Special Characters for HTML, CSS and JS My name is Neal Chester and I'm a web developer and consultant. Sometimes I use special characters as an alternative to images; many of these characters I never knew existed. When I surfed the Web, I always ran into 3 problems with character listings: They contained tons of characters I didn't useThere was no one list that brought together all the characters I neededThe fonts were too small and the page was difficult to use So I made my own listing page containing the best HTML characters I felt would be useful to everyone, especially web developers. Rendering Characters As you'll notice, some characters will render differently depending on the browser. Depending on the browser, some characters won't display. Therefore, it's important to view the characters in different browsers and mobile devices to determine if you want to use that character. First of all, make sure you're using the correct unicode. AddDefaultCharset utf-8 AddCharset utf-8 .html .css .js .xml .json .rss .atom

Backbone.js, now realtime with Pusher - Realtime Blog This tutorial was written by Micheil Smith Recently there have been a number of frameworks developed that allow you to add extra structure to your code when building rich javascript-heavy applications. These frameworks often achieve this structure by adding in layers of Models, Controllers, Views, and Events, most of the time performing synchronisation between the client and server using AJAX. One such framework that has recently grown in popularity is Backbone.js. Update: The code associated with this post has been updated to use Backbone.js 0.5.3 and Underscore.js 1.2.1 Backbone.js Backbone.js is a framework from DocumentCloud, which is known for it’s excellent documentation. Normally when using Backbone.js, you would have to implement your own timer and polling mechanism to check for changes on the server. // Poll every 10 seconds to keep the channel model up-to-date. setInterval(function() { channel.fetch(); }, 10000); Making Backbone.js realtime with Pusher ruby – items_controller.rb
Créer une police d’icônes facilement à partir d’illustrations vectorielles Les polices d'icônes ou "font-icon" popularisées depuis Bootstrap sont de plus en plus utilisées sur le web. Certains services proposent de piocher des icônes dans différents packs pour se créer sa propre "police". Dans ce petit tutoriel nous verrons comment, grâce au service en ligne IcoMoon, il est facile de se créer sa propre police d'icônes à partir d'illustrations et fichiers vectoriels. Une fonte-icône est tout simplement une police d’écriture dont on aura remplacé certains caractères par des glyphes représentant les icônes que l’on veut utiliser. Outre leur flexibilité elles permettent un gain de performance puisqu’il suffit de charger une police (un fichier) pour avoir accès à un nombre important de caractères. Voir une petite démonstration en ligne : Icon Font are Awesome. Le placement de l’icône se fait généralement grâce à une balise <i> ou <span> (inoffensive par défaut) qui va utiliser en classe le nom de l’icône que le souhaite afficher. ou...

Badass JavaScript Jonathan T. Neal | Understand the Favicon When Alec Rust asked the HTML5 Boilerplate project to switch to a HiDPI favicon, I realized how little I knew about favorite icons, touch icons, and tile icons. When I decided to dive in a little deeper, things got interesting. The classic favicon.ico is a 16×16 ICO file, often served in either 16-color or 24bit alpha-transparency format. More recently, favicons have been served as 32×32, which is appropriately scaled down in all major and popular-legacy browsers. In IE10 Metro, the 32×32 icon is used in the address bar. The rel attribute of a favicon is a product of evolution. The type attribute of a favicon is about as useful as the type attribute of a <script>. Good news, everyone! Bad news, everyone! This really depresses me, because Chrome, Firefox, Opera 7+, and Safari 4+ all accept the PNG favicon, but Chrome and Safari will opt to use the ICO favicon when both are presented, regardless of the order in which they are declared. And that’s just the beginning. One. You.

Extending Twitter Bootstrap Typeahead Plugin | redlab-log Update: also read this post In twitter bootstrap there is a JQuery plugin for auto completion. It’s called bootstrap-typeahaed. Typeahead uses an array of strings as datasource and is easily activated with in it’s simplest form 1 line of code. It’s very easy to use but somewhat limited. Our use case: 2 inputboxes, one for postal code (the numeric form) and one inputbox for the community that has that postal code.In Belgium different communities can have the same postal code, and the right community should be selected on selecting a postal code. The typeahead plugin is not suited for that. We wanted to use typeahead instead of any other existing JQuery plugin since we’re already using twitter bootstrap. To achieve this I extended, (actually more copied and altered) typeahead.
