Browser vs. Standards Reference Chart/Table

Anyone know where to find one?

[gethan]

I've looked all over for and haven't found this:

Browser ¦ IE4 ¦ IE5 ¦ IE6 ¦ Moz 1 ¦ NS4.7 ¦ Opera 6 
HTML ¦ 4.0 ¦ 4.0 ¦ 4.0 ¦ 4.0 ¦ 3.2 ¦ 4.0 
XHTML ¦ x ¦ 1.0 ¦ 1.0 ¦ 1.0 ¦ x ¦ 1.0 
CSS ¦ 1 ¦ 1 ¦ 2 ¦ 2 ¦ x ¦ 2 
XSLT ¦ x ¦ x ¦ Y ¦ Y ¦ x ¦ x 
JS etc... 

Basically a table of which standards which browsers support. Found huge amounts of low level information on which browsers support which individual elements of CSS2 for example. I know there are a huge number of caveats - some CSS2 elements supported and others not etc... but at a high level this information would be useful.

Does anyone know where one is? (Is there one?)

Here's one from Webmonkey...

Browser Chart [hotwired.lycos.com]

There are many others. I did a search for browser support chart.

Thanks pageoneresults ... I searched for "browser standards chart" and various others - didn't get what I needed though - that one is just the job.

I'd be very, very wary of information in this chart. It's too simplistic.

For instance, saying that Opera 6 supports Javascript leaves out the fact that in that version, Javascript/DOM support is significantly incomplete. I've found that few scripted pages which run well in IE and NN will run in Opera 6.

Opera 7's a lot better but still aberrant compared to IE and NN.

Beware! And check things out for yourself.

Amen, it also doesn't take Opera 6 and IE 5's half baked CSS implementations into consideration either. There is much more than meets the eye on almost all of those headings.

I found a better one here:- [webreview.com ]

Lists versions of jscript and qualifies things a little more.

I'm totally aware that I need to test - but for an IT manager asking which standards to develop for - HTML 3.2 vs. HTML 4, CSS1 vs. CSS2 this type of chart provides some backup to those decisions.

This is a good chart - but it is about time they updated it, don't you think? We're looking for IE 7.0 this year and they've only take Explorer up to version 5.5.

Also AOL should definitely be represented beyond version 3, especially with all the experiments they've been doing on the Mac platform and with their Compuserve customers.

Still, it's a solid resource.

In line with this whole discussion, I find it really, really hard to find good statistics as far as browser usage.

Anybody got any tips?

Hi ficfink,

There was a discussion here [webmasterworld.com] on that exact subject.

It's got some links to sites with a lot of statistics on browser usage. thecounter would be my personal favourite.
