kavoir.com Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Did some tests and seems all the HTML5 tags / features work pretty well across all modern browsers except in IE6 for whom you have to use a little JS to make it style specific HTML5 elements. It's easy but still takes quite some time to shape your skills / remember all the tags, etc.. I think I will not adopt it so soon in any foreseeable future as I have yet to discover any substantial benefits it offers. It's disrupting.

JonnoTheDev Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Maybe the reason why youtube are dropping IE6 support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I haven't seen any benefits from it either although I'm sure its technology is pretty substantial seeing as how HTML 4.01 has been out for quite some time. I'm interested in its forecoming, but I really don't know what it will be able to do that traditional HTML cannot. Any discoveries would make for a great blog...assuming the blogger was a worthwhile writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 From what I've read HTML5 new features are supposed to be 'essential' for Palm WebOS applications. Don't know how essential 'essential' is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 The good thing is that HTML 5 will probably knock IE6 out of the water. Once people start using sites that completely don't work because they are on IE6, they will probably start upgrading and getting something better. ..or at least I would hope so.

noober Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I wouldn't personally use it because I haven't looked it over yet or heard any advantages that would persuade me to immediately switch over. Plus, I can't imagine we'll see it in great use for another 8-10 years anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngreenwood6 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Its kinda funny this topic came up because I was just looking into this last night. I found this website http://processingjs.org/. It seems to me that there are going to be some pretty nice enhancements. Especially with the canvas element. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame really considering most other browsers already support it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
