…was launched yesterday. One of the coolest implementations of canvas around.

It has some interesting stuff in there. For instance :- a global event bus for all events and listeners, a nice little syntax resolver which supports js, html, css currently. Very easy on the eyes, javascript.

They are also going to support VIM syntax per the forums. That’ll be the day!

I’m in.

Peeling the covers off HTML5

without comments

Went back to the HTML5 draft spec after a long while and found some interesting tidbits as usual.

element.click() has been made non-reentrant :- no worries anymore about dumb users clicking buttons again and again.

src attribute in img will be ignored if its the same as the page url :- most browsers used to fire an HTTP request even if the src attribute pointed to the same url as the page url (formally known as the ignored self-reference), duh.

And here’s the beast of a change which introduces script groups. Takes a while to stomach the implications.
