Reading Time: 2 minutes A good long while ago, I discovered that contenteditable was a pretty nifty attribute to play with, especially when you get CSS involved. Then I stumbled upon the scoped attribute which you can apply to a <style>block, which isolates styles to a specific container. And then I wrote a jQuery plugin. Well, now it’s gotten

Reading Time: 2 minutes I’m written in the past on how cool contenteditable is, and what the potential usages are. Especially once you mix it with the scoped attribute, you can turn contenteditable into a pretty powerful component of an editing application of some sort. In fact, I have a few applications that I’ve been working on which called

Reading Time: 4 minutes I’ve said before and I’ll say again that contenteditable is one of the coolest attributes you can apply to an element. This lil’ gem originates from Microsoft, of all places, and has been there since IE5.5.  Well, the other browsers caught on a while back, and others, including myself, have demonstrated some cool techniques with

Reading Time: 4 minutes CSS3 offers a ton of brand new ways that you can select elements in ways we’ve never thought of before. Today I want to focus on exclusively the structural pseudo-classes, which are ways of selecting elements based on the document tree. CSS2.1 limited us to :first-child and IE7 and 8 have done a great job since

Reading Time: 3 minutes At Tahzoo, we pretty much shoot for HTML5 websites 100% of the time; the only time the project isn’t HTML5 is if the client explicitly says so. We have a current client whose HTML5 site also required some fun Ajax things like creating an interactive poll and even some email functionality. In order to really

Reading Time: < 1 minute I was getting frustrated on a project with having to test my CSS with different line-lengths of content and whatnot. So I decided to write a little tiny jQuery plugin to help me test out my web pages a bit faster using contenteditable

Reading Time: 3 minutes In an interview with Jacob Gube from Six Revisions on the subject of exciting developments in CSS3, Eric Meyer said  …the power to describe Web 2.0 designs in CSS is insignificant compared with the power to select every third table row starting with the fifth one.  Or being able to select the first paragraph within

Reading Time: 2 minutes Over four months ago, I posted on how to use the HTML5 localstorage API to protect forms. Quite curiously, it was five days before someone else wrote an article on the concept on Smashing Magazine. (I won’t link to it because I’m still a little bitter). Despite my initial bitterness, I’ll admit that Alexandar Kaupanin’s

Reading Time: 4 minutes If there’s something in the HTML5 technology suite whose potential is inversely proportionate to its simplicity, it’s geolocation. The API is very simple and the opportunities haven’t begun to get tapped. My boss over at Tahzoo has a few mind-blowing ideas and he asked me to research the API and prepare a demo to see

Reading Time: 2 minutes My absolute favorite HTML5 attribute is “contenteditable”. It makes the contents of the element editable. It’s an incredibly simple feature that has tons of potential for your website.In fact, I’ve already seen it paired with localStorage or Web SQL APIs to capture data and create browser-side interactivity. Even better, Chris Coyier actually figured out that you
