HTML 5 when can we use it – September
I have had a few people ask about the new and exciting html5. Whilst it has some great features like animations and transitions its still a long way off from working in all the browsers – W3 say 2014.
Meanwhile some of the html5 features can be used to make your site more user friendly and “cool”. For example I have added transitions to my menu and image buttons – this isn’t html5 exactly: its css3 but it all comes under the “new/3.0” web banner.
If your thinking about a certain html5 feature just ask, it really comes down to your customers browsers. If they still use IE then no way but if they are young and modern then a little html5 is okay.
Browser stats
| 2012 | Internet Explorer | Firefox | Chrome | Safari | Opera |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| July | 16.3 % | 33.7 % | 42.9 % | 3.9 % | 2.1 % |
Acording to W3 Internet Explorer is really taking a nose dive. At this rate another year and it wont be used at all.
