Checking HTML5 Compatibility

The HTML5 standard reached the recommendation phase on October 28th, 2014.

Before creating a web application, it is worth it to check how certain browsers support the HTML5 markup set you intend to use. There are many tools and web sites providing information about it. One of my favorites is http://html5test.com/, which allows you to compare browsers as well as focus on specific features, such as audio codec support, semantic elements, and many others.

The image given below shows a view that compares Chrome 45, Internet Explorer 11, Edge, and Firefox 40 by means of field type support.
