- yatsyk 16y agoIt would be the best for consumers and developers. Passing AcidTest + html5 support would be great.
- kenjackson 16y agoWhy would passing AcidTest be all that interesting? I get HTML5 support, but it seems like passing a test where the weights are on more obscure features would be low on my priority list.
- yatsyk 16y agoIs there any better way to measure css support in modern browsers?
- kenjackson 16y agoAcid2 is largely a CSS test (which IE passes just fine, AFAIK). ACID3 is largely DOM and Javascript.Here's a good article to read about the ACID3 test, from a name you probably know: http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2008/03/27/acid-redux/ http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2008/03/27/acid-redux/
- yatsyk 16y agoThank you for article. Acid3 is not so good CSS test but we don't have better mainstream css test anyway.
- daviding 16y agoAgreed, in fact they seemed to 'talk up' the future would be HTML5 so much that the Silverlight lack of mentions got a lot of (Silverlight) developers quite anxious [1]. I don't especially want it to fail, as the market is ripe for competition and it will keep pushing Apple and Google forward, but as an app developer that really just wants to stay on the 'pure web' now, it's an unwelcome extra column in the already big matrix of things to have to specially support...
