普通网站检测浏览器是否支持格式在webkit中的实现方式

在优酷网站中如果对应某个属性不支持就会报出错误说不支持

在html5 video的使用过程中也是存在这样的问题

video标签包含一个

canPlayType属性，这个可以判断你浏览器内部是否支持某一属性。

对应到webkit的代码中就是：
String HTMLMediaElement::canPlayType(const String& mimeType) const
{
    MediaPlayer::SupportsType support = MediaPlayer::supportsType(ContentType(mimeType));
    String canPlay;

    // 4.8.10.3
    switch (support)
    {
        case MediaPlayer::IsNotSupported:
            canPlay = "";
            break;
        case MediaPlayer::MayBeSupported:
            canPlay = "maybe";
            break;
        case MediaPlayer::IsSupported:
            canPlay = "probably";
            break;
    }
    
    return canPlay;
}

根据webkit本身的语法规定是存在idl文件与之想对应

DOMString canPlayType(in DOMString type);

以下是具体的调用的backtrace：

与此类似的flash的npnpi的方式也又对应的类型检查
