    javascript browser-detection 2014-2-16 21:38:36
    Feature detection is generally preferred over browser sniffing. What should I do in a case where certain browsers “support” the features I’m using but have javascript runtimes that are too slow?I’m using the d3 library for some complicated visualizations. The visualization is very smooth in chrome / firefox, acceptable in IE9, and slow yet working in IE8. I’d like to display a banner to IE8 users telling them to upgrade and a notice banner to IE9 users that it would be faster in chrome or FF. Is

    I’m trying to debug a webpage that makes heavy use of JavaScript events, and so I need to monitor all JavaScript events that are fired.Most of the events are bound using jQuery. Hence, it would be particularly useful if there was a way to specifically monitor only those events.

    javascript angularjs 2014-2-16 20:24:46
    Quote from one of the comments regarding ngCloak directive (AngularJS documentation):It is only really needed on your “index.html” page, because thebrowser may try to render things before Angular has had a chance toparse/compile it. At runtime, when Angular pulls in content due tong-view, ng-include, etc., it will be processed by Angular before thebrowser renders.I created a example in jsFiddle to verify this and on my surprise the expression is not evaluated before it is rendered in the browser

    javascript file-upload thumbnails filepath plupload 2014-2-16 19:01:23
    I am using plupload to let users upload images. But I also want to generate thumbnails for preview before they finally decide to keep it. I understand currently “Image preview” feature is not present in plupload. So to work around this I decided to submit a new form containing just one file for each image added, & let the server process it & return a thumbnail.Now my question is how do I get the handle on the file object from the plupload so that I can create an “input” file field dynami

    I am new to Windows 8 app development and professional C# dev. I have run into a problem where a client wants me to interface with a printer (DYMO 450 Turbo) and the SDK only comes with a dll that has been compiled using .net 4.0 . The samples show referencing the dll from the app which I can not do because the app is written in Javascript using WinJS. The metro apps use NETCore where the dll uses NETFramework. My best solution so far is to write the code to interface with the printer as a serve

    I have a list of books and I want to store data against each book e.g. Price, Quantity, id, catergory id, size, weight etc.I was looking at storing all this in the dom by extending the li elements representing each book in the list using data- attributes. This data could then be utilised directly with javascript.However I have read that accessing data- attributes is slow in a performance sense.

    There are multiple js files and now I have to combine them into a large file.However, since these files are familiar in function, they have many variables with the same name. So I’m wondering if there is any mechanism like namespace or scoping that can incorperate multiple variables with the same name in a file.EditAnd additional question:How can I access the variabls in “ad-hoc” functions via Chrome Console?Normally I can do this in Chrome Console:[js] var car = “Model T”;[Chrome Console] >&

    Java is one of the best managed runtime technologies we have. It has very high performance VM which allows to achieve performance close to C. The amount of high quality open source libraries is incomparable to any other platform. However, despite it was the first dynamic client side technology to appear in browsers (Applets), it isn’t used widely now. What are disadvantages of Java which make people use JavaScript + HTML5 or Flash/Flex instead of Java for RIA? Why should I use them despite they

    javascript qt html5 canvas 2014-2-14 9:19:08
    With the beginning of widespread HTML5 support and Canvas support, it seems that someone could create a desktop-esque windowing system library for RIAs. Something similar to Qt or WxWidgets. All the required parts seem to be there (runtime language: javascript, pixel drawing: canvas, even vector drawing with SVGs).This seems to me anyway that it could be a huge leap for the ease of development of RIAs. Forget about classic HTML and styling, and simply create widgets like you would in a deskto

I know this page but I don’t want to use native code.

    javascript css html5 cross-browser 2014-2-13 3:14:43
    When CSS and JS got popular, the big frustration was that every browser implemented it differently and only a limited set of “cool stuff” worked across browsers, or worked differently.Now we’re making HTML5 popular, so it seems like we’re about to embark on the CSS/JS incompatibility journey all over again, but now in a 3D, animated, and video-playing style.My question is this – are the big browsers varying HTML5 implementations in such a way that we’re headed down the same path again? Is there

Unfortunately it is crashing a very few times (like twice a day) and the crashes are non-repeatable. Now i am trying to ensure it will get restarted after crash. So i wrote a batch script which checks if chrome is running and will restart the app if it’s not.My problem is that if the app crashes it will become deactivated on chrome, so when the shortcut gets called, it only opens a brows
