To Research Browser Compatibility with HTML5,
CSS, and JavaScript
In this lab, you will visit various web sites to research browser
compatibility in relation to HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. It's
recommended that you install the major browsers on your platform
according to what browsers are available for that platform. In this
way, you can test each browser with some of the sites that you will
visit.

In this task, you will check your browser's compatibility with HTML5.

1. Open the browser you want to test

2. Visit http://html5test.com

3. Scroll through the page and note the supported aspects of the
browser

4. Try each browser on your system and compare the results. If you
have only one browser, try installing one or two more for this
step. Optionally, if you don't want to install different browsers,
select the "other browsers" tab for a comparison of the major
browser platforms.

5. Visit quirksmode.org and investigate some the current compatibility


tables which list the major browsers and versions

In this task, you will research some information on HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript and the standards that support them. This task is just for
informational purposes. You will encounter tutorials and labs in the
courses in this curriculum that will teach you how to use these
technologies.

Standards are important in this industry as they help to make


compatibility a potential reality across platforms and browsers.
Knowing about them and how to research them is an important skill.
1. Visit http://www.w3.org/standards/webdesign/. On this page, you will
find links to the standards set forth by the W3C, the organization
tasked with managing the standards for HTML and CSS.

2. Click the HTML & CSS link and review the material listed for these
two web technologies.

3. While you don't need to read the specification or be an expert on it,


visit http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-
262.htm to learn more about what ECMA is and how it relates to
JavaScript and the JavaScript standard.
