The internet with HTML5 and CSS3 is very impressive - see this gradient webapp

Hi all,
HTML5 and CSS3 is very well supported in all modern browsers. The Apple browser, here I think about Safari, is using the same engine as Google Chrome which is webkit. Webkit is being used in many places as it is an open source engine. Apple iPhone (and any other safari browser in any other newer Apple product, for instance iPad) and Android operating system in fact is also using it!

The trend out there in the HTML forums is to aim for the best (HTML5 and CSS3) and then catch the older browsers with javascript code. Many of the newer features of HTML5 and CSS3 can be safely used even down to MSIE 6 (which most people in the HTML forums hate). Think about it: Google maps has been around for a long time and that is a proof that vector graphics is possibel in browsers. Through browser sniffing Google have for a long time drawn in lines and such on their google maps in the browser. And as for MSIE browsers they have for a long long time been supporting VML (Vector Markup Language) an early state of SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics).

SVG is also comming and that is so cool IMHO :-)

So my hopes are that my favourite graphics program: Xara Designer Pro 7 in future will be able to do such true web related exports when it saves a HTML version of a drawing.

Here is another example of a HTML5/CSS3 webapp which is a tool for generating "CSS3 animation paths", that is how an animation should evolve from start to end. http://cubic-bezier.com/#.8,.03,.43,.95
What this shows is also that you today can use HTML5/CSS3 now - the webapp is it self made in HTML5.
