requestAnimationFrame for smart animating If you’ve never written code to animate inside the browser, you can stop reading :) What is requestAnimationFrame? In your animation work, you’ve used a timer loop to make changes every few milliseconds. Good for us: browser vendors have decided, “hey, why don’t we just give you an API for that, because we can probably optimize some things for you.” So it’s basic API for use with animation, whether that be DOM-based styling changes, canvas or WebGL. Why should I use it? The browser can optimize concurrent animations together into a single reflow and repaint cycle, leading to higher fidelity animation. OMG I can brag about having a site with battery-friendly animations? Yeah bro. How should I use this? Note: I am using ‘requestAnimFrame` here because since the spec is still in flux, I don’t want to make a straight polyfill, yet. 2012.01.07: The spec has gotten some fixes and settled down. A robust polyfill I have this polyfill available as a gist as well. Let’s see that in action Is it ready?

However, this section provides a set of suggestions for rendering HTML documents that, if followed, are likely to lead to a user experience that closely resembles the experience intended by the documents' authors. So as to avoid confusion regarding the normativity of this section, RFC2119 terms have not been used. Instead, the term "expected" is used to indicate behavior that will lead to this experience. 10.1 Introduction In general, user agents are expected to support CSS, and many of the suggestions in this section are expressed in CSS terms. In the absence of style-layer rules to the contrary (e.g. author style sheets), user agents are expected to render an element so that it conveys to the user the meaning that the element represents, as described by this specification. An element is being rendered if it has any associated CSS layout boxes, SVG layout boxes, or some equivalent in other styling languages.
HTML5 Boilerplate - A rock-solid default for HTML5 awesome. Tipos de fuentes en css « Don Estándares Holas :) en css se plantea mucho sobre las fuentes, lo ideal… es usarle las propiedades del css para que se vea bonito al usuario, y para nosotros fácil de manejar. El css nos da la flexibilidad de poder darle color, tamaño, grueso y otras propiedades que trataremos de explicarlas, no todas :p por que son demasiadas pero si las mas importantes. Recuerda algo, por el momento no se pueden usar fuentes que el visitante no tenga instaladas, por ejemplo este tipo de letra, es muy bonita y hasta agradable, pero el problema es que si nosotros la instalamos en nuestra pc y trabajamos con css o en html con ese tipo de letra y la subimos a un servidor, esta en NUESTRA PC se va a ver muy bien, el problema es cuando nuestros usuarios abran nuestro sitio web, ellos no verán correctamente por que en la pc del usuario no esta instalada esta fuente. principalmente las fuentes default son: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif Y que pasa si en el sistema operativo (Mi preferido :P Linux! .fuente_titulos{ } Me gusta:
Optimize browser rendering - Make the Web Faster Once resources have been downloaded to the client, the browser still needs to load, interpret, and render HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code. By simply formatting your code and pages in ways that exploit the characteristics of current browsers, you can enhance performance on the client side. Use efficient CSS selectors Overview Avoiding inefficient key selectors that match large numbers of elements can speed up page rendering. Details As the browser parses HTML, it constructs an internal document tree representing all the elements to be displayed. According to this system, the fewer rules the engine has to evaluate the better. The following categories of rules are considered to be inefficient: Rules with descendant selectors For example: Rules with the universal selector as the key body * {...}.hide-scrollbars * {...} Rules with a tag selector as the key ul li a {...} Rules with child or adjacent selectors body > * {...}.hide-scrollbars > * {...} ul > li > a {...} Rules with overly qualified selectors

Pancake Payments | Simple, Easy, Awesome!! JavaScript JavaScript (JS) is a lightweight interpreted (or just-in-time compiled) programming language with first-class functions. While it is most well-known as the scripting language for Web pages, many non-browser environments also use it, such as Node.js, Apache CouchDB and Adobe Acrobat. JavaScript is a prototype-based, garbage-collected, dynamic language, supporting multiple paradigms such as imperative, functional, and object-oriented. JavaScript's dynamic capabilities include runtime object construction, variable parameter lists, function variables, dynamic script creation (via eval), object introspection (via for...in and Object utilities), and source-code recovery (JavaScript functions store their source text and can be retrieved through toString()). This section is dedicated to the JavaScript language itself, and not the parts that are specific to Web pages or other host environments.
