How to tell if it's HTML5

dieselmachine · 2012-09-06T00:34:24+00:00

Not quite true. It could be regular HTML and still not work on Internet Explorer.

I'm no raving fan of IE, but as of IE9 it is a perfectly adequate browser.

Yes, they were the bastards who brought IE6 and IE7 to the world, but that was a decade ago. There are many reasons to make fun of Microsoft, but I don't think that IE is one of them any more.

Finding "<!DOCTYPE html>" in the code will simply tell you that it is HTML5.

Someone needs to get the word out about html5, they could canvas door to door.

Turnip_Blaster · 2012-09-06T06:02:56+00:00

But what about all the other things that break IE that aren't HTML5?

Hasn't been true in years.

You do realize comparing IE6 and 7 to Firefox 14, and modern Chrome isn't really fair right? Yes, IE6 sucks, and IE7 sucks, but a bit less- but when they came out, they were fine. IE9, pretty good.

So fresh and witty.

lemmysdaddy · 2012-09-06T04:55:29+00:00

I use Google Chrome for most things, but only because of the plugins. There are features in IE9, however, that I really really really wish Google (or Firefox, or anyone) would implement. These include:

Full hotkey support while in full screen mode (Chrome has 0 support for hotkeys while in full screen).
The ability to say "delete everything upon exit (unless it's in my favorites)".

Why Google or anyone else is incapable of giving us those seemingly simple things is beyond me.

Edit: OK, the F11 key works in full screen in Chrome. To take you out of full screen. That's it, but it does prove that it's possible.

Except Internet Explorer 9 supports HTML5 according to here, here, and here. The last URL is a link to bing.com which displays a new HTML5 video every day. Seems to work for me, let the downvotes commence!

BTAA4TD · 2012-09-06T05:21:45+00:00

That is complete bullshit.

Lippuringo · 2012-09-06T03:03:05-07:00

Why everyone hate IE? He doing perfect and holy job for all of us: downloading Opera, Chrome or Firefox.

BlueThundah · 2012-09-06T12:19:14+00:00

it's been a while since i've seen this one

goddamnitgoose · 2012-09-06T15:27:02+00:00

But this would make me have to use IE...

_J_ · 2012-09-06T15:35:36+00:00

Wow...what an old repost. IE now supports HTML5.

How to know if your lecturer is a douche.

Does he put slides like this up ?

He's a douche.

sheitstrom · 2012-09-06T06:03:03+00:00

IE9 is a steaming pile of rancid monkey excrement. There should be a plug-in that smashes IE9 users on the head until they close the program.

oblongoblong · 2012-09-06T07:09:10+00:00

Sticking with IE nowadays is like insisting on riding an arthritic, three-legged donkey to work while everyone around you is trying to give you an awesome new car for free. It used to be a pretty decent donkey, but now it's old, smells bad and only goes in circles.

The one legitimate use of any version of IE is to download a proper browser.

It's funny because it's true.
