If you have been following MIX 11, there is alot of buzz about the native experience which Internet Explorer 9 / Windows 7 integration can deliver for web applications. One of these features is the jump list for pinned web application and we are glad to announce that Innovative Singapore is now “jump list enabled”!
If you are using IE9 and Windows 7, try pinning the site by dragging it to your Windows Taskbar. Once pinned, right click on the icon and you will be presented with the jump list which presents you with a one-click access to the various sections in Innovative Singapore.
It’s extremely simple to take advantage of this feature. Couple of meta tags (and javascript if you want to enable notification when your site is pinned) and you are good to go.
here’s a couple of MSDN resources to get you going:
- Declaring Pinned Site Metadata
- Adding Tasks to A Jump List
- Customizing the Site Icon
- How to Provide Notification
Chris has also written a blog post earlier on about using HTML5 Web Storage API with the jumplist, check it out here.
Enjoy! 🙂
