Responsive Design: The Picture Element Comes of Age

Article Continues Below

Until now, Picturefill supported span-based HTML markup that mimicked a pattern we hoped would one day become a web standard: namely, the picture element and its associated features. Following the hard work of the Responsive Images Community Group (chaired by Filament Group’s own Mat Marquis), we’re pleased to report that there are native picture implementations in development for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and potentially others!

With this news, this week we released a new version of Picturefill that will make the real picture element work in existing browsers, which means you can start using picture today.
