Modernizr -- how HTML5-ish is Your Browser?

Owen Densmore

With HTML5 becoming so important, its nice to view capabilities within the browsers .. how close they are to capturing all of HTML5.

Earlier we discussed the Dive Into HTML5 site:
    http://diveintohtml5.org/ 
which also has a book, HTML5 Up And Running:
    http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596806033 
Note that if you want electronic, OReilly has a $9.99 discount code DDHUR that includes every ebook format, not just kindle .. and they upgrade for free!  Weird, versioning for ebooks, I guess.

Mark Pilgrim, the author, has stunts on his web site/book for detecting browser capabilities, but also recommends:

I used the above on Firefox, Safari, Chrome, here are the results:

HTML5 is pretty close to being available on all modern browsers.  IE9 is reported to be the best, but I don't have it on my system.
