4 Specific Uses of Resource Information

Can I Use is great for checking colors on a browser and making sure that they will appear on most browsers correctly depending on if they were written with hexidecimal notation or something else. You can use Can I Use to look up specific HTML elements such as iframe where the website will be able to tell you if it will load correctly on all browsers or not. You can also look up specific CSS properties to see if they will work on all browsers such as animation. You can even find some JSON references in Can I Use to make sure that code would work in various browsers.

Hexadecimal Notation

Background

I always find the hexadecimal notation pages interesting since colors continue to be developed. The link above is if you write colors with 6 digits. The colors that are created from these 6 digits render correctly in most browsers. However, if you view the 8 digit hexadecimal notation page, not as many browsers render colors made that way yet since new colors have been created. I also found the background property to be interesting when I looked that up. To my surprise, it is unknown if some browsers support the background property. Being one of the more commonly used properties, I thought it would for sure be compatible on all browsers.

Summary

Overall, the Can I Use website is a useful resource. It is a great way to find out if website pages will render correctly. This is especially important for anyone doing website work at a business because if your customers can't access your website or if it's not appearing correctly and there complaints, that would not be good.
