Google has utilized a standard HTML5 technique to make this work.<br /><br />"if this is an html5-feature, how can it be limited to one browser?"<br /><br />That's simple. Not every browser supports all HTML5 features. Browsers have been rolling out support for HTML5 over time... a few elements at a time. Not even Chrome is 100% HTML5 compliant, but it has at least managed to support this particular feature used in Gmail. As soon as Safari supports this HTML5 feature, this Gmail function will work in Safari. The same goes for Firefox and for IE.<br /><br />On a side note, as Moiz Saleem Varind alluded to... Chrome OS *is* looking to be a more viable future for computing. With HTML5 support for online/offline web application status... a super-fast JavaScript rendering engine... Native Client for applications which require massive use of CPU and GPU... and with Microsoft working feverishly to get Office to work in Chrome OS... the future is looking bright for the web.StareClips.comhttp://www.stareclips.com/?google-chromenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-15508200530694285432010-06-11T07:58:52.984-07:002010-06-11T07:58:52.984-07:00i don't really understand, and neither underst...i don't really understand, and neither understood with the drag'n'drop-thing: if this is an html5-feature, how can it be limited to one browser? if it is limited to one browser on purpose, and what explanation is there, how is google then better than microsoft in their ie-monopoly-attitude?<br />i believe, after web2.0 bandwaggonhopping with buzz, this "chrome is the better browser because we censor our features on other browsers"-attitude is googles second big software mistake. let's just hope this isn't the giant tripping over his shoes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-19122785295505308372010-06-11T07:21:39.940-07:002010-06-11T07:21:39.940-07:00Back in the days Microsoft made certain things wor...Back in the days Microsoft made certain things work on in IE, i guess this is a improved version of Microsoft tactics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-42421156191266766432010-06-11T06:36:31.257-07:002010-06-11T06:36:31.257-07:00Google Chrome OS is seeming to be the future of OS...Google Chrome OS is seeming to be the future of OS, with access to the web within a few seconds, remote-access to Windows App, and set of features that it will sport , its surely going to be rocking, read everything on my post : <br /><br />http://www.worldshotcake.com/google/chrome-os-can-run-pc-applications/<br /><br />Take Care !Moiz Saleem Varindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01983988002720187206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-74142740631625860412010-06-11T06:23:00.418-07:002010-06-11T06:23:00.418-07:00Dude, if you're going to make a post about chr...Dude, if you're going to make a post about chrome how about you do the screenshots in chrome, or at least don't put the firefox favicon in the picture. kthxbaiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-244657118610208202010-06-11T02:37:52.759-07:002010-06-11T02:37:52.759-07:00I see.
