I am trying to study the compatibility of current web standards:

  • HTML5 > FOUND
  • XHTML
  • CSS3 > FOUND
  • HTML DOM > FOUND
  • JavaScript
  • XML
  • AJAX (I know this is not a standard but I would like to include it in the list to compare)

with current browsers:

  • Mozilla Firefox 4.0
  • Google Chrome 10.0
  • Apple Safari 5.0.4
  • Opera 11.01
  • Internet Explorer 9.0

Does anyoby have some data about these compatibilities? It's for a thesis and I would like to divide my text into a division for each standard, comparing that standard's features amongst the 5 browsers to see how good those browsers support that standard's features and possibilities. A good example for HTML5 is: HTML5 comparison jpg

Thanks!

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

Here you can see full list of compatibilities of the different engines:

That's a good beginning but I a need a more general comparison of the key features like in my jpg-hyperlink + I need it from the other standards as well. So due to the layout engines, Chrome and Safari would have the same compatibility because they both have the WebKit layout engine? – Dimitri Lemmens Apr 8 '11 at 12:10
Yes, they have the same layout engine (WebKit), but not necessarily the same release version – AlbertoFEM Apr 8 '11 at 12:25
aah ok that's why there are still some differences... Thanks! – Dimitri Lemmens Apr 8 '11 at 12:27
would you mind explaining more on what it does and what it's good for? "Link-only answers" are not quite welcome at Stack Exchange – gnat Apr 15 at 3:36
