html5

[otuatail]

Hi I have noticed job applications for HTML5. I thought this was under development. Is this up and running and do some browsers need to able to support it. The same goes for CSS3

 

Any information on this please

It's not supported by any IE browser at the moment.

 

It will still render in IE, but you are going to have to do some crazy fixes for it, and some elements won't work (like canvas).

Hi thanks. I have just found out that Firefox 3 does. Seems they are pro active. The other question would be CSS3 but this seems to be a long way off.

Same as HTML5, covering your whole user base with CSS3 is a long way off, by very virtue if the fact that IE supports pretty much no CSS3 selectors. But if you are willing to ignore IE (and/or add IE specific fixes) the rest of the main browsers (FF, Chrome, Safari, Opera) have relatively good CSS3 support. I've been using CSS3 on some sites recently, and just ignoring IE. The sites still work - they just look better in other browsers.

HTML5 and CSS3 is still being finalized that I'm aware of. But several browsers do support them, or at least similar attributes (especially with CSS3). For instance, most of the new CSS3 elements in Firefox and Webkit (Safari) are specific to those browsers (-moz-border-image or -webkit-border-image for example instead of just border-image).

 

IE9 looks promising and will be able to use those or that is at least the hope.
