Do you mean html 5? I've been wondering about doing something about getting
edbrowse to do html5 for a while, but work and life have somewhat got in the way.
To be honest, I wonder if this isn't a good moment to seriously consider
implementing a proper DOM and possibly work out how to plug in all the other
things that we need to keep edbrowse usable in the increasingly js-heavy
internet environment.
I'm particularly thinking of ajax etc which are increasingly used,
as well as all the possibilities of html 5 (which can be used to do things
previously only done with flash and other such technologies).
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Adam.
