Is GOLD HTML5 Compatible?

[NC Software]

I'm going to want to make my site HTML5 and use HTML5 content for image animations, etc. Is GOLD compatible with HTML5? I am going to use Adobe Edge Animate for home page content, etc. and need to be sure HTML5 is not an issue.

Your welcome to download the evaluation and see if it works with Adobe Edge Animate. But, based on some info I found at this site -

It might be a little early for AC Gold...

Browser Support for HTML5 -

HTML5 is not yet an official standard, and no browsers have full HTML5 support.

But all major browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer) continue to add new HTML5 features to their latest versions.

Browser support is fine, I've been creating and testing my work in Edge Animate. I need to know if AC GOLD is HTML5 compatible. Thank you.

It is not clear what you mean from 'compatible'. If it means the ability to work with HTML5 pages in AC Gold then yes AC is HTML5 compatible. You are not restricted in any way from working on pages that emit HTML5 output.

If 'compatible' means AC Gold to be itself emitting HTML5 pages, then the answer is no. AC Gold is not emitting HTML5 but at the same time it will not prevent you from doing so.

If I change the tag at the top of the root layout or any web page to just be < HTML > for HTML5 doc type, will that break anything? Obviously I will need to test the Edge Animate work, it may be strictly .js and not rely on HTML5, I've just started working with it. But HTML5 does have some great capabilities if people want to use it so I'm curious if the doc type changes will break anything.

We haven't tried doing this. But our understanding is that interpretation/parsing of HTML is up to the browser. Its a client side concern. If the browser recognizes and parses these documents correctly, the server-side should have be no problems... but you never know. It could be that ASP.NET engine that parses aspx files on the server side complains about something.
