IE9 beta about akihabara HOT 5 CLOSED

Seems weird but I'm still trying to find a Win7 PC for working on this issue or a way for running IE9 Beta on Mac or Linux. I hope that someone will help on going in depth on this issue. :(

Any news?

I recommend giving VMware Player or Virtual Box a shot. They are both free and let you run Win7 (or any other OS) on your Linux machine.

They've helped me in testing my code in the past.

Thank you for the suggestion :(
I've seen the bonder game on facebook days ago... I'd just like to know if this issue has been solved or not ;)

BTW, I'm using Parallels - purchased in a bundle a year ago ;)

Sorry :)

OK, if I set the Document Mode to IE9 Standards then the game plays. This is the mode that includes canvas support I think. This is done through the Developer toolbar (F12). But default mode (Quirks Mode) seems to not support canvas.

Even though the game plays, there is no audio. Audio is the big ugly ape for HTML5 so far - no standards, no consistency across browsers and even versions.

So I would say this can be closed, but we should announce that IE9 Beta works only in IE9 Standards mode, and no audio yet.
