Thomas Fuchs has created exactly what jQuery mobile should be — a lightweight framework that does away with a lot of the cross-platform cruft that weighs down jQuery, designed just for mobile. It also does away with all of the fake, timing-based animations that most javascript frameworks use and shifts animations and transitions to CSS3. It’s even got touch events!
What’s more, its zipped, minified size is just 2,368 bytes and it implements a large subset of functions from libraries such as jQuery and Prototype, along with touch-specific events such as
tap(),doubleTap()andswipe().

Hopeful article from Quirksmode discussing how IE9 is no longer behind the curve. With Internet Explorer’s latest iteration of browser, they will no longer be playing catch up, but become an actual competitor again. Not a joke. There are 3 properties it looks like it’s not supporting yet; however ie9 isn’t out yet so that could change pretty quick. Oh and the author’s been keeping a table chart of all the css3 selectors being supported by all browsers. Pretty impressive.
