HTML 5 + Progress element check?

Question

This might be very basic, or not possible, but it's alluding me and worth asking. Is there a way to check if the html 5 progress element is supported in a browser?

var progress = document.createElement('progress');

Answer 1

Another oneliner, taken from Modernizr:

//returns true if progress is enabled
var supportsProgress = (document.createElement('progress').max !== undefined);
