jQuery Touchwipe Plugin – iPhone, iPad, Android Wipe Effect

.

Touchwipe is a jQuery Plugin that allows you to obtain the wipe event on an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch which can be used for example to scroll through an image gallery. Should also work with Android touchscreens. It’s very small, it’s only 1 KB.

Example

$("#target").touchwipe({
    wipeLeft: function() { alert("left"); },
    wipeRight: function() { alert("right"); },
    wipeUp: function() { alert("up"); },
    wipeDown: function() { alert("down"); }
});

Lynx Viewer – Text-mode Web Browser

.

It’s worth running pages through a text-only browser, or text-browser emulator to see what e.g. a blind person using a text-to-speech converter will encounter. It will help you pick up on badly chosen or missing ALT texts for example. It also shows you the site pretty much as a search engine will see it. Incidentally the Opera browser has a built-in text-browser emulator.

Lynx Viewer is a web service allows web authors to see what their pages will look like when viewed with Lynx, a text-mode web browser.
