Similar to the foliagometer a while ago, I stumbled across another “fun” feature on a website today.
The random weather generator of devthought.com. Worth checking out for a bit of inspiration.
Built using MooTools rather than jQuery, but I wouldn’t hold that against it 
Devthought — JavaScript, MooTools, PHP, Symfony, WordPress and all the stuff you love.
Google as a company just seem to get it, by introducing (yet) another browser into the wild, they began another round of the browser wars. Kicking off a flurry of innovation, which browser manages to render the acid tests? Who can perform the most javascript calls per milli-second? etc.
All Google seems to care about is that this innovation continues, so that they can build web applications to run on these platforms.
This interview is really worth a read to see the direction of Google and the Chrome browser.
Interview: what’s next for Google Chrome
Always the Google fan boy!
I am definitely a huge fan of jQuery. Every release seems to astound and amaze in it’s sheer brilliance and genius. The new ad spinner on the home page is written in jQuery, as well as the small bit of functionality on the Photography page.
Anyway, go and check out the newest release, mostly a maintenance update, it still has a few new features too! I shall certainly be using jQuery in all future developments!
Extra quick post, just to say that I stumbled across this snippet of Javascript that I think is just absolute genius.
My current project at work is to build a new all singing, all dancing website. Which of course “they” (the business) wants to be compatible with IE6.
Browser sniffing is of course bad practise, but sometimes, there’s no option. Here is a tiny snippet of javascript which only ever returns true if you’re using Internet Explorer, all versions, thats 6, 7 and 8.
