Notes:
If you are using the WebWindow browser, then the above information will change, depending on which 'IE mode' you are using. The higher the IE mode, the more features you can use.
The Browser lookup name is worked out by looking at the userAgent string.
JavaScript has a feature called data tainting, that retains the security restriction but provides a means of secure access to specific components on a page.
Data tainting is usually off when you first use or install a new browser. When enabled in the options window, JavaScript in one window can see properties of another window, no matter what server the other window's document was loaded from.
A shockwave flash file, can be used in a web page to display features that standard HTML code or JavaScript code can't.
Eg. Display animated images,play music,play videos,play games,etc. etc.
HTML5 supports the CANVAS tag, to draw lines, circles, images, text an any angle, etc.
HTML5 supports the AUDIO/VIDEO tags, to play the files in a web page.
Internet Explorer users can disable the sound in the Internet options advanced tab.
Older browsers could use the EMBED tag to insert a audio or video file on the page.
Web workers is JavaScript script, executed from a HTML page that runs in the background.
Independently of other user-interface scripts, that may also have been executed from the same HTML page.
Web workers are able to utilise multi-core CPU's more effectively.
Off-line web applications are web pages that can be viewed and used off-line. Although most pages can be viewed off-line by reading them from your hard drive,a USB memory stick,a CD-ROM etc.
This term refers to pages thatcan still be used off-line,that use some of the following features:
Application cache, to specify resources that the browser should cache and make available to offline users.
Users should be able to see the amount of disk space used by each domain.
New input types have been added with HTML5, to give better input control and validation with different types of form input. Input placeholder,displays some text in light grey in an empty input box,before the user has entered any text.Useful for giving the user a hint of what to enter. Input auto focus,tells the browser where the input focus should be when the page loads.
Microdata is a way to label content to describe a specific type of information.
The HTML5 history API, is a standardised way to manipulate the browser history using JavaScript.
If your browser supports the Geo Location code, then you may need to enable it for every new Web site you visit and / or in the browser options window.
If you have Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 or later installed then:
If you have the IE mode set to IE8 or above then;
Product name will be Netscape and not Microsoft Internet Explorer.

VBScript will be disabled.
Script engine version will be unknown and not version 7.
