Responsive email design has been growing steadily in popularity. Some brands turn to responsive design techniques to create better experiences for their subscribers, and in many cases, increase their click and engagement rates.
The foundation of responsive email design is built upon CSS3 media queries, which can be confusing and complicated to learn. And like everything else in email, they don’t work quite the same way in our inboxes as they do on the websites we view in browsers.
This is a how-to guide for responsive email design. See what is possible with responsive email design, how to implement media queries in your design, and support for responsive emails in various mobile email applications.

Keypress is a robust Javascript library for capturing keyboard input. It’s an input capture library with some very special features, it is easy to pick up and use, has a reasonable footprint (~9kb), and has no dependencies.
Some keys have unreliable support and should mostly be avoided. Print, Scroll Lock, Pause/Break, and Insert have unreliable keyup or keydown firing in Windows or OS X, so I suggest avoiding them, although Keypress does still allow them.

Responsive Elements makes it possible for any element to adapt and respond to the area they occupy. It’s a tiny javascript library that you can drop into your projects today. The element is aware of it’s own width. It responds and adapts to increasing or decreasing amounts of space. You can easily explicitly declare which elements you want to be responsive using a data-respond attribute.

Dart is a new language, with tools and libraries, for structured web app engineering. The Dart language is familiar and easy to learn. It’s class based and object oriented, without being dogmatic. The core libraries provide all the basics, including support for asynchronous programming with Futures.
Polymer.dart lets you use future web APIs today, with support for web components, custom elements, data binding, and more. Dart apps are fastest in the Dart VM, but they can be speedy even after compilation to JavaScript. All modern browsers (both desktop and mobile) can run Dart web apps, thanks to the Dart-to-JavaScript compiler.

In this article, we’ll get rolling on developing plug-in free by creating bar graphs and similar graphics, using NASDAQ’s current web site as an example. But we won’t be creating merely a picture of a bar graph, but a real, interactive bar graph. Let’s take a look at an existing site that uses Flash, then build one using HTML5.
If you have Flash installed, you’ll see a fancy line chart. You can float your mouse over the line and see a small popup showing the stock price at that point, along with the volume of trading, like so:
If you don’t have Flash installed, then the site just shows you a graphic image. So you’re not left out completely without Flash, but with HTML5, we can include everybody.
Now, we’ll build something similar. To keep this article from getting too long, let’s just show the data in a box below the graph. But as you move the mouse along the graph, or touch it on a tablet, it will highlight the closest point on the graph, and show the information for that point in a box. Here’s what the final product will look like: Read the rest of this entry »
