Doloto is an AJAX application optimization tool, especially useful for large and complex Web 2.0 applications that contain a lot of code, such as Bing Maps, Hotmail, etc. Doloto analyzes AJAX application workloads and automatically performs code splitting of existing large Web 2.0 applications.

FOUT is what I'm calling the flash of unstyled text that you get while using @font-face in Firefox and Opera.

When you type something into a secure field, each character is displayed as a •. Good news for people who don’t want others to see their password; Bad news for anyone who has a long or difficult password (or is bad at typing). How could we improve the experience of secure text input so that the user entering information could have an idea of what they entered, without anyone else knowing it?

Chroma-Hash approaches this problem using an ambient color representation of the input as it is being typed.

Though there’s been a lot of research on ways to load JavaScript without blocking, there really is just one way that I’d recommend as a best practice. There should really be no need to load anything more than two scripts to get your site initialize and interactive. Make the initial JavaScript file as small as possible and then load in the larger one dynamically to avoid blocking. This is the simplest, easiest way to get all of your JavaScript onto the page without affecting the user experience.

This is a Javascript library that sandwiches PNG image support into IE6 without much fuss.
You can use PNGs as the SRC of an element or as a background-image property in CSS.
If you attempt the latter, you will find that, unlike with vanilla usage of AlphaImageLoader, background-position and background-repeat work as intended.
As a bonus, "fixed" elements will respond to a commonly used set of Javascript style assignments, as well as the A:hover pseudo-class.

A mobile widget is a simple web app that’s built with open web technology like HTML, CSS and JavaScript (we used jQuery). You don’t have to write a line of Java or any proprietary code and you don’t have to understand anything about ‘mobile development’. The files are packaged up into a zip file and downloaded to the phone. The device installs the widget locally, and then it can talk to the web. Widgets can currently run on Nokia S60 phones (currently 1M+ and growing).
