To best of my (limited) knowledge there is no way, unfortunately.

Just wait until situation gets better and keep suffering from all that compatibility issues. Cry | :((

Publications say there is a Google plug-in to support HTML5, by how would you enforce it use?

I'm not sure about IE9. You really need to try to know for sure.

The web browser control lets you embed IE in your application, so until IE provides support for the HTML5 features you wnat to visualize, you will be unable to use the WebBrowser control for this purpose.

If you install IE 9[^] you might get what you want. You'll just have to try and see Smile | :)

Maybe using webkit is an alternative

Here is a .Net wrapper control:

Good answer (my 5), but is IE9 bundled with anything? If it works, the software product should require it as a prerequisite.

Espen Harlinn - 20 Jan '11 - 15:48

Thinks it's still in beta/preview or something

SAKryukov - 20 Jan '11 - 16:17

So I'm happy your answers confirms mine. Thank you.

Espen Harlinn - 20 Jan '11 - 16:20

Yes, the three of us making nearly the same answer - so you got a 5+ earlier on.

Solution 3

I'm not to sure about the innards of the web browswer control, but if you have IE9 installed I thought that would also change the HTML5 capabilities of said control. After all isn't the webrowser control just some .NET wrapper to the underlying IE that is already on the system?

What IE version do you have installed on your system? Does the installed IE version on your system handle HTML5 differently from the webbrowser control?

Cheers!

Thank you all I did not realize that the web browser control just emulated IE.

I have IE9 beta installed already and I had not tested viewing the page in IE9 I had been viewing it in Firefox.

It does not display correctly in IE9.
It does in Firefox.

Thank all of you for your responses.

If does not "emulate" IE, it embeds the shared code -- works exactly as currently installed IE.

Manfred R. Bihy - 20 Jan '11 - 15:48

And also IE9's support for HTML5 isn't that good either. Can you elaborate a bit on what the differences in displaying it in Firefox as opposed to IE9 are. Or better yet do you have a linke to an example of your work. That way we could try it out.

Solution 6

I actually found a work around...
For some reason the white space matters in the html that is being rendered and for whatever reason it works in ff and not IE9.
For example this will not work

but this will

To answer my own question I used Webkit which is a firefox engine and it worked great didn't even have to change a line of code.
