HTML5 Testing results
Out of curiosity I wanted to perform some “HTML5 compliant” tests on the various browsers that we use daily.
Fortunately there is a web-site to test such compliance, it’s called www.html5test.com. I tested aganist the most popular browsers in Windows 7, the iPhone and the iPad.
Here are the results: (Total possible score is 160)

Big winner: Chrome (142), by far!
Big loser: IE8 (19). I knew HTML5 support would be lacking on IE8, but I didn’t know how bad. The only browser that scored lower was Opera on the iPhone, but I had no expectation of any decent score there. I expected IE8 to be at least in the 80s.
Big surprise: FireFox (101). Since Firefox doesn’t “officially” support HTML5 I would have guessed it’s score to be just slightly better than IE8. But, it’s 101 score places it just marginally behind Safari.
