Does BlackBerry OS 6's HTML5 implementation support websockets?
There was a page on BB's developer portal where the supported tags were listed, but I can't seem to find it anymore.
Anyone know if websockets are supported?
Thanks
After some testing and research throughout the web, I've come to conclude that websockets are not yet supported on BlackBerry devices.
Although some tests might indicate they're supported, the implementation is just a stub. Too bad.
The list of supported tags can be found here.
Try Mondernizr on your phone to check whether WebSockets are supported.
I think the only browser supporting WebSockets is iOS Safari 4.2.

Please could somebody list the browsers and versions for which the Content-Type: Multipart/X-Mixed-Replace is supported for creating an application based on comet principles. I have read conflicting accounts of its support in Chrome and Internet Explorer - although some reports mention its inclusion in IE 10.
A follow-up question is, how stable is this technology to build real-time applications? I ask because Wikipedia currently lists this Content-Type as experimental.
Thanks in advance!
The page you link to also answers your question. It is supported in FireFox, Chrome and Safari, but not in IE or in Safari on the iPhone. The page doesn't say anything about IE 10, but since it isn't officially released yet, that makes sense.
According to MSDN, though, IE 10 does seem to support Comet streaming.
Apart from IE, it has been around for years (since 1995 actually) and should be very stable. The reason why it is marked experimental, is that it isn't declared an official standard yet.
Apparently Google Analytics already uses this technology and I think they wouldn't if it wasn't stable.
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.
Which is the browser with minimum hardware requirements with full support to HTML5?
The application should be able to play videos and perform some javascript transformations.
Windows or Linux it doesn't matter (but I bet my two cents on Linux as the winner).
Thanks in advance.
You may be putting the cart before the horse here.
There are a lot of "post pc" devices out there that have very low hardware specifications (iPod/iPad/iPhone, various Android devices, Blackberries, Windows Mobile Devices) that can run lightweight, full featured HTML5 browsers based on projects like WebKit (webkit.org).
Following browsers supports HTML5 for better client rendering especially when having flash, video streaming and mobile version of site. browsers: IE 10, Google chrome, Opera, netscape navigator.
I am working in creating a website and I want to check in multiple browsers for Browser Compatibility test automatically by using Automated Test Tool. Do you guys know if there is any software/tool where I can just give a link and it loads the page in multiple browsers?
I've used Browser Shots before and it's ok if you don't mind waiting for an hour or two.
I'd also recommend checking out some of the links on Delicious.
You're looking for litmus, from the people who brought you doctype, part of the League of Justice. 14-day passes to test your layouts in 24 browsers currently cost $39.
I'm a fan of XenoCode's "Spoon Browser Sandbox" myself.
You can use Selenium RC (Selenium 1) or Selenium 2 (WebDriver) for automated test. But You have to record the test using Selenium IDE on Firefox browser and writing some tests on it. Selenium supports FF, Chrome, IE, Safari and Opera.
If the website is publicly visible then there are web based services that you can use such as http://crossbrowsertesting.com/.
If your website is internal only, then you're going to struggle to find support I think. We tried to find one but all we found were services that require a publicly visible website - no good for testing pre-go-live.
Are you talking about a compatible design or compatible JS? Because AJAX functionality is difficult to test with the usual cross-browser tools.
For the latter, look at httpUnit, though I'm not sure it can simulate multiple browsers.
There's Microsoft Expression Web SuperPreview, but I haven't tried it so can't comment on if it's good or not.
Their opening quote makes me laugh though, mainly because of how sucky IE6 is:
About 7 years ago, the browser wars
were over. Internet Explorer had
become the de facto standard, and for
a while, there were very few
compatibility issues in web page
design.
Check it out though, might be worthwhile. Especially if you are a .NET developer, however it might be useful to web developers in general.
Adobe has BrowserLab. It requires an Adobe account (free) and gives you Firefox 2.0 - 3.5 (WinXP, OSX), IE 6-8 (WinXP), Safari 3-4 (OSX) and Chrome 3.0 (WinXP).
I've heard that HTML5 will support open sockets. Does anyone know if it's currently supported in Safari 4? I'm particularly interested in getting sockets to work through the Safari browser of an iPhone.
Thanks in advance,
Josh
Web Sockets were not supported in Safari 4. An iPhone with iOS 4.2 or above includes Web Sockets support in mobile Safari. Check the following page for future reference:
