HTML 5 Canvas Experiment Hints At Things To Come

Posted by timothy on from the faux-phlash dept.

An anonymous reader writes with an interesting and impressive demonstration of modern browsers' HTML 5 capabilities. "From the 9elements blog: 'HTML5 is getting a lot of love lately. With the arrival of Firefox 3.5, Safari 4 and the new 3.0 beta of Google Chrome, browsers support some great new features including canvas and the new audio/video tags. [...] We've created a little experiment which loads 100 tweets related to HTML 5 and displays them using a javascript-based particle engine.' The site warns "(beware: sophisticated browser needed)"; Firefox 3.5 seems to work fine.

    Awesome? Could somebody verify this runs under IE8, IE7 and IE6 ? If the answer is nope, then this functionality is exactly "vapor-web", albeit aspirational.

    That's nice. Fuck them. If they want to live in the past and use ancient software, they really can't bitch about incompatibilities. There's absolutely nothing preventing them from upgrading to IE7 or 8.
