HTML5 enabling script 7 Jan Since HTML5 is getting more attention by way of marking up our new pages, and the only way to get IE to acknowledge the new elements, such as <article>, is to use the HTML5 shiv, I’ve quickly put together a mini script that enables all the new elements. Download html5shiv.js and must be inserted in the head element (this is because IE needs to know about the element before it comes to render them – so it can’t sit in the footer of the page, i.e. below the elements in question). I’ve updated this post to link to Alexander Farkas’s version of the shiv – it’s the very latest and my simple one line script. The one I originally released was (I thought) beautifully small, but didn’t support print styles nor dynamic injection of HTML5 elements. Good thing there are smarter folk than I!

HTML5 Reference It is useful to make a distinction between the vocabulary of an HTML document—the elements and attributes, and their meanings—and the syntax in which it is written. HTML has a defined set of elements and attributes which can be used in a document; each designed for a specific purpose with their own meaning. Consider this set of elements to be analogous to the list of words in a dictionary. This includes elements for headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links, form controls and many other features. The basic structure of elements in an HTML document is a tree structure. 3.1 Syntactic Overview There are two syntaxes that can be used: the traditional HTML syntax, and the XHTML syntax. The HTML syntax is loosely based upon the older, though very widely used syntax from HTML 4.01. <! XHTML, however, is based on the much more strict XML syntax. 3.2 The Syntax There are a number of basic components make up the syntax of HTML, that are used throughout any document. 3.2.1 DOCTYPE Declaration end tag
