HTML 5 banners?

[Big Dave]

Trousers, can the site support a HTML5 banner ad?

Basically a div tag containing a link to the external data?

No idea when vbulletin are going to move to HTML5. At the moment the answer is no.

Tiz the browser that decides whether or not the HTML5 tag will be seen on the site, not the page serving it. T'internet is your friend and here's a start (http://deepbluesky.com/blog/-/browser-support-for-css3-and-html5_72/). Failing that search for "HTML5 REQUIREDTAG browser support (or specific browser)" for more info on who won't be able to see it. IE sucks ass although they are catching from from IE9 onwards. Failing that you have to add tags for both.

I'm thinkin' the question was more to do with "If we were to drop you an HTML 5 banner ad, would it be able to slip right into the back end and be displayed elegantly on the site without requiring you to do a whole bunch of code voodoo to make sure it doesn't break other shit?"

And

The answer was/is "No."


If i'm wrong then as you were, and no harm done eh?

Fair enough... although content management engines only serve html to the browser and should be able to render any tag you decide to ask it to render. But I could be wrong given that I haven't used all of the content management engines.

Yeah - it's about what vb will let you put in its holes. :-)

html 5 tags don't appear to work in posts either.

Hmmmm, what an unpleasant surprise.

The final stage of assembling a web page in vbulletin is to pass it all through a filter that removes anything that could be dangerous, including embedded html that isn't an a, img etc. Mainly for security reasons.
