Finally! HTML5 & CSS3 standards support for Visual Studio 2010. Download it now!

HTML5
VS Web Standards Update provides you intellisense and validation for most common HTML 5 features like:

    Browser APIs

    • Geo-Location – Having location aware websites is growing trend and now you will have full intellisense and validation within Visual Studio for creating websites which are location aware.  For sample view the source for the IE9 test drive demo.
    • Local Storage – IE has been supporting local storage from IE8 onwards, now Visual Studio will provide you with full fidelity intellisense to create sites which can save state within browser.  For sample of try view source on HTML5 Demo Site

    CSS3

    This update supports intellisense and validation for most of the CSS3 modules including:

    Additionally, if you are trying to make websites which work on a variety of platforms and browsers you will love the fact that Web Standards Update not only supports IE specific prefixes like –ms; but also other vendor prefixes like –webkit and –moz.

    Sharable Links

    PS: The Web Standards Update works on both VS 2010 SP1 and VWD Express 2010 SP1.  Being a VS Extension, it does not support certain CSS3 selector syntax & Browser API intellisense which would require servicing the shipping bits.
