Was reading that IE9 will support HTML 5/ CSS 3
What other browsers support this?
See:
There's an excellent graphical summary of browser support for the various features here:
http://html5readiness.com/
...which uses data from When Can I Use...
Also There is a way to support HTML5 elements on IE8 and below using the "shiv".
You can read all about it here:
But to sum it up, new HTML5 elements such a <section>
, <article>
, <aside>
etc... were not a part of the original HTML4 spec which older browsers such as IE8 conform to. However there is a way for older browsers to recognize HTML5 elements using the code snippet below:
"abbr article aside audio bdi canvas data datalist details figcaption figure "+
"footer header hgroup main mark meter nav output progress section " +
"summary template time video"
.replace(/w+/g, function(a){ document.createElement(a) });
Remember to execute this immediately on page load.
