What gives here?? Okay, I’m using FF 3.6.25 and when I go to YouTube to watch a video in HTML5 (I’ve turned off Flash plugins to test this), it tells me that I don’t have an HTML5 browser.

But as the article I linked to says, it could be the way your HTML markup is laid out. I can't say since I can't see it.

But this isn't a fix i can use because of the high volume of users we have in our domain. If somehow i can script it within a logon script, but my knowledge about that is very very slim :-) Kind Regards Hi Ian,

First of all is everyone definitely using Firefox 3.5.5, since Firefox 5 is the latest version? I did a bit of investigating and apparently this issue also occurred between 3.6 and 4, due to stricter parsing rules. You can read about it at: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/828483 where there's also a suggested JavaScript solution which might be worth trying. But it also sounds like altering the markup might also help fix this. I don't know what your markup looks like though so it's hard to say. Let me know how that goes. Hope it helps. Regards, Ian Hi Jan,

The thing is, the website uses radio buttons. these radio buttons are making it easy for them how to determine their it related problems: for example: Desktop/Terminal issu Printin issue, domotics issue etc... The thing is: In firefox some of our users have to double click such radio button, otherwise it just checks of to the standard choice... The other part of the users just can click it once and the button is highlighted. I found out that when i set the html5.parser.enable to false in a user's profile, this user doesn't have to click twice anymore on the radiobutton to highlight it... The other strange thing i found out: not every user on the same server with te same version of firefox(3.5.5) has this html5.parser.enable option in the about:config My question to you: Is their another way around this problem then manually change alle the user profiles with this "double click problem"? Tnx in advance Jan Luijten Hi Ian, i have a question about the html5.parser

Korpela Wed, 09 Mar 2011 16:03:40 +0000 http://www.iandevlin.com/blog/?p=430#comment-1515 Thanks for the quick reply. I wonder if this means that a thing will now trigger a parsing mode different from the mode used for other documents. (And how can one tell the difference?) Or does it just mean that Firefox now simply uses the HTML5 parser, for all documents? Thanks for the quick reply.
