Modernizr
www.modernizr.com, v1.7
A lightweight JavaScript Library for implementingProgressive Enhancement
Simple to Use
Thursday, March 17, 2011
Modernizr

Using ModernizrLeverage What You Know
JavaScript
(function() { if(Modernizr.borderradius) { // enhance } else { // gracefully degrade }})();
CSS
.borderradius div aside { // enhance}.no-borderradius div aside { // gracefully degrade}
Thursday, March 17, 2011
New Semantic Elements
header, footer, nav, section, article, aside, meter, progress
Arising from popularity of weblogs (Wordpress?)
Thursday, March 17, 2011
Semantics and IE
New Semantics not supported in IE 7 & 8
Add support
<!--[if lt IE 9]><script type="text/javascript"> document.createElement("nav"); …<![endif]>

Web Sockets
Think "Stateful Connection to Remote Server"
No polling
Implementation and Security Concerns
Separate Specificationwww.w3.org/TR/websockets/
Thursday, March 17, 2011
Storage APIslocalStorage
persistent after browser session!
personal data?
(function() { if(Modernizr.localStorage || window.localStorage) { window.localStorage.setItem(name, value); window.localStorage.getItem(name); } else { // gracefully degrade }})();
sessionStorage
Similar API to localStorage
not persistent across session (browser close)
Thursday, March 17, 2011
Web Workers
Think "multithreaded scripting engine"
Separate specification in WHATWG/W3C
Uses a messaging event API
postMessage
onMessage
