Capture a Signature with jQuery and HTML 5

In this series you’ll learn how to add a signature field to your website that allows a user to write their signature on an HTML 5 canvas element. You’ll capture the signature and save it on the server and also learn how to regenerate the signature to display it back to the user at a later date. This technique is cross browser friendly and works in IE7, 8, 9, Chrome, Firefox and Safari. It will also work on most mobile device touch screens.
