Hey Bobby and Geoff Was just wondering what the plans are for handling HTML 5 now that some bleeding-edge developers are starting to use it.
HTML 5 sites: * An Event Apart (by Meyer & Zeldman http://aneventapart.com/) * UX London (http://uxlondon.com/) * Bruce Lawson (http://www.brucelawson.co.uk/) * Anne van Kesteren (http://annevankesteren.nl/2009/01/moving-the- goalposts) * Sam Ruby (http://intertwingly.net/blog/) * and others (Links to more HTML 5 sites can be found at http://ishtml5readyyet.com/ and in Jeremy Keith's blog http://adactio.com/journal/1540) How will HTML 5 affect SWFObject? I'm not really sure yet. One observation I'd like to point out is that Anne's HTML 5 site has no <head> or <body> elements. Is this valid HTML 5? Doesn't appear to be (http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/ semantics.html). But if it is, it will break SWFObject's createCSS method, which relies on a <head> element. I'm wondering what other aspects of the script might be affected, such as valid attributes for <object> and how the domready event could be affected. I know it's hard to develop a solid JS library like SWFObject for a specification that isn't even official yet, but if people are starting to use HTML 5 in the real world, maybe we should look at supporting it sooner rather than later. Looking forward to the conversation. :) - philip --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SWFObject" group.
