I guess little if any changes will need to be made to swfobject for html5
- swfobject is js referanced by the page - html5 still has ids - swfobject will still be able to use ids in the same way to replace content just as it currently does I could well be wrong 2009/1/23 philip <[email protected]> > > 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?
