LightSwitch HTML legacy browser support - cross-browser

I'd like what browser's version are being supported by LightSwitch HTML. For example, do you know if it supports IE8?
Regards,
Luis

No. Lightswitch HTML clients are built on HTML5 and rely heavily on jquery. While jquery 1.x is supported on IE 6+, IE 8 does not support many of the features of HTML5.

I do not need support for older browser then IE11 do I need modernizr?

I have came to know about H5BP and modernizr. now I have developed website which is made in flexbox and I do not want support for older browser then IE11. (coz I do not care for IE 6 to 10).
now I have seen that modernizr detects browser support and tells to add "no-XYZ" class to make it work for older browsers. but I do not want to do that hard work to make it work in IE6 to IE10. should I remove modernizr ? from H5BP ?
I'm already using HTML5SHIV.
Modernizr isn't about letting you use other browsers, it is about letting you know wether or not a feature is enabled in the users current browser. As you add features to your website, check their compatibility on caniuse.com. If it is not stellar support, consider using Modernizr for fallbacks.
HTM5 and CSS3 are the latest versions and have advanced features which are not supported by the older browser engines. To detect these features in browser we will use modernizr library.
Ex :
if (Modernizr.canvas) {
alert("This browser supports HTML5 canvas!");
} else{
alert("This browser does not supports HTML5 canvas!");
}

Ember.js browser support?

Is there a documented list of desktop browsers and versions which support Ember.js apps? That is, if I say an app developed in Ember.js will support IE 9+, FF 11+, Chrome 17+, Safari 5+, will I be overreaching or underreaching? If support is fluid, what does it depend on?
When doing new releases we run tests across all platforms available on BrowserStack. We have a couple test failures on some of the older platforms, but in practice they all do work. The biggest concern if you support older versions of IE is performance. However, it should still work properly. It definitely supports all modern browsers and mobile platforms, though built in touch support is limited.
It has been announced that Ember 2.0 will support IE9+, and that the 1.13.x series will be the last version to support IE 8.
Browser Supportability For Ember 2.x
Base on the Github README, https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/
The following browsers versions are supported.

HTML5 Application Cache not working in ie8+ so need its alternatives for ie

HTML5 Application Cache not working in ie8+, so i need some of the solution which makes my resource available even in offline mode in ie8+ browsers, in all other browsers the html5 appcache is working fine, only had problem with ie, so need solution for ie8+.
Try this: Researching HTML5 Offline. They suggest Google Gears, even though it's deprecated (post is from August 2010).
Ie 8 and all 8+ versions does not support html5 offline cache, and even 9 does not support this but recently 10 has a developer document which has this support.

What can be used of HTML5 today?

What are the features of HTML5 that can be reliably used today?
Microsoft has some cool HTML5 demos, but what part of it is classic EEE and what is them catching up?
Example of useful feature I found on SO: pushState.
Please give more thought than a page with comprehensive lists of tags and attributes of HTML5.
#Jan Zyka's http://slides.html5rocks.com answer is a great example. (Thank you!)
What are you actually using in production code today?
There is a site called When can I use... which lists a variety of HTML5, CSS3, and other modern web standards, and gives an indication of which browser versions support it.
Whether or not you can use a feature depends a lot on who your users are. If you're targeting cutting-edge web developers, then you can likely rely on them having much later versions of browsers than if you're targeting corporate accounting. So, you will need to decide which browser versions you must support, and do appropriate progressive enhancement or fallback to support older browsers while introducing newer features that they don't support.
Some HTML5, CSS3, and other features can be used in older browsers using "polyfills," which are implementations of missing features using JavaScript, Flash, proprietary features, and the like. For instance, you can use <canvas> elements in older versions of Internet Explorer by using ExplorerCanvas, which implements the HTML5 <canvas> element using JavaScript and Microsoft's proprietary VML. The "When can I use..." site lists polyfills for many features, so check the polyfills checkbox if you're willing to use polyfills.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/HTML5 (what is implemented in Firefox)
List of HTML5 features that are implemented in IE8:
<meta charset="UTF-8">
the contenteditable attribute (making any HTML element editable)
the autocomplete attribute on form elements
the onhashchange event
drag and drop
data-* attributes
List of HTML5 features that are implemented in IE9 (additionally):
<canvas>
getElementsByClassName
<video> and <audio>
the new semantic elements(<section>, <article>, etc.)
inline SVG
Note: all of the above are implemented in the modern browsers.
Check out http://slides.html5rocks.com/. It's really nice and updated regularly.
But don't try it in IE8 otherwise you might be disappointed ;-)
This page on the Browserscope website lets you choose versions of the same or different browsers (both desktop & mobile) & see how they stack up in supporting HTML5 features.

Can I use html5 in my mobile website?

I must create a web site optimised for mobile devices, can I use html5 and css3?
What are the main limitations?
Which devices are compatible? (IOS, Android...)
Regards
Yes - to a degree. The website http://caniuse.com/ details HTML5 availability for the following browsers:
iOS Safari
Opera Mini
Opera Mobile
Android Browser
You can, with some limitations. Basically you'd better use some "pre-cooked" framework like Senche Touch or jQuery Mobile.
Simple answer: the best support for HTML5 in mobile phones is given by iOS and Android browsers.
Yes you can! and about compatibity... it depends on the browser... the new versions of safari that run on the iOs 4++ support html 5...
iOS and Android will both support HTML5 and CSS3 (and well). You'll run into some problems with windows mobile (which runs a modified version of ie7)
Back in April, sources announced that LG would be the first company to launch an HTML5 compatible browser.
Where this was over 6 months ago, I haven't been able to find any other sources that woukd indicate whether any phone browsers would support it.
The best thing to do would to point your mobile device (or emulate one) to a site made with HTML5.
After a little more research I found this quote from the apple.com site.
"Every new Apple mobile device and every new Mac — along with the latest version of Apple’s >Safari web browser — supports web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript."
Also for Android, check this page.
