<p>As I&#8217;m only using Mac computers at home, I&#8217;m used to the amazing and timesaving  multi-touch gestures on my Macbook and the Magic Mouse. Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice to use this type of user interaction as a web developer to make your web app more useful?</p>
<p>Today I&#8217;ve made an interesting discovery. Safari uses the three-finger swipe gesture for going back and forth in the browser history. That&#8217;s the only gesture in the browser, that affects the content of the displayed site directly. With the use of the HTML5 History API it is possible to manipulate the browser history although you aren&#8217;t actually leaving the visited site. So let&#8217;s say You&#8217;ve a gallery page with 5 different photos and You want to swipe through them like it&#8217;s possible in iPhoto or on the iPhone. If you&#8217;re on a Mac and using Safari, you can check it out <a href="http://fabianpimminger.com/playground_files/history/">here</a>.</p>
<p>The best way to start is to open a new pop-up window, so it doesn&#8217;t contain any previous page in the browsing history. Then you have to create a history entry for all items in your gallery and jump back to the very first one right after the page is loaded. If  you&#8217;re now swiping with three fingers, you are going one page forward and it&#8217;s easy to catch this change with a simple event handler. The rest is just some fancy javascript trickery.</p>

<p>Today, Apple has introduced the brand new <a href="http://www.apple.com/safari/">Safari 5</a> at the <strong>Worldwide Developer Conference</strong> (WWDC) in San Francisco. Besides a further massive performance increase, one of the main new features is the ability to create and install <strong>extensions</strong> for Apple&#8217;s browser. Extensions are basically collections of HTML, CSS and Javascript files that extend Safari&#8217;s features through a special Extension API.</p>
<p>After an hour of digging through the <a href="http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/Tools/Conceptual/SafariExtensionGuide/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009977-CH1-SW1">documentation</a>, I&#8217;m able to show you my first extension for Safari: <strong>Google Reader Styles</strong> lets you <strong>change the theme of Google Reader</strong> without installing <a href="http://8-p.info/greasekit/">GreaseKit</a> or any other <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748">Greasemonkey</a>-Plugin. Currently there are only two styles (<a href="http://helvetireader.com/">Helvetireader</a> and the <a href="http://userstyles.org/styles/16900">Mac OS X Snow Leopard</a>) available &#8211; with more to come in the next few days. The different styles can be selected in the Safari Preferences.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-2272" title="style0" src="http://www.fabianpimminger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/style0-468x352.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="352" /></p>

<p>Wer gerade versucht eine deutsche (.de) Domain aufzurufen, wird mit größter Wahrscheinlichkeit nicht an sein gewünschtes Ziel geleitet sondern erhält eine plumpe Fehlermeldung, dass der Server nicht erreichbar ist.</p>
<p>Grund für dieses großflächige Problem, das die meisten (oder fast alle) .de-Domains unbrauchbar macht, ist ein Ausfall von 4 der 6 Nameserver bei DENIC, der zentralen Registrierungsstelle von .de-Domains. Hoffen wir, dass die DNS-Probleme bald behoben sind &#8211; DENIC arbeitet angeblich schon mit Hochdruck daran. Aktuelle Meldungen und den Fortschritt bekommt man derzeit wohl am besten über <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=denic">Twitter</a>, wo die relevanten Tweets sekündlich eintreffen.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE (15:00):</strong></p>
<p>Es sind angeblich alle Nameserver ausgefallen, nicht nur vier! Hier eine offizielle Stellungnahme von DENIC:</p>
<blockquote><p>Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,</p>
<p>derzeit kommt es zu einem Fehlverhalten bei einigen .de-Nameservern. Wir sind aktuell dabei das Problem zu qualifizieren und werden Euch mit Statusmeldungen weiter informieren.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>UPDATE (15:10):</strong></p>
<p>Auf <a href="http://board.protecus.de/t39633.htm">Twitter</a> und in meinen Kommentaren (danke, <a href="http://www.georgholzer.at">Georg</a>) habe ich einen <strong>Tipp</strong> gefunden, wie man dem Problem zumindest vorübergehend aus dem Weg geht. Einfach die DNS-Server-Einstellungen im Betriebssystem auf Googles <a href="http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/speed/public-dns/">Public DNS</a> (8.8.8.8 und 8.8.4.4) umstellen.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE (15:30):</strong></p>
<p>Angeblich sind die Server wieder online. Bis sich alles normalisiert, dürfte aber noch ein bisschen Zeit vergehen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
<p>Nearly three years ago, when Apple introduced the iphone, so-called &#8220;<a href="http://www.apple.com/webapps/">Web Apps</a>&#8221; were the only way to develop and publish self-made applications on Apple&#8217;s new and shiny gadget. With the announcement of the SDK and the launch of the App Store, developers started abandoning web applications and began flocking to native development. But this is not the end of web-based applications: Recently Google <a href="http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/07/google-app-store/">declared the end of mobile app stores</a> and with <a href="http://www.google.com/mobile/voice/">Google Voice</a>, <a href="http://www.google.com/mobile/buzz/">Buzz</a> and <a href="http://www.google.com/mobile/mail/">GMail</a>, the company started to port their entire <a href="http://www.google.com/mobile/">range of services</a> to the mobile web. Besides that, <a href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/">HTML5</a> provides the much-needed technologies (offline access, storage, location awareness) to really make web-based applications great and useful.</p>
<p><strong>On of the biggest problems</strong> developers are facing with mobile web applications is the <strong>user interface/experience</strong>. We have to reach the superior quality GUI of native applications together with all the conveniences they are offering to users. The majority of web sites for example are using the plain old on-screen-keyboard for every text input, no matter what characters will be entered. It isn&#8217;t really comfortable to enter an email-address when you have to change to the secondary keyboard to enter a &#8220;@&#8221;. Just the same as having to change it for entering numbers in an input element that is only ment to contain numbers anyway.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1968" title="on_scree_keyboards" src="http://www.fabianpimminger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/on_scree_keyboards.jpg" alt="" width="468" height="500" /></p>
<p>This is probably the most common user interface problem and it is also one of the easiest to fix. The <a href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/">HTML5 specification</a> contains an extension to the type attribute of input elements that is <strong>perfectly recognized by Mobile Safari</strong>. With just <a href="http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/codinghowtos/Mobile/UserExperience/index.html#GENERAL-CONTROL_WHICH_KEYBOARD_IS_DISPLAYED_WHEN_A_USER_TOUCHES_A_TEXT_FIELD">a little change</a>, you are able to make your web-based application more convenient to use. And by the way: Browsers that don&#8217;t understand the new type attributes will ignore it and keep displaying a normal input element.</p>
<p><strong>It is as simple as the following code snippet:</strong></p>

<div class="wp_syntax"><div class="code"><pre class="javascript" style="font-family:monospace;">Text<span style="color: #339933;">:</span> <span style="color: #339933;">&lt;</span>input type<span style="color: #339933;">=</span><span style="color: #3366CC;">&quot;text&quot;</span> <span style="color: #339933;">/&gt;</span> <span style="color: #339933;">&lt;!--</span> display a standard keyboard <span style="color: #339933;">--&gt;</span>
Telephone<span style="color: #339933;">:</span> <span style="color: #339933;">&lt;</span>input type<span style="color: #339933;">=</span><span style="color: #3366CC;">&quot;tel&quot;</span> <span style="color: #339933;">/&gt;</span> <span style="color: #339933;">&lt;!--</span> display a telephone keypad <span style="color: #339933;">--&gt;</span>
URL<span style="color: #339933;">:</span> <span style="color: #339933;">&lt;</span>input type<span style="color: #339933;">=</span><span style="color: #3366CC;">&quot;url&quot;</span> <span style="color: #339933;">/&gt;</span> <span style="color: #339933;">&lt;!--</span> display a URL keyboard <span style="color: #339933;">--&gt;</span>
Email<span style="color: #339933;">:</span> <span style="color: #339933;">&lt;</span>input type<span style="color: #339933;">=</span><span style="color: #3366CC;">&quot;email&quot;</span> <span style="color: #339933;">/&gt;</span> <span style="color: #339933;">&lt;!--</span> display an email keyboard <span style="color: #339933;">--&gt;</span>
Zip Code<span style="color: #339933;">:</span> <span style="color: #339933;">&lt;</span>input type<span style="color: #339933;">=</span><span style="color: #3366CC;">&quot;text&quot;</span> pattern<span style="color: #339933;">=</span><span style="color: #3366CC;">&quot;[0-9]*&quot;</span> <span style="color: #339933;">/&gt;</span> <span style="color: #339933;">&lt;!--</span> display a numeric keyboard <span style="color: #339933;">--&gt;</span></pre></div></div>

<p>Just change to type attribute to either &#8220;tel&#8221;, &#8220;url&#8221; or &#8220;email&#8221;. Additionally you can alter use the new pattern attribute to only allow numbers. I&#8217;ve set up a demo page which can be accessed with every iPhone and iPod Touch. <strong>Please note, that this feature is only supported in iPhone OS 3.1 or newer</strong>.</p>

<p>While searching the web for a proper way to track user behaviour, I stumbled upon a very interesting <a href="http://briancray.com/2009/12/29/understanding-user-behavior-google-analytics-event-tracking-jquery/#comments">blog post written by Brian Cray</a>. He uses the &#8220;power&#8221; of Google Analytics&#8217; new <a href="http://analytics.blogspot.com/2009/12/google-analytics-launches-asynchronous.html">Asynchronous Tracking</a> to track all clicked links and get information about how the users behave on his site. This method gives you insights about what elements of the site are really used and how the visitors are navigating through the content. <strong>Brian sums it up quite properly:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong> I dare you to answer the following questions with your current Google Analytics setup:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Are your users using the main menu to navigate or do they use different means to find content?</li>
<li>Do your users scroll through your content and click links in the footer?</li>
<li>Do your users click on an article title or the “continue reading…” link?</li>
<li>Do your users actually go through the items in my dropdown menu, or are they</li>
<li>unaware of the dropdown menus?</li>
<li>Do your users follow your related blog entry suggestions?</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>As I&#8217;ve chosen <a href="http://mootools.net/">Mootools</a> as the Javascript-Framework for many of my websites, I couldn&#8217;t really copy and paste the code to the &lt;head&gt;-sections. I&#8217;ve not only rewritten the code-snippet to utilize Mootools instead of jQuery but also tweaked the functionality which results in better tracking.</p>
<p><strong>Just copy and paste this right under the code of google analytics:</strong></p>

<p>In den letzten Monaten hat sich einiges getan im Bezug auf Web-Standards und Technologien. Beispielsweise wurde ein neuer Browser-Wettlauf rund um die HTML5-Spezifikationen entfacht und die Hersteller versuchen jeden noch so kleinen Geschwindigkeitsvorteil aus ihren Software herauszuholen. Was heutzutage mit &#8220;stinknormalen&#8221; Browsern möglich ist, zeigt Guillermo Esteves auf seinem <a href="http://blog.gesteves.com/post/261593774/im-done-star-wars-opening-crawl-using-only-html">Blog</a>:</p>
<p>Er hat die berühmte Anfangssequenz von Star Wars &#8211; den gelben Lauftext mit dem Weltall im Hintergrund &#8211; <a href="http://www.gesteves.com/experiments/starwars.html">komplett in HTML und CSS nachgebaut</a>. Leider funktioniert die Animation scheinbar derzeit nur mit Snow Leopard und dem Safari 4.0.4 sowie dem <a href="http://nightly.webkit.org/">WebKit nightly-Build</a>. Für alle Windows-User gibt&#8217;s jedoch netterweise ein <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTbioEQ_FcE">Video auf YouTube</a>.</p>
<p><object width="500" height="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wTbioEQ_FcE?version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wTbioEQ_FcE?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="400" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>

<p><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright size-full wp-image-1759" title="google_browser_size" src="http://www.fabianpimminger.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/google_browser_size.png" alt="" width="150" height="55" />Es ist noch gar nicht so lange her, da musste man beim Web-Design noch auf die kleineren Auflösungen der <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathodenstrahlröhrenbildschirm">CRT-Monitore</a> Rücksicht nehmen. 800*600 Pixel war vor ein paar Jahren noch die Bildschirmauflösung von einem nicht zu vernachlässigenden Teil der Website-Besucher, der dementsprechend berücksichtigt werden musste. Ähnliche Probleme entstehen auch jetzt wieder, wenn man mit Netbooks und anderen mobilen Geräten mit geringer Bildschirmgröße auf das Internet zugreift.</p>
<p>Google hat jetzt ein brauchbares Tool <a href="http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2009/12/introducing-google-browser-size.html">herausgebracht</a>, dass einem Vieles erleichtern soll. Mit <a href="http://browsersize.googlelabs.com/">Browser Size</a> spürt man gezielt Usability-Probleme im Zusammenhang mit zu kleinen Auflösungen auf und kann seine Internetseiten entsprechend verändern. Über die eigentliche Website wird ein halbtransparentes Overlay gelegt, anhand dessen man anschließend leicht den prozentuell sichtbaren Bereich erkennen kann.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-1758" title="Bildschirmfoto 2009-12-20 um 15.42.30" src="http://www.fabianpimminger.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Bildschirmfoto-2009-12-20-um-15.42.30-468x380.png" alt="" width="468" height="380" /></p>
<p>Bei wem also wiedermal ein Website-Redesign ansteht, der sollte sich das kleine Helferlein im Hinterkopf behalten &#8230;</p>

<p>Google hat bereits vor einiger Zeit mit <a href="http://www.chromeexperiments.com/">Chrome Experiments</a> eine Plattform für allerlei Javascript-Spielereien und Experimente ins Leben gerufen auf der es sich immer wieder einmal vorbeizuschauen lohnt. Da Googles Browser &#8211; genauso wie Apples Safari &#8211; die Webkit-Engine zu Grunde liegt, lassen sich die meisten Projekte auch mit anderen Browsern aufrufen. Auch mit dem Firefox kann man bei dem ein oder anderen Experiment ein Glück haben, immerhin werden nur offene Standards verwendet.</p>
<p>Besonders lustig finde ich <a href="http://experiments.instrum3nt.com/markmahoney/ball/">Browser Ball</a>, das beliebig viele Browserfenster zu einem großen Spielfeld zusammenfügt und man einen Ball über verschiedene Windows werfen kann. Schaut&#8217;s euch mal an &#8211; es ist beeindruckend!</p>
