In Chrome 50, you’ll be able to check the support of options for some HTML attributes that are backed by DOMTokenList
instances in JavaScript.
Right now, these places are:
- iframe sandbox options
- link relations (the rel attribute, or relLink in JavaScript)
Let’s show a quick example:
var iframe = document.getElementById(...);
if (iframe.sandbox.supports('an-upcoming-feature')) {
// support code for mystery future feature
} else {
// fallback code
}
if (iframe.sandbox.supports('allow-scripts')) {
// instruct frame to run JavaScript
// NOTE: this is well-supported, and just an example!
}
As the list of supported options grows and changes, you can use feature detection to perform the correct actions for your web applications.
