HTML5 picture element not visible in (some?) Android browsers?
Posted: Mon Mar 23, 2020 1:17 am
I only have a sample of 1 Android phone (Android 6.0), but am finding that images configured using the HTML5 Picture element are not displayed.
Samsung Internet v11.1.2.2 (the latest version), and MS Edge (also latest version) fail to display the image; the default browser displays a broken image symbol. No problem at the same break-point on the desktop.
I'm working around it by serving a traditional image at the lowest break-points, and imagine that it may be OS-related, but reported here in case anyone knows otherwise.
