If you are beginner or even advanced developer in HTML5, this article is MUST READ for you!

IMAGINE yourself developing some super-cool HTML5 web application where you spend weeks or even months in development, and then you figure some cool feature in HTML5 and you integrate it!

Everything works perfect, until you find out, that this feature is not supported by some browser(s). Problem gets whole lot bigger when you find out that nearly 20% of your user uses that browser(s)!

Well, solution of your problem is super-cool web tool called THE HTML5 TEST.

What it does, it detects your currently active browser, and automaticly runs quick and complete test about how well does your browser support HTML5!

It gives you ability to compare 3 browsers at the same time, and detect their compatibility or non-compatibility.
You can also compate up to 3 HTML5 features, and see the list of browsers that support that feature, and those that don't support.

It goes from:

  • desktop browsers - Chrome 6-18, Firefox 3.0-11, Internet Explorer 6-10, Opera 10.00-12.00, Safari...
  • tablet browsers - Android, BlackBerry, iOS, Opera Mobile, RIM Tablet...
  • mobile phone browsers - Android, Bada, BlackBerry, Firefox Mobile, iOS, Opera Mobile, Symbian, webOS, Windows Phone...
  • television browsers - GoogleTV, Panasonic Smart Viera, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, Toshiba...
  • gaming browsers - Nintendo, Sony Playstation...


Everything that is capable od "browsing" it can be tested! :D
OK, I admit that you don't need all of those browsers to test, but I just wanned quickly to show you the wide array of supported browsers. :)
