Conformance

We tested our site using Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. We have listed the non-supported elements and oddities that we found per page down below.

• General
  • Page is completely left-aligned in IE versions 5 - 8
  • Some of the navbar styling is gone in IE versions 5 - 8
  • Spacing is less consistent for certain Unicode characters e.g. Chinese characters
  • Text, headers, etc. in IE versions 8 and below are generally much larger than in Chrome and Firefox.
• Formatting
  • datetime attribute is inconsistent for different elements. e.g. ins and time. datetime=”2015-04-20 17:00” is valid when inside a time tag but is not valid when inside a ins tag.
  • Firefox uses a dotted underline to indicate HTML elements with the title attribute; IE and Chrome do not.
• Forms
  • Each browser has its own styling for certain HTML elements. For instance, the progress bar in IE looks very different from the progress bar in Chrome and Firefox.
• Images
  • No noticeable differences.
• Layouts
  • No noticeable differences
• Lists
  • No noticeable differences
• Media
  • Internet Explorer does not support webm video format.
  • Mozilla Firefox does not support track tag.
• Ruby
  • The rb and rtc tags are specified in the HTML5 specification, but using them according to the specification does not pass the validation.
• Scripts
  • On Windows 8, the JavaScript alert triggers a soundfile. No sound is triggered when the alert occurs in Chrome or Firefox.
  • Firefox dims the rest of the page on alert.
  • IE displays the alert in the middle of the screen, regardless of browser size or position. Chrome and Firefox both display the alert vertically-centered within the browser.
  • Template tag does not work in IE i.e. none of the data served up is displayed.
• Style
  • bdi does not pass conformance validation, there it was not included.
• Tables
