This is a polyfill for implementing the HTML5 <meter> element in browsers that do not currently support it.
Using it is easy — simply include the meter-polyfill.js file in the HEAD of the HTML page. You can then use <meter> elements normally.
The script will look through each <meter> element on the page and construct its own graphical meter using two <div> elements. This is then added as a child of the <meter> element, to serve as a fallback. Browsers that support <meter> elements will still show them natively, while browsers that don't support them will instead show our <div> meters.
A default css file is provided. You may edit this file to style the meters to make them look the way you want.
The script can also be called manually as a jQuery plugin for elements dynamically generated through script. Simply call the .html5Meter() method on any jQuery object containing one or more <meter> elements.
This script requires only the jQuery library.
