Introduction to JavaScript Source Maps - HTML5 Rocks Have you ever found yourself wishing you could keep your client-side code readable and more importantly debuggable even after you've combined and minified it, without impacting performance? Well now you can through the magic of source maps. Basically it's a way to map a combined/minified file back to an unbuilt state. When you build for production, along with minifying and combining your JavaScript files, you generate a source map which holds information about your original files. When you query a certain line and column number in your generated JavaScript you can do a lookup in the source map which returns the original location. Developer tools (currently WebKit nightly builds, Google Chrome, or Firefox 23+) can parse the source map automatically and make it appear as though you're running unminified and uncombined files. Demo: Get original location The above demo allows you to right click anywhere in the textarea containing the generated source. Real world So... Potential XSSI issues

The CSS gallery for awesome websites only Während man früher gesagt hat "Hauptsache du hast eine Webseite", muss heute ganz klar gesagt werden, dass eine Webseite alleine nicht mehr reicht. Eine moderne Webseite muss viel mehr können als schön auszusehen. Sie soll Besucher zu Kunden konvertieren und obendrein noch selbst für alle relevanten Suchbegriffe, die für Sie und Ihr Unternehmen relevant sind, möglichst weit vorne in den Suchergebnissen bei Google & Co. gefunden werden. Damit kommen mehr Besucher auf Ihre Webseite und mehr Besucher heißt mehr potentielle neue Kunden. Oder noch direkter: Was nützt die schönste Webseite wenn sie nicht gefunden wird? Richtig – Nichts. Kurz und knapp - ohne Suchmaschinenoptimierung (SEO) geht heute nicht mehr viel. Längst gehört Google, bezahlter Traffic (wie Google Adwords oder Facebook PPC) mal ausgenommen, zu den wichtigsten Trafficquellen für neue Besucher auf der eigenen Seite. Wir arbeiten zu 99% digital und können somit Kunden auf der ganzen Welt betreuen.

Credit for Chrome workaround goes to Chris Coyier from CSS-tricks.com Credit for Firefox workaround goes to João Cunha who posted this on stackoverflow On Chrome:

45 Examples of Websites Designed with HTML5 HTML5 language has replaced the HTML4 that had been used to modify the website design over the past years. The failing of the HTML4 was it didn’t have the features of multimedia integration and the animations. Thus, the HTML5 have come up with the latest and advanced features and it works only in the latest versions such as Opera or Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer. Additionally, it also functions in the mobiles like Blackberry, Android based phones and iPhone. Particularly, the HTML has many syntactical features that are very easy to handle the graphical or the multimedia content on the web. Thus, most of the web designers and developers are using the HTML5 language to develop their websites. The HTML5 allows the websites to load faster and also the connections will be very smooth with any third party platforms or mobiles or with any other websites when compared to the previous versions of language.

Please Stop Using Local Storage Seriously. Just stop it already. I don’t know what it is, exactly, that drives so many developers to store session information in local storage, but whatever the reason: the practice needs to die out. Things are getting completely out of hand. Almost every day I stumble across a new website storing sensitive user information in local storage and it bothers me to know that so many developers are opening themselves up to catastrophic security issues by doing so. Let’s have a heart-to-heart and talk about local storage and why you should stop using it to store session data. What is Local Storage? I’m sorry if I was a bit grumpy earlier. Let’s start with the basics: local storage is a new feature of HTML5 that basically allows you (a web developer) to store any information you want in your user’s browser using JavaScript. In practice, local storage is just one big old JavaScript object that you can attach data to (or remove data from). What’s Cool About Local Storage? OK. Sensitive Data
