SureFox + HTML5 = Deliver Awesome Web Applications to your Mobile Workforce

For the mobile workforce, web applications are now essential tools. However, to prevent distractions, it is necessary to monitor the applications and browsers that the workforce accesses at the same time. At 42Gears, we have a solution called SureFox, which is a complete browser lockdown solution that includes a comprehensive HTML5 feature set. Whether you are looking for a basic kiosk implementation tool or need to address specific business needs, SureFox can help. 

Following are the details of the features, technologies, and APIs of HTML5 supported by SureFox:

Offline: Local storage, web SQL database storage, online/offline events, application cache

Boost the performance of your application by storing data in the cache, or use it for data persistence, user sessions, and when reloading and restoring pages.

Storage: Web Storage-sessionStorage, Web Storage-localStorage, Web SQL Database Storage, Web SQL Database Rollback, Storage Events

Save data on the device instead of uploading it to the server each and every time. Data can also be synced back to the server, or it can always stay on the device: that’s up to you, the developer.

Communication: postMessage (same domain), postMessage (across domain)

Communicate confidential data between frames on the same window or different windows by using the postMessage API, and integrate 3rd party content with more trust.

Connectivity: Online/offline events, offline detection, navigator  online (using polls instead of events), offline application using manifest.

Handle mobile connections with more control over the connection status, providing more performance and a better user experience.

Multimedia: video element, audio element

Audio and video make the web ultra-rich with HTML5. The real power of these new HTML elements stands out when combined with the other web stack technologies.

Location: GeoLocation

Serve your end-users with location-specific content or just gather user statistics to improve your application by implementing geolocation and tracking using GPS, cellular, or WiFi network.

Graphics: Canvas, 2D Canvas, text element, CSS3, and Interactive Canvas Gradient

Produce animations or visual effects for your web apps and pages with the addition of technologies like canvas elements, smooth CSS3 transitions, and transformations that deal with graphics on the web.

Other available HTML5 features include content-editable attributes and datasets (data-* attributes).
