    I realised (when looking myself) that there are a lot of demos and tutorials that show you how to drag-and-drop a file into the browser and then render it on the page. They're often labelled as "drag-and-drop and upload", but they actually don't upload. This tutorial will take you that final step. I'll walk you through an example that you can play with: drag a file into the web page, and it'll be uploaded to the server instantly. Tasks # Let's break this process down into specific tasks: Capture the drop event and read its data. Post that binary data to the server. Provide feedback on the…

  • HTML5 adaptive images: end of round one.

    Bruce Lawson
    16 May 2012 | 5:36 am
    After The Great Vendor Prefix Hullaballoo of April 2012 comes The Great Responsive Images Brouhaha of May 2012. Adaptive images are the next unsolved mystery of Responsive Web Design. Do you send large high-res images suitable for retina dispays, which are scaled down on smaller, lower res devices and which therefore waste bandwidth? Or do you send low-res images, whch look grotty when scaled up to large screens or high-res displays? Authors have had to rely on elaborate hacks to send different content images (that is <img> in HTML rather than CSS background images) to different types…

  • HTML5 Audio — The State of Play

    Mark Boas
    8 May 2012 | 9:00 am
    This is a follow up to my 2009 article Native Audio in the Browser, which covers the basics of HTML5 audio. It may well be worth reading if you want to get a feel for the <audio> element and associated API. Now, two and a half years later, it’s time to see how things are progressing. With many new advanced audio APIs being actively worked on and plenty of improvements to the existing native audio we all know and love, it’s certainly an exciting time to revisit the heady world of <audio>. A good way of understanding how the land lies is by going through a few use cases.

  • Let’s Talk about Semantics

    18 Apr 2012 | 11:51 am
    It’s time we had “the talk”. I could get you a book or recommend some sites from Dr Mike’s special bookmarks folder, but the best way to make sure you get the right idea is to do it myself. I’m talking about HTML semantics. Understanding the thinking behind the naming of elements will help your markup shine. Semantics and the Web # Semantics are the implied meaning of a subject, like a word or sentence. It aids how humans (and these days, machines) interpret subject matter. On the web, HTML serves both humans and machines, suggesting the purpose of the content…

  • Using Modernizr to detect HTML5 features and provide fallbacks

    Tom Leadbetter
    27 Mar 2012 | 8:30 am
    Modernizr is a JavaScript library that detects which HTML5 and CSS3 features your visitor’s browser supports. In detecting feature support, it allows developers to test for some of the new technologies and then provide fallbacks for browsers that do not support them. This is called feature detection and is much more efficient than browser sniffing. Modernizr is very useful for detecting CSS3 support, but this article will focus on HTML5. The principles are essentially the same, though. It’s important to note that Modernizr doesn’t “fill in the gaps” (i.e.,…

    Personal website of interaction designer, Terjin.Copious use of the new HTML5 structural element, although the section element has been overused, with our old friend the div being more appropriate in certain places.

    A collecting house for entirely useful things.This site makes clean use of many of the HTML5 structural elements such as nav, header, section, article and footer. The section element with the contentcontainer class should be a div, as it currently has no heading and is being used for styling purposes only. Each gallery item is an article, which works well. The data- attributes are also used to provide custom data throughout the site.URL: http://pushkin-plyushkin.com/en

  • Edgar Leijs

    11 Apr 2012 | 4:05 pm
    Edgar Leijs is a web designer and web editor from Amsterdam.It’s nice to see Edgar’s portfolio items marked up using the article element rather than div or li, both of which are very common. The article is much more semantic and Edgar shows a good understanding of when it can be used.Edgar’s use of the header element is unnecessary when it’s only content is a heading, but it’s not wrong by any means. Similarly the nested section in the portfolio items would probably be better as a div, or else given a heading.URL: http://www.edgarleijs.com/

  • Why Publishers Don’t Like Apps

    Andrew Davis
    8 May 2012 | 9:21 am
    “The recent history of the Financial Times is instructive. Last June, the company pulled its iPad and iPhone app from iTunes and launched a new version of its website written in HTML5, which can optimize the site for the device a reader is using and provide many features and functions that are applike. For a few months, the FT continued to support the app, but on May 1 the paper chose to kill it altogether.” Publishers are moving away from distributing their content in App form because Apps cannot contain the entire web ecosystem of hyperlinks and social news sharing.  Publishers…

  • Responsive Web Design

    10 May 2012 | 8:14 pm
    It all started with "Responsive Web Design", an article by Ethan Marcotte on A List Apart. Essentially, the article proposed addressing the ever-changing landscape of devices, browsers, screen sizes and orientations by creating flexible, fluid and adaptive Web sites. Instead of responding to today’s needs for a desktop, Web version adapted to the most common screen resolution, along with a particular mobile version (often specific to a single mobile device), the idea is to approach the issue the other way around: use flexible and fluid layouts that adapt to almost any screen.

  • Display Images in Black & White Using the HTML5 Canvas

    7 May 2012 | 6:16 pm
    The HTML5 canvas is a bitmap element for rendering graphics, drawings, and images on the fly using JavaScript. The canvas 2D API contains an arsenal of functions that give you the ability to draw pretty much anything you like on the canvas and there is a lot to be said about black & white photography. It can capture images in a way that color simply can't. If you want to display images in black and white, but don't want to mess with your original color photos, then this is the ideal way to go about it. Read on!

  • Calling Parent Methods in JavaScript

    3 May 2012 | 7:07 pm
    One of the big differences between Classical (Object-Oriented) and Prototypal inheritance is that the former has an elegant mechanism for referring to the parent using the super keyword. It's often used in constructors to initialize the parent class with the supplied input parameters. Another common usage is to extend parent functionality in the child class. In today's article we'll establish how to accomplish the same thing in JavaScript.
