Cavas Links

Das .net Magazine erklärt wie man einen Page Flip Effect mit Canvas nachbaut.

This tutorial will take you through the process of creating your own page flip effect using the canvas element and plenty of JavaScript. Some of the rudimentary code, such as variable declarations and event listener subscription, has been left out of the snippets in this article, so remember to reference the tutorials files for the complete code.

Der Effekt ist nett, aber ich finde immer noch, dass man dafür zuviel Code schreiben muss. Trotzdem noch ein Canvas Link: Paper.js.

Paper.js is an open source vector graphics scripting framework that runs on top of the HTML5 Canvas. It offers a clean Scene Graph / Document Object Model and a lot of powerful functionality to create and work with vector graphics and bezier curves, all neatly wrapped up in a well designed, consistent and clean programming interface.

HTML5 Cross Browser Polyfills

Eine Polyfill Übersicht von Paul Irish gibt es im Modernizr Wiki.

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. Developing in this future-proof way means as users upgrade, your code doesn’t have to change but users will move to the better, native experience cleanly.

Indeterminate Checkboxes

Ach wie spannend es gibt einen Indeterminate Zustand bei Checkboxen:

You can’t make a checkbox indeterminate through HTML. There is no indeterminate attribute. It is a property of checkboxes though, which you can change via JavaScript.

$("#some-checkbox").prop("indeterminate", true); // prop is jQuery 1.6+

The indeterminate state is visual only. The checkbox is still either checked or unchecked as a value and will submit that value to the form it is a part of.

VisualSearch.js

Schicke UI für faceted search:

VisualSearch.js enhances ordinary search boxes with the ability to autocomplete faceted search queries. Specify the facets for completion, along with the completable values for any facet. You can retrieve the search query as a structured object, so you don’t have to parse the query string yourself.
