HTML5 Web Component for Country Flags

HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript

The Fine Art of Web Development by Martin Ivanov

[sourcecode language=”html”]
<acidjs-xflag code="bg"></acidjs-xflag>
<acidjs-xflag code="cz" size="small"></acidjs-xflag>
<acidjs-xflag code="de" size="medium"></acidjs-xflag>
<acidjs-xflag code="mt" size="large"></acidjs-xflag>
[/sourcecode]
