I am right now working on a high-traffic project that will run in a sandbox that doesn't allow me to pull third party JavaScript or use canvas/Flash. Yet I need to generate bar charts from a set of data.
The solution to me was to create the charts from HTML using CSS. There have been some solutions for this problem already but I wanted something very simple and easy to maintain. Hence all the markup I am using is

When I talked about some snow related CSS3 experiment, I could not imagine @Natbat was already preparing something like snowflakes, an almost fully CSS3 featured snow FX created for clearleft, specially suited for Chrome and Safari.
And what about @zacharyjohnson? He put snow all over the network via its Winternetizer, the first snow proxy I have ever seen.
Am I missing anybody? ... sure, me!
Above FX is dedicated

Jeremy Ashkenas is experimenting with a new language that translates down to JavaScript. The language is CoffeeScript and I kinda like the syntax.
Jeremy told us:
I've been working on a little language with a Ruby/Potion-esque syntax that compiles into JavaScript. It tries to enforce "the good parts", convert statements into expressions automatically, and adds some extra goodies like array comprehensions and cond

Greg Wilkins tried to get people to do better than WebSocket as it was being defined. His BWTP proposal didn't get traction so what does he do? He introcuces a great Jetty WebSocket implementation:
Chrome and Firefox will soon be supporting WebSocket, so WebSocket (for better or for worse) will soon be available in the wild.
So if you can’t beat them, join them. Having failed to convince others to create a bett

Thomas Fuchs has some new controls and functionality to show us inthis scripty2 preview:

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

The Dojo team announced today the release of Dojo 1.4, the culmination of 9 months of hard work by the crew.
While this release is primarily a stability and performance release, we managed to sneak quite a bit of great new functionality into the various projects. All the significant changes have been outlined in the 1.4 release notes (including migration issues), and are far too numerous to list here: ranging from
