The goal of any great website is to provide quality content for its readers and clients, though no website can be truly successful if it cannot provide the content in a timely manner. How much time is acceptable isn’t always up to you though. It’s in the eyes of the beholder, hence the readers.

If you have a flash based website that is media heavy, and your users knows is, they will probably be ok waiting a minute or two while your page loads. Though, if on the other hand you have a mostly text based website and it takes two minutes to load, there is 99.99% chance the person will not wait. These days, people want information and websites to be practically instantaneous.

You’ve probably heard a lot about the new HTML5 canvas element. As the name implies, this is a special element that allows us to create and modify graphics. In addition, we can also use it like any other element on the page – apply jQuery animations on it, listen for events and integrate it deeply into our layouts.

Najpopularniejszym serwisem dostarczającym mapy w Internecie jest Google Maps. Nie oznacza to, że konkurencja pogodziła się z porażką na tym polu. Jedną z ciekawszych alternatyw dla Google Maps jest Bing Maps. Oprócz API dostępnego w języku Javascript programiści mogą korzystać z Silverlighta oraz usług sieciowych. Co więcej, programiści PHP również mają możliwość korzystania z map Bing. Gdyby nie jeden drobny szkopuł, Google mogłoby poważnie obawiać się konkurencji ze strony Bing Maps. Niestety mapy w wydaniu Bing nie są zlokalizowane na polski rynek i wyszukanie adresu lub trasy dojazdu graniczy z cudem.

HTML5 Elements

The table below shows the 104 elements currently in the HTML5 working draft and two proposed elements (marked with an asterisk).

The CSS2.1 spec introduced a new technique allowing developers to combine three CSS properties and a pseudo-element to create auto-incrementing counters — similar to what is displayed in an ordered list.

While counters for lists are limited to <ol> or <ul> elements and only with simple incrementation, the new counter method introduced in CSS2.1 allows for integers to be prepended to any set of elements, and is quite flexible.

This technique is a bit confusing because it uses multiple CSS properties, and looks different than most CSS code. I hope to clarify how it’s used and I’ll run down some possible ways it can be implemented, along with some benefits and drawbacks.

The HTML5 <video> element is already supported by most modern browsers, and even IE has support announced for version 9. There are many advantages of having video embedded natively in the browser (covered in the article Introduction to HTML5 video by Bruce Lawson), so many developers are trying to use it as soon as possible. There are a couple of barriers to this that remain, most notably the problem of which codecs are supported in each browser, with a disagreement between Opera/Firefox and IE/Safari. That might not be a problem for much longer though, with Google recently releasing the VP8 codec, and the WebM project coming into existence. Opera, Firefox, Chrome and IE9 all have support in final builds, developer builds, or at least support announced for this format, and Flash will be able to play VP8. This means that we will soon be able to create a single version of the video that will play in the <video> element in most browsers, and the Flash Player in those that don't support WebM natively.
