Ten New Things in WebKit 3
Lately we’ve been talking about a lot of great new features in the latest development trunk of WebKit – features like web fonts, client-side database storage, CSS transforms and CSS animation.
WebKit in the News
Google’s Android announcement (see post below) has led to a new round of stories about WebKit in the blogosphere.
HTML5 Media Support
Another nice feature from the HTML5 draft specification is now available in the WebKit nightly builds for Mac OS X.
CSS Animation
We have another cool new CSS feature to talk about: animation specified in CSS.
WebKit Does HTML5 Client-side Database Storage
The current working spec for the HTML5 standard has a lot of exciting features we would eventually like to implement in WebKit.
WebKit Detect script updated for iPhone and iPod touch

WebCore Rendering V – Floats
A float is a renderer that is designed to shift all the way to the left side or all the way to the right side of a paragraph.
WebCore Rendering IV – Absolute/Fixed and Relative Positioning
The position property in CSS can be used to position an object relative to a specific containing block.
WebCore Rendering III – Layout Basics
When renderers are first created and added to the tree, they have no position or size yet.
WebCore Rendering II – Blocks and Inlines
In the previous entry I talked about the basic structure of a CSS box.
