With everyone talking about HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, etc I thought it would be a good idea to put together some simple cheat sheets regarding HTML5, CSS3 and JQuery.
They are by no means exhaustive – and they are not meant to be. They are just simple sheets indicating some basic elements, with a few examples thrown in. I plan to use these in future courses, and over time I might expand upon them, but I thought it would be useful for people to get a simple overview of what these topics are about.

However it takes CSS3 to do it, and although the standard has not been finalised yet, it doesn’t mean that the browsers are not taking advantage of any new techniques that they like.
Such as rounded corners.
At the moment I have only tested Safari andFirefox with this code – I do not know if it is possible in Chrome, IE, etc – but here is the css code…
Firefox (mozilla)
-moz-border-radius: 5 px [for all corners, circle]
