Search “When can I use…” tables

Search option for WCIU
I’ve added a search box for the “When can I use…” browser support tables. Just start typing a word like “corner”, “SVG”, or “attribute” and only the matched tables will appear.

Other minor updates include the addition of HTML5’s contenteditable (to throw IE a bone) and more unofficial features by Webkit, including CSS Transforms, CSS 3D Transforms, CSS Transitions, CSS Animation, CSS Gradients, CSS Canvas Drawings, CSS Reflections and CSS Masks. I’d be happy to add more non-Webkit features, but other browsers seem to prefer to keep their experimental features apart from their official builds.

How to convert PDF files to CBZ

PDF to CBZ graphic
This post explains my method used to convert comic book PDFs to CBZ files (CBZ is like CBR but uses ZIPs instead of RARs), for use in ComicZeal or other comic book reading software.

When can I use…by spec status!

An update to the “When can I use” page, now you can filter by spec status. This is helpful to only see support for full W3 recommendations, mostly stable specs, features still in flux or completely unofficial features.

I find it interesting to see that with IE8 Microsoft has focused largely on improving items under “candidate recommendation” status (primarily CSS 2.1), whereas most full recommendations (XHTML, SVG, MathML) get ignored. Working draft features seem to only be added when the spec is pretty clear cut, such as the querySelector one.

Operanoid web game for iPhone/iPod touch

Through a little tweaking, I have modified my Operanoid (arkanoid/breakout-like game) game to work in Mobile Safari for the iPhone/iPod touch. I suppose I could call it “iphonoid” or something like that, but as a token of my apprecation of the Opera web browser, I’ll leave it the way it is.

The game could use some improvement, and I may develop it a little further if there’s enough interest in it. For now, it’s functional and playable, and still also works in desktop browsers. Enjoy!
