JavaScript Airt Redirect a Web browser with JavaScript
Three scripts that shows the different ways of airting a Web browser with JavaScript. They are useful for diverting traffic from an old location if a Web page or site needs to be affected to a new location. You can pick out from three methods.
Script #1 – Stealth Redirect
This allows you to airt a page without telling your visitor, they probably won’t even notice it happen.
Script #2 – Alert Redirect
If you want visitors to know that the page has been affected you could use this script.
Script #3 – Confirm Redirect
If you want to give your visitors more control, you can use a confirm dialog.
All of the above three scripts are absolutely free to use, you can get all of these scripts in zip format right now by clicking the external download link.
As a follow-up to our previous post covering the top Web Trends of 2006, we´d like to get your vote for Best Internet Bigco of 2006. Long-time R/WW readers will know that at the end of each year we write a post noting our top Web companies of the year. In 2005 the best bigco was Yahoo, while in 2004 it was Google. Who will it be in 2006? Well this is where you can charm the decision ;-) I´ll earmark the concluding editorial judgment for our 2006 Best Of mail but I´m keen to know what you all think!
Firefox is a fast-moving application, and now you can take a agile gander at the first Alpha version of Firefox 3.0, the next iteration of the open-source browser for MS Windows Mac and Linux nicknamed Gran Paradiso. On the coat it doesn´t look that different from the current version of Firefox (which we find to be unacceptably fluid by the way).
Its innovations are under the hood, where it enhances compatibility with three tricked-out graphics standards that might soon be ubiquitous on the Web: Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), the Canvas specification, and the cairo graphics library. Sounds avid but what does all this farce do? They all have to do with making Web pages look the same on any platform, and scaling up graphics without loss of quality.
Explanations, plus the download link, after the jump.
Scalable vector graphics have been around since 2001, and the idea here is to have a standard graphics format on the Web (the way jpeg and gif have become) that uses vectors, that is, descriptions of where lines will go rather than individual dots of each graphic that comprise bitmap images such as jpeg and gif. These graphics can be scaled up or down without any loss of resolution.
What about Canvas? It´s another next-gen Web technology that´s similar to Scalable Vector Graphics but adds the element of animation, where JavaScript code can access a defined area and dynamically draw on graphics such as graphs and animations.
The cairo graphics library is another vector-based graphics enabler that can use hardware acceleration that´s already in Firefox and has been since version 1.5. Cairo can work with the Quartz graphics engine in Mac OS X, as well as OpenGL.
There´s nothing quite like the speed of open-source development, but we wish version 2.0 of Firefox would be perfected before any grand adventures began on the next point release. But that´s just us. – Charlie White
Giz Loves ITP, NYU´s hipster school of digital artists. Here´s a pair of shoes that slow down playback when you stamp down on em. They´re made from a set of old Saucony´s, some photovoltaics mounted towards the establish some quarter-inch jacks, a Snuggle Quik container, and MAX (an interaction programming tool.)
Watch it. It´s pretty bad. I bet MJ could do some crazy shit with these.–Brian Lam
Drawling lines in JavaScript
If you have ever wondered how to use the Bresenham algorithm to draw lines in browsers, it is your golden day.
The article teaches us the way, and you end up with an API such as:
PLAIN TEXT
JAVASCRIPT:
var g = new Graphics();
g.drawLine(100,50,200,70);
g.paint();
