HTML 5 provides some great new features for web designers who want to code readable, semantically-meaningful layouts. However, support for HTML 5 is still evolving, and Internet Explorer is the last to add support. In this tutorial, we’ll create a common layout using some of HTML 5’s new semantic elements, then use JavaScript and CSS to make our design backwards-compatible with Internet Explorer. Yes, e

Rob Flaherty has done a little experimenting with data URIs and performance. The study only looked at Firefox 3.5 with empty cache, but the results were interesting for the questions they raise as much as the answers the provide.
He used a CSS file with 31 images and converted them all to data URIs using Nick Zakas's CSSEmbed. For an extra variant, he used DURIS to extract the data URIs to a separate CSS file so th

This is where these twenty best practices come in handy.

FAIL toStaticHTML API
What is what I got when I pointed a Chrome dev channel build at the new security tests on BrowserScope. Collin Jackson and Adam Barth have written up the test suites.
Steve is excited to see this:
The new security tests in Browserscope were developed by Adam Barth from UC Berkeley, and Collin Jackson and Mustafa Acer from Carnegie Mellon University. It’s exciting to have these experts be

Sputniktests web runner is a web based porting of the Sputniktests ECMA-262 conformance test suite made by Google.
The aim of this test suite is to understand how compliant is a browser engine and the work @kangax has done in this post is, as usual, complete and loads of analysis about the test suite itself, and provided results.
So how do modern and not so modern browsers stand against standard? Here’s a compar

It’s amazing to see version four of a browser which has only been available for a little over a year. Compare that to Firefox, which took over six years to reach 3.6. Perhaps it’s just super smart marketing, or perhaps Chrome is putting an enormous amount of energy into the browser wars.
We’ve improved performance scores on Google Chrome by 30% since our current stable release, as measured
