CSS3 background gradient animation in a progress bar like in Windows 7
You can create a responsive, animated progress bars like in Windows 7 using pure CSS3. I haven't used any image in this tutorial. Resize your browser window to see the responsiveness.

JQuery or JavaScript tricks for mobile devices like – Android, Windows, BlackBerry, Apple, iphone, ipad
JavaScript support is very good on modern mobile browsers. The mobile version of Firefox and Chrome provide pretty much desktop-level support for HTML5(CSS 3 + JavaScript + HTML 5 ) features. Most mobile phones are running some version of WebKit (what Chrome runs on), so you're pretty much guaranteed better support than IE8 provides if you're developing for mobile. Detecting Mobile Devices Instead of using jQuery you can use simple JavaScript to detect it: if( /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera () ) { // some code for mobile } or you can combine them both to make it more accessible through jQuery. $. =…

Find Location With HTML5 Geolocation API
The Geolocation API is a new technology that’s introduced by W3C – the same organization behind HTML5. Probably for that reason, it is often correlated and grouped with HTML5 in many books and references, although it has actually nothing to do with HTML5 technically. In this post, we are going to use the API in its simplest form; we will create a set of functions to retrieve user’s location and show it in map with Google Maps. Let’s take a look.

Creating a CSS Game – Tic-Tac-Toe
One year ago, I had posted a puzzle game called “Doraemon Puzzle”. It was developed with the help of most powerful JavaScript library jQuery. Now, I have developed a game using CSS only. Have you remembered a favorite game which we always played in school/collage days? Yes this is "Tic-Tac-Toe". My version works as any normal Tic-tac-toe game would: 2 players can play against each other, it can result in either a win or a tie. Players can also restart the game. HTML <div class="tic-tac-toe"> <input id="block1-1-1" type="radio" class="player-1 left first-column top first-row first-diagonal turn-1"/> <label for="block1-1-1" class="turn-1"></label> <input id="block1-1-2" type="radio"…
