Quick Demos

Apologies to all – none of the online demos currently work as my website is, alas, no more. I am in the process of moving the demos to Github pages, please bear with me!

The demos are bundled with the repo though, so the adventurous can download the source and open the relevant HTML pages in the browser.

• Mixed HTML5 polyfill and Javascript API demo
• Using yepnope and Modernizr to load dependencies only when required for HTML5 polyfills
• CSS generated content tooltip extension
