The postMessage API in HTML5 specification is useful for making cross domain calls across frames. This is typically useful for mashups, Web 2.0 sites (e.g., pageflakes.com) where different widgets might need to communicate with each other. Few developers have already started using HTML5 postMessage in their projects, without knowing why they are using. Here are a couple of questions an inquisitive developer might have in mind: How are mashups and rich Web 2.0 applications built even before HTML5 postM... (more)

To serve this purpose "iframe" tag is used, while "frameset" and "frame" which were initially used for navigation are made obsolete in HTML5. This article shows what policies drive the navigation of frames, how older browsers behave and why you should upgrade to modern browsers. ... (more)

posted by novogeeknovogeek 793 days, 16 hours, 55 minutes ago
Saturday, March 19, 2011 4:39:47 AM GMT
A more beautiful web was launched few days back! After several platform previews, beta build, release candidate build, community feedback and rigorous testing, the final (RTM) version of Internet Explorer-9 has hit the market. On the first day of its release (Mar 14, 2011) itself IE9 saw 2.35 million downloads, which is 27 downloads/second! I want the web to win, like many of you and hence want to share my excitement about IE9, which I call as a win for the web :) (more)

Facebook blocked Twitter from looking up for friends, Google fought with Facebook over data protectionism and such wars are wide spread across the web. Probably, there are business constraints which are beyond the scope of discussion, but how does this matter to us, the end users or more specifically, the developers? This article explains why semantic web standards are important to understand for web developers (more)

"Global variables are evil" is what the JavaScript Guru Douglas Crockford says, as they are the source of unreliability and insecurity. How elegant your code would be if you wrap your entire project's code under a single global namespace? In this article, I would like to show how you can create a chainable JavaScript library(not a library exactly, but sort of a toolbox) specific to your project. (more)

In web apps, most of the times, we would require adding and removing controls to a web page dynamically. E.g.,adding "Browse" buttons for email attachments(live mail, gmail etc). In a traditional ASP.NET app, we used to build a string containing markup and append it to some control. However, this requires postback. This article explains how to add/remove markup dynamically using jQuery. (more)
