Safari Web Content Guide: Configuring the Viewport
Safari on iOS displays webpages at a scale that works for most web content originally designed for the desktop. If these default settings don’t work for your webpages, it is highly recommended that you change the settings by configuring the viewport. You especially need to configure the viewport if you are designing webpages specifically for iOS. If you are already familiar with the viewport on iOS, read “Using the Viewport Meta Tag” for details on the viewport tag and “Viewport Settings for Web Applications” for web application tips. Read “Layout and Metrics on iPhone and iPod touch” to learn about the available screen space for webpages on small devices.Read “What Is the Viewport?” See “Supported Meta Tags” for a complete description of the viewport meta tag. Layout and Metrics on iPhone and iPod touch Because Safari on iOS adds controls above and below your web content, you don’t have access to the entire screen real estate. What Is the Viewport?

All I needed was a series of nested block-level elements each rotated by a slightly different amount. The rotation would distribute the box corners around the circumference of the star. To start with I created a 16 pointed star by using three nested span elements inside a link. NEWCSS3Starbursts! The above starburst will only work in browsers that support the CSS3 rotation property, currently that's Safari, Firefox, and Google Chrome. Here is the HTML code. <a href="#" class="starburst"><span><span><span><br />NEW<br />CSS3<br />Starbursts! The CSS is a little bit longer.

About these CSS3 Starbursts: No CSS Hacks There are no CSS hacks required for these CSS3 starbursts.

jQuery Templates and Data Linking (and Microsoft contributing to jQuery)
The jQuery library has a passionate community of developers, and it is now the most widely used JavaScript library on the web today. Two years ago I announced that Microsoft would begin offering product support for jQuery, and that we’d be including it in new versions of Visual Studio going forward. By default, when you create new ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC projects with VS 2010 you’ll find jQuery automatically added to your project. A few weeks ago during my second keynote at the MIX 2010 conference I announced that Microsoft would also begin contributing to the jQuery project. In this blog post, I’m going to talk a little about how my team is starting to contribute to the jQuery project, and discuss some of the specific features that we are working on such as client-side templating and data linking (data-binding). Contributing to jQuery jQuery has a fantastic developer community, and a very open way to propose suggestions and make contributions. jQuery Template Support Converters
