This looks pretty amazing ... in Firefox. I tried Chrome, but no luck. Is that because Chrome doesn't support HTML5 as completely as Firefox?

It worked pretty much most of the time in Chrome for me. There were a couple of demos that didn't work.

But this thing looks really nice. I love the website design, as well.

Interesting. Are you using Chrome for Windows, perhaps? I'm using Chrome for Mac (5.0.375.29), and all that happens when I click "See it in action" is that the page is scrolled to the top.

Doesn't work for me (Chrome nightly build on the Mac). Didn't work in the Chrome mac production build either.

For anything web related, no matter how slick it is, if it doesn't work on a few browsers, it won't get adoption unless you run a website that only caters to specific browsers on a specific platform (like a website that can only be accessed on an iPad device).

Yes, I am. 5.0.342.9 beta for windows

edit: Actually now I'm using 5.0.375.29 beta (I just upgraded)

and it's still pretty much working the same way

I was wondering about browser support myself, and found this to be informative: http://www.deepbluesky.com/blog/-/browser-support-for-css3-a...

I get "Uncaught Error: INVALID_STATE_ERR: DOM Exception 11" in Mac Chrome 5.0.375.17. (Uh, wait...we're using HN for bug reports now?)

WebKit (Safari, Chrome etc.) has more complete and more robust HTML5 support than FF. What you're seeing is a Chrome-specific issue, as it works just perfectly in Safari.

Safari on the desktop perhaps.

All the demos I've tried so far are broken on the iPad and iPhone. Has anyone had any success with Android?

I tested it on Android 1.6. It's broken alright.
