Checking apple touch icon - html

I've just set up an apple touch icon link and image for a website and I'd like to check whether or not it works. Without an iDevice I'm struggling to perform this test.
Does anyone know of a tool that can be used to perform this test?

How to create popup windows in html

I want to know how the pop up windows integrated into websites are built. I am trying to create one for my websites but i don't really know it is created whether they are plugins or not. Any help as to how to go about it.
Below is an example of what i want to do.
You can use hotjar.com to put a feedback box in your page, there is a lot of services that provides this feature, but hotjar gets the job done
Beginner! To make a pop-up like the one you provided, you would need to write backend code (Node.JS, PHP, Python, etc.). But for just a simple info pop-up with a button that activates the pop-up refer to this jsfiddle I created:
https://jsfiddle.net/d706dyg7/1/
$("#whateverid").click(function(){
//whatever code
});
That mean when that element is clicked blah happens.
Hope that helps,
Ben A.K.A BlackSky
P.S. If you want a solution in pure javascript and not jQuery just let me know and I will edit my fiddle!
I know I'm like .. 10 years late. But for anyone still wondering I thought I could be of some help!
If you want to do this using ONLY html and css (using a framework in visual studio like ASP.NET) for example.. here's what I did:
First, I made sure I had multiple "divs" in my code. For me specifically, I had two main ones. The first one whose id="main", and another whose id="popup" with the 'visible' property initially set to 'false' for the popup div.
Then, on whichever event you're looking for (button click for example) you'll simply set main.Visible = false and popup.Visible = true, then you could have more buttons in your popup (yes, no, cancel, confirm, etc.) which do the exact same thing, but in reverse!
The most important thing to make sure of is that you have the 'runat="server"' property in your divs so that you can access them in your CS code
Hope this was helpful! :)
Your looking for something called a modal. Depending how you wrote your HTML there are different ways of approaching this issue.
If your wrote your website in Plain HTML you can use the following tutorial to create one

However if you wrote your website with a library such as Bootstrap they have built in pre made modules that you can attach to your cpde. These can Ben found in the library's documentation.

Is there a simulator to test out ocusdk without the hardware?

Just downloaded the OCUSDK and have been reading thru it. I don't yet have DK2. Is it possible to run the sample code for any simulator without having the headset? I'd just like to see the images on my windows 7 PC screen.
If this is possible, please give me a hint. Thanks!!!
Yes it is possible. Check the code in the Oculus Tiny Room sample.
If no real headset is detected, you can fall back to a debug headset. This will display a window on your screen, so you can use this to test your rendering pipeline.
You will not get any head tracking input though.

Cast a website to TV from Android app - Chromecast; is it possible?

This is what I want to do.
Have a screen on my Android app with a few buttons on it. One of them would be the Chromecast icon, the other buttons would just be a few numbers most like (a "1" button, a "2" button, a "3" button etc).
When the cast button is hit, a default website is loaded (eg. www.example.com) on the TV. In the Android app, I still just see my buttons.
When a number his hit (ie. "1") the website changes, and www.example.com/parameter/1 is loaded for example.
I have been reading Google's documentation. If I understand correctly, I can create Android sender app code to do part 1 and 2. And a receiver application for part 3.
What I am confused about though is how I just get it to load a preexisting website. Surely I wouldn't need any custom HTML5 code for that? All I want to do is load a URL.
Could someone please advise me if what I want to do is possible, and if so point me in the right direction? Thanks
The default receiver only loads media URLs. Video, images, etc. If you want it to do anything else, like show a website, you need to create a custom receiver.
Luckily, that's rather easy, and they have some good samples on the Github account.

Use NativeText, look here for the great article:
http://blogs.adobe.com/cantrell/archives/2011/09/native-text-input-with-stagetext.html
here's a tutorial
Just be aware there are two SkinClasses for TextInput and TextArea, MobileSkin and StageSkin. StageSkin can control the softkeyboard, but has scaling issues. MobileSkin can't control the softkeyborad, but doesn't have scaling issues. Follow this bug and related issues for more info about that.

Create a chrome extension which modifies a web page?

every time I go to a particular web page I hit F12 delete a node and uncheck a few absolute position boxes on two others. I would like to know how to do this with a chrome extension.
I have not made a chrome extension before so I thorough guide to making one would also be appreciated
I recommend you to read this guide first as Google suggests.
http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted.html
Also, I think in order to implement what you want to do, you'll need to use page action.
So, take a look at this page about page action.
