HTML5 is Officially Out
-
After many, many years it has finally happened. HTML5 has finally, officially released. The W3C does not move quickly on these things, that's for sure.
-
It's about time. For those of us who learned on HTML 3 in the 1990s, this seems modern. To a lot of the younger IT pros, it must seem like they have been operating under the proposed HTML5 standard since the dawn of time. For a lot of people like @thanksaj and @FiyaFly HTML5 was the effective standard years before they were doing anything in IT!
-
I first learned on XHTML and CSS3 (I think it was 3). HTML5 is very new and very foreign to me.

@Reid-Cooper Let's see if Microsoft's IE will fully support the new standards.

I thought there has been HTML5 support since IE10.
-
@thanksaj Officially there has been, but I believe full support has been a bit broken since then as well.

Ok, so kind of the it was added as a supported feature, but wasn't supported well, kind of thing?

No browser supports HTML5 completely correctly. Granted there are ones that do it better than others.

Partially because the final spec is just one day old. But in general, all HTML support is always just "really close." The closer the better, and that is what they generally compete over.

Agreed - and as we all know, until recently MS/IE just used to do their own thing, but now they seem to be at least trying to play better.

I didn't know it was in the closet.

As far back as IE7 there has always been extra code snippets that will have to be added to deal with browser inconsistencies with HTML, XHTML and CSS. Most often MS was last to the party and only if you add proprietary coding.
