lol.
The article needs to be more specific, though: it's not a "loophole" or "bug" in HTML5; it's poor implementation on the part of browser vendors (nice to see Fx ahead of the game again, though!).

HTML 5 may be all new and fancy, but it is kind of up to the vendors to make it work. Other than that, good find Beverleyh and thanks for sharing
