Nicholas C. blogs at: CSS media queries in JavaScript, Part 2 January 19 2012 In my previous post[1], I introduced using CSS media queries in JavaScript both through a custom implementation and using the CSSOM Views matchMedia() method. Media queries are incredibly useful, both in CSS and JavaScript, and so I continued with my research to see how best to take advantage of this… read moreJanuary 17 2012 I’m not really sure what I was expecting from The Tangled Web: A Guide to Securing Modern Web Applications. Having learned more about web security in the past year, I suppose I was hoping for a more in-depth treatment of common web application security issues. In my mind, I pictured… read moreNow available: Professional JavaScript, 3rd Edition January 09 2012 I’m very excited to announce that Professional JavaScript for Web Developers, 3rd Edition is now shipping and available in bookstores. Over six years, the first edition was released and it changed my life in ways I never could have anticipated. It was through this book that I ended up at… read moreJanuary 05 2012 A new version of CSS Lint is now available both on csslint.net and through npm for NodeJS. Version 0.9.2 focused on improving validation support (full support is planned for v1.0.0) and stability. As part of that, 0.9.1 and 0.9.2 were quickly rolled out after 0.9.0 to address some flaws in… read moreProposal: Scripting detection using CSS media queries January 04 2012 I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about CSS media queries lately. I’m a big fan of media queries, as I think they bring a sense of sanity to feature detection. That’s a big reason why I was investigating CSS media queries in JavaScript[1] and will continue to do so.… read moreCSS media queries in JavaScript, Part 1 January 03 2012 Early in 2011, I was working on a project where I was doing some feature detection in JavaScript. Some tinkering led to the thought that using a CSS media query would work much better and so I spent some time coming up with a function to use CSS media queries… read moreDecember 20 2011 One of my principles of Maintainable JavaScript[1] is to separate your configuration data from your application logic. Configuration data is hardcoded information that your JavaScript uses to work properly. This could be anything such as a URL or a UI string. For example: function validate(value) { if (!value) { alert("Invalid… read moreDecember 16 2011 It had been a while since I’d read a book that didn’t have to do with JavaScript or something very computer-sciency, so when I was asked to review HTML & CSS: Design and Build Websites by Jon Duckett, I was interested to see how these books have changed. I learned HTML… read moreDecember 14 2011 Timer resolution refers to how frequently a clock is updated. For most of their history, web browsers used the default system timer for functionality such as setTimeout() and setInterval(). This meant browsers could only schedule code to run as frequently as the system timer would fire. Internet Explorer also used the system… read moreHow content delivery networks (CDNs) work November 29 2011 Content delivery networks (CDNs) are an important part of Internet infrastructure that are frequently used without a full understanding of what’s happening behind the scenes.
