Html5 cross browser polyfills - Modernizr - GitHub The No-Nonsense Guide to HTML5 Fallbacks So here we're collecting all the shims, fallbacks, and polyfills in order to implant HTML5 functionality in browsers that don't natively support them. The general idea is that: We, as developers, should be able to develop with the HTML5 APIs, and scripts can create the methods and objects that should exist. Looking to conditionally load these scripts (client-side), based on feature detects? svgweb by Brad Neuberg & others Fallback via FlashSnap.SVG from scratch by the author of Raphaël (Dmitry Baranovskiy) Abstracted API.

20 JavaScript Frameworks Worth Checking Out | Nettuts+ The number of web applications being created and used has grown rapidly since the new millenium. And importantly, so has the sheer complexity of them -- specially on the front end. No more static pages, no sir! You have a ton of sections each interacting with each other and the server and yes, it's as complicated as it sounds and just as hard to pull off. Today, I'd like to talk about a few choice JavaScript frameworks that aim to simplify front-end application development. If you think jQuery is the answer, you lose a cookie and get an F grade! Creating responsive, fluid, and maintainable interfaces for web apps isn't as easy as one would imagine -- there is data to be sent back to the server and the results parsed, data stores to be updated, views to be re-rendered and so much else that needs to be done in the background. Sure, a few of these may be a little old but their code bases have lots of lessons to teach. Related links: Introduction to Sammy.js Github Repo Google Code
When can I use... Support tables for HTML5, CSS3, etc scottjehl/Respond JPEGs with Alpha Channels?!? | jackadamblog Posted on by Jack Turner I wanted a reasonably sized photographic image with a 24-bit alpha channel. So I used a JPEG for what JPEGs are good for and a PNG for what PNGs are good for... I combined them using an HTML5 canvas element and then inserted into the DOM. On a recent project I did this using jQuery and scanning the CSS for background-images, but this could easily be achieved without any special CSS using valid HTML5 syntax by referring to a normal JPEG throug the src of an img element and adding a new data-alpha-src attribute with the URL of a 24-bit PNG that is just a mask. This little demo works in the newest versions of Firefox, Chrome, and Safari (including Safari for iOS). Recently we’ve taken on two different projects that involve lots of large sprites being animated around landscapes. Here is the JavaScript code from the demo: ;(function() { var create_alpha_jpeg = function(img) { var alpha_path = img.getAttribute('data-alpha-src') if(!
Stellar.js - Documentation Getting Started Stellar.js is a jQuery plugin that provides parallax scrolling effects to any scrolling element. The first step is to run .stellar() against the element: // For example: $(window).stellar();// or: $('#main').stellar(); If you're running Stellar.js on 'window', you can use the shorthand: $.stellar(); This will look for any parallax backgrounds or elements within the specified element and reposition them when the element scrolls. Mobile Support Support in Mobile WebKit browsers requires a touch scrolling library, and a slightly tweaked configuration. Please note that parallax backgrounds are not recommended in Mobile WebKit, only parallax elements. Parallax Elements If you want elements to scroll at a different speed, add the following attribute to any element with a CSS position of absolute, relative or fixed: If a ratio lower than 1 is causing the element to appear jittery, try setting its CSS position to fixed.

It requires special skills, as well as special coding tools, and then there is also the need to build an app per platform (Android, iOs, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, etc). All of this figures in to a higher price tag for the app development. The jQuery framework has been around the web for a while now, but the jQuery base technology was basically designed for browser apps. jQuery Mobile is a framework based on jQuery that enables web designers to create web-apps that are optimized for use on a mobile device (Smartphone and tablets). In this jQuery Mobile tutorial, we will create a nice demo app from scratch, to show some of the things that can be easily done using this powerful tool.
