I recently wanted to test if I was able to give a 3D aspect to wall as a proof of concept, so I fired up textmate, started coding and ended up with this. I only used JavaScript and CSS(3). I also need to point out that this demo only work in Safari as I used […]

It consists on a bug fix where the “drag to share” container wouldn’t be position properly in the case the shared element has a border and/or padding. I also added a little animation to the label, just to say it’s not only a bug fix push 😉 […]

Mozilla announced it’d support pointer-events in Firefox 3.6. While the specification has apparently been part of SVG for a while, I never really heard of it before today. The pointer-events CSS property basically specifies if the mouse event should be sent to the current element, or the element underneath it. Might not look very useful […]
