IE9 at the head of first tests HTML 5 of the W3C

It is only one half-surprise, so much Microsoft affirmed its will to conform from now on to the standards of the Web. Nevertheless to see IE9 exceeding Chromium, Opera or Firefox in the first tests of compatibility HTML5 of the consortium World Wide Web is a small event.



In its summary table, the W3C indicates that Internet Explorer 9 fact almost a score without fault on the whole of functions HTML5 tested, while granting even the maximum note of 100 % on the majority of enter. The navigator of Microsoft is pursued by Firefox 4 beta 6 and Chromium 7 beta.

Attention all the same, this first test of conformity is far from taking into account the entirety of the standard HTML5, which was not finalized yet. He does not judge either compatibility of the navigators with the future standard CS 3, qu ' one one associates often wrongly with the HTML5.

These results arrive concomitantly at the launching of the sixth préversion for developers of the next navigator of Microsoft. This one (which is not included in beta) precisely proposes a better CS management (2D transforms) as well as the semantic elements of HTML5.

The simple users who would like to throw an eye on these new functions can go on the page of test installation by Microsoft, which proposes news of amusing demonstrations, like a version in SVG (scalable vector graphics, standard graph worked out by the W3C) of the famous play of helicopter.
