All, We are looking to use HTML5 Drag 'n drop in our web-application, however, we need precise drop of items, not just a drop in the broad basket. As an example, we will create an icon and the user has to precisely place the icon in the canvas (or SVG) frame. In the background we will record the X Y co-ordinates where the item was plac...
Hi, I'm experimenting with HTML5 geolocation, and would like to improve the accuracy, by assigning the exact GPS coordinate of some custom access points. How can I add these access points, and their exact position to the current database? If I cannot add custom APs to the database, can I view the source code used by Google (and others)...

So, using a HTML 5 compliant video player, (like Video JS) how would one go about loading a video dynamically, without having to reload the entire page? Imagine, a list of links (something like a playlist), and each link points to a video. When clicking the link, I want to load the selected video into player. Currently, I'm using an Ifr...
I am using the "Javascript Fake Click" script to autoplay an introductory HTML5 video on an iPad, which then directs to a landing page. I have a simple "skip intro" link on top of the video element in a higher z-index. This link works in other browsers, but not on the iPad (iOS 3.2.2). I think it may have to do with the click event on ...

I'm trying to add constraining boundaries to the Zooming and Panning behaviors I've implemented for Unveil.js (http://github.com/michael/unveil). With boundaries enabled you shouldn't be able to pan outside the scene boundaries and the zoomlevel (=scale) shouldn't ever become lower than 1.0. As a result you shouldn't be able to pan at al...
diveintohtml5 says it's okay to start using the email form type. So I am trying it out on one of my forms. I'm using jQuery and a plugin called jquery-watermark. It makes the placeholder element work across browsers. The plugin still works on Firefox 3.6 but on Opera 10.61 and Chrome 6 the placeholder isn't rendered. <script type="text...
I'm working on creating an Air Hockey-like game using HTML5 canvas and Javascript. I've gotten pretty far, but detecting the collision of the mallet and the ball has me stumped. I've tried using the distance between the two circles and distance squared (to conserve CPU by bypassing square root). I can't figure out why the collision is no...
So yeah.. firefox 3 isn't compatible with html5 tags. How would one get around this without recoding everything? You know, like IE's conditional statement or some such. ...
I am writing a site that basically looks for places within a 25 mile radius of a lat and long using php and mysql. I am wondering how something like this would work?

I'm building a simple game using a canvas tag and want to add some sound effects to it. If I use the following code to play the SFX... function playSfx( sound ) { var snd = new Audio("file.mp3"); snd.play(); } Is the garbage collection / memory management clever enough to play the sound and then dispose of the Audio object? Or will ...
I'm observing that when using an HTML5 doctype (<!DOCTYPE html>), assigning a string containing HTML entities to a DOM object's innerHTML does not convert/render those entities on IE8 (and probably other IE versions). document.getElementById('some-div').innerHTML = 'Doesn't work.'; Does anybody have a solution? I've come across t...
I'm trying to listen to a live audio stream on a webpage with a latency of less than 3 seconds. So far with ogg vorbis streams generated using ices & icecast, I've been unable to get latencies less than 7 seconds. All players I've used so far (html5 audio tag in Firefox, Opera, Safari; VLC as well) seem to introduce similar delays. It's ...
Let's say I begin an HTML file with the usual DOCTYPE declaration. However, let's also assume that another instance of a DOCTYPE tag is introduced inside the body of that document via some soft of included content (eg. a content template). From my testing this doesn't seem to be a problem. But I was wondering if anyone know of a situa...
