If it is not compatible with a particular selector it is marked as such. You can click on each selector to see the results, including a small example and explaination for each of tests.

    Nice collection, thanks for putting this together. So much to read from this page alone, might need to make a separate bm folder just for this. I am excited for html5 and css3, I just wish at times this new stuff could be seen in older browsers. Ahh well, at least we have mobile.
