Revised, July 2014 – Please see my update on dropping the HTML5 shim.
Having managed to get the HTML5 website working in all the popular browsers, I ran a test on a larger number of browsers and operating systems with the following result: If you are running the latest version of any major browser – it almost certainly works.It even works on my mobile phone, which is running an old version of Windows mobile.
If you are using a different browser to those listed below, please get in touch to tell me how things look. I will be experimenting with the fixes to see if more browser coverage can be achieved.
More detail on the results can be found below.
