That page is meant to show off how Safari handles various HTML5 features.
Isn't the point of HTML that all browsers handle it similarly? If that link is restricted to one browser, it isn't better than all the "Designed for IE6" sites you used to see in the early '00s, and absolutely no evidence of Apple being "fully behind HTML5".
- tzs 16y agoHTML5 is not a standard. It does not yet behave the same in all browsers that implement it. Different browsers implement different subsets of it. The site you cite is meant specifically to show how Apple is doing with their HTML5 implementation. There is simply no point in viewing it in another browser. Viewing it in, say, Firefox would tell you nothing at all about how well Apple has implemented HTML5 in Safari. This is completely different from the "Designed for IE6" sites. Those sites were generally presenting information that was useful to people regardless of which browser they were using.
- sid0 16y agoHTML5 is not a standard. It does not yet behave the same in all browsers that implement it. Different browsers implement different subsets of it. And yet they're converging to implementing all of it. The site you cite is meant specifically to show how Apple is doing with their HTML5 implementation. Then it's a Safari demo, not an HTML5 demo. The Microsoft demos use HTML5 and yet work just fine in other browsers. Those sites were generally presenting information that was useful to people regardless of which browser they were using. How is seeing HTML5 working in Firefox or Chrome not useful to people?
- tzs 16y ago> Then it's a Safari demo, not an HTML5 demo. Correct, which is probably why Apple says: "The demos below show how the latest version of Apple’s Safari web browser, new Macs, and new Apple mobile devices all support the capabilities of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript".
