Create .Zip Files With JavaScript – JSZip

Post pobrano z: Create .Zip Files With JavaScript – JSZip

JSZip is an open source JavaScript library for creating .zip files on the client-side.

Using very simple functions, you can add any number of files and folders inside the zip file, find items already included and remove any of them.

The library is not a totally perfect solution as it does not support Google Chrome + IE and has some issues in generating the name for the zip file (an alternative solution using Downloadify is offered).

Browser Detection With PHP – Browser.php

Post pobrano z: Browser Detection With PHP – Browser.php

Learning a user's browser and its version is usually very important to decide if any other scripts or styles need to be inserted into the web page.

And, such tasks are usually accomplished with JavaScript as we don't need to go so deep (detecting if it is IE or not is generally enough).

Browser.php

Browser.php is a very useful PHP class that helps collecting data about a visitor's browser including:

  • platform used
  • browser
  • browser version

It can detect almost every popular browser including mobile + tablet devices and robots with a few lines just like:

$browser = new Browser();
if( $browser->getBrowser() == Browser::BROWSER_FIREFOX && $browser->getVersion() >= 2 ) {
	echo 'You have FireFox version 2 or greater';
}

If the need for browser detection is more than just analyzing whether it is IE, Firefox, Chrome or Safari, then Browser.php is definitely a must-bookmark.

Less Framework Becomes More Powerful With Version 3

Post pobrano z: Less Framework Becomes More Powerful With Version 3

Less Framework is a cross-device CSS grid system that uses inline media queries.

It was previously shared at WRD and now became more mature and powerful with the 3rd version.

Less Framework 3

It first creates a default layout normally and adds additional layouts using inline media queries. Any browsers incompatible with media queries will simply ignore all the additional layouts, and will only use the default one.

The additional layouts will inherit any styles given to the default layout, so coding them is a breeze.

Less Framework's website shows howmany columns are required for which devices and the CSS code can be customized online.
