Implementation of new web technologies such as HTML5 and CSS3 open a new chapter in internet and web design. They offer numerous new functions to meet today’s web demands. Now you can enjoy video, audio, games, offline access to email, and much more on your browser without separate codec or plug-in. Moreover, all major web browsers now support HTML5 and CSS3.
Like Microsoft’s demo site ‘Explore a more beautiful web’ for their newest browser IE 9, Mozilla has also started a demo site for showing what their next browser Firefox 4 can do with modern web technologies like CSS3, HTML5, WebGL, etc. The latest example is an awesome online planetarium where you can learn a variety of interesting facts about our Solar System.
Internet Explore still has widest usage share in the world than other browsers. But one of the biggest problems of Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 is that it can’t display the latest CSS3 elements such as rounded corner, gradient, soft drop shadows, etc properly (though IE 9 will support it). IE still requires the old complex sprite images, extra non-semantic markup, and large JavaScript libraries to display such styling features.
Mozilla in partnership with the Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) offering you an opportunity to learn HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS for free at the School of Webcraft. The classes are globally accessible online for all experience levels.
Microsoft just released the first beta version of their upcoming browser Internet Explorer 9. This new release comes with tons of new features along with a new, slim user interface. The new design has intuitive navigation, fewer dialogue boxes, and many new features to speed up your web browsing experience. However, Internet Explorer 9 supports Windows 7 and Vista only.
Microsoft has just released a developer preview of Internet Explorer 9 (IE9), their latest web browser for test drive. It comes with support for HTML5, CSS3 and SVG2 standards.
