Thanks for your email.
I will be out of the office from 13 August until 1 September with very limited
access to email. For urgent enquiries please call the office on 02 9954 3492.
Otherwise I will respond to your email upon my return.
Thank You
Tom, I think the answer to that is semantics - div has no meaning. Id's are
there for you to manipulate the look and behaviour, the tags themselves
offer a way for third parties to glean meaning from the page. e.g you could
build an overview of a page by grabbing the first bit of text inside
a 'div' definitely has meaning, ie: it is a division of one part of
the page, from another; whether it is used for other behaviour,
doesn't preclude it from from its original meaning.
but when everything is in a div, div ceases to have much meaning. It
simply says theres a bunch of things on the

Have you ever tried caching pages which themselves have manifests?

Just to add onto Chris' email.
This sounds like a good place to suggest people purchase Jeremy
Keith's book HTML5 for Web Designers. In it he actually describes the
semantics of the new tags and gives defines when and how to use tags
like section article header footer etc. If you have
Tom,
HTML5 allows for the use of the elements header, footer, and aside in
multiple instances.
For example, an article could have a header and footer:
section
article
header
h2Article title/h2
Sorry,, Corrected Structure:
div id=wrap
div id=header
pHeader here/p
/div!-- !End Header --
div id=container class=clear
div class=article
Content with an H2, a UL, Ps and
Tom, just go for it.
You can add the modernizr or similar js to get IE to recognize the elements.
But you won't appreciate the semantics of HTML5 until you ditch divs for the
new tags. I speak from experience. There's a certain level of awareness you get
while trying to decide the most
Tom,
I have 'played' with the simple elements and I like them. I actually wanted
to have a 'page' element (or wrapper) since that is an element that is used
an awful lot, but I never got anywhere with folk accepting it. For a simple
example, see:

Take a look at the js, it's pretty simple.
However, it is true that you are leaving yourself open. At Yahoo, we treat IE6
as an a-level browser. http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/articles/gbs/
So you aren't going to see me push to change Yahoo! Finance to HTML5 tags.

No, I'm suggesting that if you truly want to learn html5 semantics you need to
build a site without divs. Once you understand the semantics you can better
understand why you would use the new tags and why you would fall back to divs.
But to continue working with divs that have semantic class

I rather liked the conditionals around the body. What's not to like?
Imho, it goes against the separation of structure and presentation (plus it
messes up with the cascade), but I can understand why they are doing this.
