Why?
That's my first question. Why? As in why do I need this button? As in why do I have to do this in HTML 5?
HTML 5 doesn't have to replace Flash. Flash may be great for some devices, and the computers of today can do Flash.
Why does this argument always end up with "But I can do this wildly unnecessary thing in Flash! I should be able to make something unequally unnecessary in HTML 5".
Perhaps HTML 5 can't do the unnecessary. Perhaps that's all the more reason to go to HTML 5.
