Today I added some new features and have decided an overall progression.
First of all let me quickly go over whats inside of 1.1.0 which can be found in the code.google.com/p/52framework
It has a few nice CSS3 properties, even though they are not completely cross browser they do degrade rather nicely in the poor browsers (ie). Those include Text-Shadow, Box-Shadow, Rounded-Corners, and Transform (rotation). I am planning on pulling those outside of the main demo as the stylesheet iteself IS by itself. I will try to add every CSS3 feature that works on multiple browsers and looks fine in non-compliant browsers.
It has the video tag, which is not bothering me because the download has become 20mb and thats scary, so i will try to host those files on the cloud, or ill make a little .5mb file for the videos.
It also has a feature i have wanted to play with for a long time, the canvas tag. Oh boy is the canvas tag awesome. Well let's start with what is it... it's a way for you to use javascript and html to draw things in the browser, whether you want rectangles, or circles canvas is the man for the job. I wasn't sure if i was going to include canvas as it doesnt work by default in IE. However i found a js script that allows it to do just that, so i included it and it works. I will pull canvas into its own page as well, and ill add more interactive examples of the amazing things u can do with canvas.
I realize the production time of this framework is rather slow but this seems to be a one man show, so i do it on my spear time. Feel free to contribute however you can!
Very excited to keep going with this, i am highly interested in seeing if u have used the framework for a website u are building.
Thanks,
Angel Grablev
