The Web Platform and Tools team is very pleased to announce the first Web Standards Update for Visual Studio SP1. It updates the HTML5 intellisense and validation to reflect the latest W3C specifications and fixes some bugs bugs in the current SP1 support for HTML5. Also JavaScript intellisense it updated to reflect many of the new browser capabilities such as Geolocation and DOM storage. Finally, this update adds comprehensive CSS3 intellisense and validation based on the latest specifications from W3C.
While waiting for the update....so What's New ?
HTML 5 features
Browser APIs
- Geo-Location - Location aware websites are a clear, growing trend and now you've got full intellisense and validation within Visual Studio. For a nice sample, view source on the IE9 test drive demo.
- Local Storage – IE has been supporting local storage from IE8, so now Visual Studio will provide you with full-fidelity intellisense to create sites which can save state within the browser. For sample of this, do a view source on HTML5 Demo Site
CSS3
Additionally, if you are trying to make websites which work on a variety of platforms and browsers you will love the fact that Web Standards Update not only supports IE specific prefixes like –ms; but also other vendor prefixes like –webkit and –moz.
