BluePlate: Now With Partial HTML5 Support
In a recent post discussing BluePlate (our template starting point for many of our web sites and applications) I talked about adding partial support for the HTML5 spec. In the 15 minutes since I wrote the post (;-), I have created our HTML5 lite framework (thanks to supporting material found at http://html5doctor.com/).
Why Partial Support
You really have 3 options when it comes to working with HTML5:
- You only modify the doctype to be HTML5 compliant
- You modify the doctype, and insert div classnames that are consistant with new HTML5 element names
- You dive right in, modify the doctype, and use the new HTML5 elements. Because of issues in FF2 and IE, you'll also need to use an HTML5 enabling script
As you can see, I made the decision to go with option number 2. Take a look at the source code and provide me with any comments you might have.
