And for Chrome v4.0.249.78 and v4.0.249,89 (most recent update) detects
on Windows XP sp3 as follows:

Changes from Mac in red. I added some of the other tests listed on the

How about a poll: Go to http://diveintohtml5.org/detect.html which
helps detect your browser's html5 capabilities. Note the ogg video
and Marcus's reference:

Here are mine (Safari 4.0.3):
#1: Geolocation: Yup, shows a map using the info.
#2: Canvas: Yes, Produces "Your browser supports the canvas API."
#3: Video: Half, Produces "Your browser can play H.264 video, but not
Ogg Theora video".
#4: Input types: 5 out of 13, Produces "Your browser supports the
following HTML5 input types: search, tel, url,email, number, range"
Using Chrome, 5.0.307.7 beta for Mac:
#1: Geolocation: No.
#2: Canvas: Yes
#3: Video: All, Produces "Your browser can play both Ogg Theora and
H.264 video".
#4: Input types: 13 out of 13, Produces "Your browser supports the
following HTML5 input types: search, tel,url, email, datetime,
date,month, week, time, datetime-local, number, range, color"
Using Firefox 3.6 for Mac:
#1: Geolocation: Yes, w/ security prompt.
#2: Canvas: Yes
#3: Video: Half, Produces "Your browser can play Ogg Theora video, but
not H.264 video".
#4: Input types: None, Produces "Your browser does not support any
HTML5 input types"
It looks like Google's Chrome is soon going to be my desktop/laptop
browser, judging from its html5 support. Ironic that it does not yet
have geolocation, considering the other two browsers use it to pop up
a google map! Then the iPad and lappy will be html5 ready! I hope
Apple goes to both video formats with ogg.

need Flash.
