Comparison of layout engines (ECMAScript)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following tables compare ECMAScript (particularly JavaScript) support for a number of layout engines. Please see the individual products' articles for further information. This article is not all-inclusive or necessarily up-to-date. Unless otherwise specified in footnotes, comparisons are based on the stable versions without any add-ons, extensions or external programs.

[edit] Engine nomenclature
Rather than the names of web browsers, the names of the underlying engines are used. The browsers that use the various engines are listed below.
Layout Engine Used By
Trident (also known as MSHTML) Internet Explorer 4 to Internet Explorer 8
WebKit Safari; Shiira; iCab 4; Epiphany; Adobe Air; Google Chrome; Midori; OmniWeb; Adobe Dreamweaver CS4;
Presto Opera; Nintendo DS Browser; Internet Channel; future Adobe Systems products
[edit] Values
Values indicate the level of support in the most recent version of the layout engine, or (if a version number is given) in the specified version. Version numbers without any other value indicate the version at which the layout engine first fully supported the feature.
Value Meaning
Yes Indicates that the layout engine fully supports this property when valid values are used.
No Indicates that this property is completely ignored.
Partial Indicates that the property is understood, but that not all values are supported. Supported values are implemented correctly.
Incorrect Indicates that the property is understood, but that it is not implemented correctly in all cases.
Experimental Indicates that the property is provided in experimental form under an alternative name, generally with only partial functionality.
