Which ie version support html5

As a whole, this represents the current state of HTML5 forms. The charts below list the most current version of each major browser. The individual pages e. If you intended to write JavaScript to mimic the functionality of HTML5 forms, you may want to first test the current browsers capability and write the JavaScript as a fallback. Below is how you might test for attribute support.

Not true. Sergey Zhuravel. To found out if your browser supports one of HTML5 features you can make manual test or use special lib for example as Modernizr for tests. Also there are special libs to make your old browser I think even ie6 a better one, so it will understand new html5 tags and even some js functionality.

Rob Crowther. HTML5 is designed to be backwards compatible as possible. Since these elements have no actual functionality defining whether they're supported or not is a bit of a non-issue apart from the fact that IE8 and earlier have a bug which prevents any CSS being applied to an unknown element. There are well know workarounds for this and it's covered in chapter 1 of Hello! The other thing they may mean is that IE doesn't support all HTML5 features, and that's true, but it's also true for every other browser.

There is great competition among browser vendors today to get all the new stuff implemented and this is a good thing. Chrome Frame is no longer supported and retired as of February 25, — Ricardo. James Donnelly k 33 33 gold badges silver badges bronze badges.

Is there a reference article where you found this? Sorry, included it for my form validation but did not work. Is there any link where we could find out more about how to get it working? Thanks, that worked for my section element, I removed all the rest. Where from do you know this? Show 2 more comments. John John Should point out that this doesn't help with certain JavaScript usages. I ran into the problem using jQuery and have been trying to figure out what's going on in IE.

Nitpick: the script is called "shiv" as in hand-made prison knife , not "shim". Well, to be totally pedantic, the author uses both "shim" and "shiv". The project is called "html5shim". Quoting from code. Answer: nothing, one has an m and one has a v - that's it. Simon Simon 3, 1 1 gold badge 34 34 silver badges 48 48 bronze badges.

Can't believe this got so many down votes. Modernizr may not add any functionality to the browser, but along with lots of other useful stuff it does include the HTML5 Shim functionality, which has been mentioned in other answers here, and has been given good scores. Modernizer combined with polyfill modernizr. JavaScript must be enabled, though. Can't believe this got so many up votes. Modernizr includes an additional library called shiv which makes ie understand HTML5 tags plus modernizr includes feature detection but it has nothing to do with html5.

So if you want ie to understand html5 it's MORE logical to use shiv since Modernizr would be overkill. Basically, Modernizr is NOT a great option as you suggested. Re the upper comment - it does give support to old IEs to render the document properly, it may not give the html5 player functionality or the 3d rendering and ext. It also fixes some issues with the rendering and extends a bit the css support: adding rgba support and other stuff by adding filters, which eases the developer life - these trivial things that nowadays always must be written to cover the old buggy microsoft browsers Justin Justin 8, 4 4 gold badges 36 36 silver badges 41 41 bronze badges.
