  2. My Biggest Mistake

  4. MediaElement.js

    A HTML5 <video> player and <audio> player with Flash and Silverlight shims.

    Instead of offering an HTML5 player to modern browsers and a totally separate Flash player to older browsers, MediaElement.js upgrades them with custom Flash and Silverlight plugins that mimic the HTML5 MediaElement API.

  5. Pretenders: Why mobile Web apps should stop trying to act like native apps

    If you’re making a Web app, don’t pretend to be something you’re not. If you do, your users will notice right away and it will turn them off. Besides, it’s a lot of work doing all that pretending. It’s far easier to embrace the Web’s constraints and capabilities and doing so will result in a much better product.

  6. Custom <select> drop downs with CSS3

    The pointer-events property allows authors to control whether or when an element may be the target of user pointing device (pointer, e.g. mouse) events. This property is used to specify under which circumstance (if any) a pointer event should go “through” an element and target whatever is “underneath” that element instead. This also applies to other “hit testing” behaviors such as dynamic pseudo-classes (:hover, :active, :focus), hyperlinks, and Document.elementFromPoint().

  9. The difference between a Trend and a Shift

    Just as Web Standards was a shift in how we create websites, Responsive Web Design is part of another shift. It may be a little trendy at the moment, as people grapple with how to use it, but quickly – together with other things like Content Strategy, and the One Web, and Mobile First etc. – it will become another tool in this shift to a better, ‘Content Out’ web.
