Prevent zoom on focus
// * iOS zooms on form element focus. This script prevents that behavior.
// * <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1">
// If you dynamically add a maximum-scale where no default exists,
// the value persists on the page even after removed from viewport.content.
// So if no maximum-scale is set, adds maximum-scale=10 on blur.
// If maximum-scale is set, reuses that original value.
// * <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=2.0,maximum-scale=1.0">
// second maximum-scale declaration will take precedence.
// * Will respect original maximum-scale, if set.
// * Works with int or float scale values.

Talk abstract for Nebraska Code Camp 2013: Tool or Die (A Web Developer's Workflow)
“Tool and die makers are a class of machinists who work primarily in
toolroom environments—…often in an environment with flexible, semipermeable
boundaries from production work.”
These are the people that make the tools to make the products. This was the
environment I grew up in—watching my father work as a tool and die maker.
He could make anything! But more importantly, he knew the value of good
tools—even if you had to construct them yourself.
Tools are important and tooling for Web Development is improving! I'll go

postMessage polyfill for IE < 8 that uses window.name and queues messages so they aren't lost while polling. Requires a JSON.parse polyfill (like JSON.js).

Differences between Pure Internet Explorers and IE Compatibility Modes

Or, yet more evidence that you should use feature detection instead of browser/user agent sniffing.

IE9

Not supported in IE9 but works in IE10-as-IE9

  • Unprefixed CSS transform. Should require -ms-transform but doesn’t require it.

IE8
