iPhone web apps running as native apps
The browser on the iPhone is capable of using advanced web technologies introduced in HTML5. One of these is the app cache that allows web pages to run on the client, from the cache, without a connection to the internet. Together with Local Storage you can also save data permanently "in" the page. My question is, would it then be possib...

How to resolve opposing interests of optimization vs accessibility?
I've spend a fair amount of time on website optimization (YSlow, Google's Page Speed, etc), and now I'm thinking more and more about improving the accessibility of my websites.

JSON Data - Parsed Or 'Eval'ed

If you got data like below you'd have some problems. { someData:((function() { alert("i'm in ur code hackin' ur page"); })()) } I wondered what do most popular Javascript libraries do? Is it a manual parse or simply an eval...
