seen my extension: Highlighter: http://bit.ly/ahpxd5? Built on top of the API.

via Echofon

@Modulaweb Obviously. Simply, the layer should be right :-)

via Echofon in reply to Jeff_Vial

@Modulaweb IMHO it’s wrong when theREST” API returns “200 OK” & the responseText.result.success is 400 or something in case of an error.

via Echofon in reply to Jeff_Vial

If your API requires me to do “if (responseText.result.success === 200)”, you’re doing something wrong. Th™s #HTTP, you know?
