Some people say that IE9 is the second revolution of Microsoft. I think this statement is not true at all. Starting from IE6, IE has not been updated so thoroughly. It fully supports DOM level 2, fully supports CSS2.1, and the interface is more streamlined. ...Of course, what we are most concerned about is how well IE9 supports HTML5 and CSS3~~
In Microsoft’s own ietestcenter website, we saw this chart:
When I saw this picture, I felt so big, and I was thinking, is IE9 so awesome? After carefully reading the description, it became clear that the test projects here are only entries submitted by Microsoft to the W3C, and are not complete content. For example, in CSS3, only 5 technologies are included here, not all CSS3 content - strong BS After looking at Microsoft, I almost fell for it...
In fact, it is very simple to know a browser’s support for HTML5/CSS3. Modernizr introduced in the previous article is a very good tool. I am lazy here and directly use findmebyip to see IE9beta. Support for them:
It can be seen that the current support of IE9beta for new CSS3 features is still very weak.
IE9 finally fully supports CSS selectors!
IE9beta’s support for new HTML5 features is also incomplete, and its audio and video support is very weak. Although the IE team stated that it will support WebM, so far, it has not been implemented (PS: It shows in the test of the HTML5test.com website , IE9beta supports H.264 format video). In addition, support for SVG is one of Microsoft’s benchmarks for external promotion of IE9. However, How good is IE9’s support for SVG? Let’s go and see King Dao ! PS: IE6-IE8 do not support SVG, so related technology applications must use Microsoft's own VML instead under IE.
IE9’s support for HTML5 forms has always been what I am most concerned about. If the final official version of IE still does not support HTML5 forms, then this is definitely a failed browser.
Actually, we know that IE9 has made great progress, but some of its performances prevent us from having too much hope in it. For example, hardware acceleration is a great feature, which can make the browser render faster, but Even without hardware acceleration, Chrome is already so fast. And I really can’t figure out why hardware acceleration requires DirectX 9, and it must be a Windows 7 system. Compared with webkit’s webGL acceleration, this strategy does not have many advantages, unless Microsoft can upgrade all XP users to Windows 7!
Well, I just did a little review. I hope IE can be released and updated in a better way. The coexistence of four versions of IE6-IE9 will make people crazy...
