ImprovedSource - Free JavaScript Solitaire Game

Free JavaScript Solitaire Game
by Cory Rauch 2007-02-10 Category: JavaScript

For years now the internet has slowly chipped away at the desktop. In fact many of us have used some forms of web based application or "weblications" with little note. One popular example may be your email client, most people now will use some form of web based email client (Gmail, Hotmail, etc). Or how about map software, i find little need to actually buy a full blown map application since sites like Google Maps and Mapquest all suffice for my basic needs. So what holds us all back from fully converting to using our web browser as the platform for all our programs? Below I've compiled a list of weblications that have replace traditional desktop software. What is the missing piece in the web based application market?

Could Solitaire be for some the last standing obstacle till we all switch to web-based applications for good? Long has the game of Solitaire been the barometer of when an OS is desktop ready. So is this missing piece holding you back from using the web browser as the platform of choice? If so we have you covered with a web-based version of Solitaire.

Requirements

It requires a modern web browser. For best results we actually recommend IE5+ or Opera 7+. It works fine on Firefox and Netscape 7+ other than an annoying quirk when dragging cards causes the page to be selected (I could not find a workaround for this quirk).
