Important note: Webshim is not compatible with upcoming jQuery 3.x and I do not plan to work on a new major version. I will still fix critical bugs in the future though.
The polyfilling, capability based loading JavaScript Library
- HTML5 compliant: correctly and accurately implemented (HTML5) Markup-, JS- and DOM-APIs
- capability based loading: extremely lightweight in modern browsers
- cross-browser support: All A-Graded browsers including latest version of Opera are tested
- extendable: if we have not implemented a feature you want, you can easily implement it on your own
- canvas
- HTML5 form features including: constraint validation and form widgets (input[type="range"], input[type="date"], input[type="number"], input[type="time"], input[type="month"], output, progress, input[list]/datalist)
- HTML5 audio/video/track implementation
- matchMedia
- interactive elements: summary/details
- XHR2 / filereader (including, XHR2/AJAX CORS and FormData handling)
- picture / img[srcset]
- promise
- geolocation
- ECMAScript 5 / JavaScript 1.8.5 features
- window.URL
- getUserMedia ('usermedia' currently only access to user's camera, not microphone)
- sticky (position: sticky)
1 - Download the Webshim Lib and put the js-webshim folder in your project.
2 - Include the JavaScript:
<script src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="js-webshim/minified/polyfiller.js"></script>
<script>
// load and implement all unsupported features
webshims.polyfill();
// or only load a specific feature
//webshims.polyfill('forms es5');
</script>3 - Wait till everything has been loaded and then use it:
<script>
$(function(){
// work with the HTML5 API
$('input:invalid').each(function(){
$(this).after( $.prop(this, 'validationMessage') );
});
// ...
});
</script>bower install webshim --save-dev
