Hi, I have already read the other questions relating to SVG creation using JavaScript and followed any links, but I can't seem to get this to work. Maybe somebody here can spot where I'm going wrong.

Tha...

My question: is there a leg...
Now that there are a couple of neat canvas demo's of both classic platform and even 3D fps games in HTML5, the next step might be to try developing a multiplayer HTML5 game. HTML5 socket support makes this relatively straight-forward, but with client-side source being viewable by anyone in the browser, what are some solutions for basic g...

Are there known issues with range inputs not working fully on Safari? I have the following input element: <input type="range" min="0" max="360" step="0.0001" value="0"> On Chrome, the input goes according to the step variable. On Safari, it only goes by integer values.

It was pretty simple to use JQTouch and Google Data API (via JSONP), so I was able to show the albums and thumbnails in 3 hours, however I want that data to be cached, and for that I'm going to use the HTML 5 Application Cache (via xxx.manifest file). ...
It seems that even if you set the access-control-allow-origin header to allow access from mydomain.org to an image hosted on domain example.org, the canvas' origin-clean flag gets set to false, and trying to manipulate that image's pixel data will trigger a security exception. Shouldn't canvas' obey the access-control-allow-origin heade...
