Internet Explorer 9 has been released for Windows Vista or 7. Apparently it supports more features of HTML5 and CSS3, but what about earlier version of IE and HTML5?
What do we need to do to our markup to be sure that IE7 and 8 will 'degrade' gracefully' or even deliver some elements and styles correctly?
There's been a lot of discussion lately about whether or not the HTML5 <video> tag is going to replace Flash Player for video distribution on the web. We’ve been excited about the HTML5 effort and <video> tag for quite a while now, and most YouTube videos can now be played via our HTML5 player. This work has shown us that, while the <video> tag is a big step forward for open standards, the Adobe Flash Platform will continue to play a critical role in video distribution.
Been away from posting up here for a bit. Two reasons:
We had a great holiday in Mallorca and I had a lot of catching up to do. Also I have been busy getting started on the rebuild of the school (within our university) home page. Loads more to do on the layouts across the site.
I thought I would share some of the CSS / XHTML issues that have come up. This has been a case of taking other folks work and building on it and making a few changes that seem important to me.
