IE9beta version browser supports HTML5/CSS3

Some people say that IE9 is Microsoft's second revolution. I think this is not an exaggeration. Since IE6, IE has never been updated so thoroughly. It fully supports DOM level 2, fully supports CSS2.1, and has a more streamlined interface... Of course, what we are most concerned about is how IE9 supports HTML5 and CSS3.

On Microsoft's own ietestcenter website, we saw this chart:

When I saw this picture, I felt very stressed and wondered, is IE9 really that awesome? After reading the instructions carefully, I realized that the test items here are just the items submitted by Microsoft to W3C, not the complete content. For example, in CSS3, it only includes 5 technologies, not all CSS3 content - I strongly BS Microsoft, I almost fell for it...

In fact, it is very simple to understand a browser's support for HTML5/CSS3. Modernizr introduced in the previous article is a very good tool. I will be lazy here and directly visit findmebyip to see IE9beta's support for them:

IE9 supports new CSS3 features:

It can be seen that the current IE9beta's support for new CSS3 features is still very weak.

IE9 supports CSS3 selectors:

IE9 finally supports CSS selectors more completely!

IE9 supports new features of HTML5:

IE9beta's support for new HTML5 features is also incomplete, and its audio and video support is very weak. Although the IE team said it will support WebM, it has not yet been implemented (PS: The test on the HTML5test.com website shows that IE9beta supports H.264 format video). In addition, support for SVG is one of the benchmarks that Microsoft uses to promote IE9. But how good is IE9's support for SVG? Let’s go and take a look at Wang Dao ! PS: IE6-IE8 do not support SVG, so the related technology application in IE must use Microsoft's own VML instead.

IE9 support for HTML5 forms:

IE9's support for HTML5 forms has always been my biggest concern. If the final official version of IE still does not support HTML5 forms, then this is definitely a failed browser.

In fact, we know that IE9 has made great progress, but some of its performances make us dare not have too much hope for it. For example, hardware acceleration is a great feature that can make the browser render faster, but even without hardware acceleration, Chrome is already so fast. I really can't understand why hardware acceleration must require DirectX 9+, and must be on Windows 7. Compared with WebKit's WebGL acceleration, this strategy doesn't have much advantage, unless Microsoft can upgrade all XP users to Windows 7!

Well, I did a simple review. I hope IE can be released and updated in a better way. The coexistence of four versions from IE6 to IE9 will drive people crazy...
