hi...

I found the documentation in blackberry saying newer version supports HTML5. But i cannot able to create a HTML5 file in my eclipse plugin.

The set of HTML5 features supported on each of the different operating system versions are outlined on the WebWorks API pages

hi tneil......

I'm using  BlackBerry WebWorks Plug-in v2.5.1 (Eclipse Full Installer) for Smarpthones is that supports HTML5. If not is there any other SDK(Supports HTML5) version  that can be used as a  plugin for Eclipse.

The amount of HTML5 support (which is a whole bunch of W3C specs either in final stage or still in draft) is dependant on the OS version you have on your phone.  The Browser is embedded software on the phone and what is or isn't supported per API on the operating system is outlined in our API documents in the "Supported Platform Table" link at the top of document for that API

What is the HTML5 API you are trying to use and on which BlackBerry Operating system version?

If it is the HTML5 File API, this isn't supported yet on the BlackBerry platform.. However to get around this in WebWorks we have implemented a blackberry.io.* API to allow you access to the underlying file system.
