 Feel free to ping me off list if you have any specific scenarios that you
 feel you need IE specific CSS for. I'll be happy to try and give you
 cross-browser equivalents.

Could you share the reliable ie8 hacks that will do no harm to IE9 in the list? 
In very rare occasions  I do need to target IE8 mostly just one or two element 
(the trigger has always been a combination of relative and absolute positing 
and floated elements), it really disturbs me to have to creating extra 
stylesheet for ie8, sometimes I can get away with it with zoom:1 but there are 
times different values for width, paddings and margins are needed. 

I found this but never feel comfortable using it.

.test { color /*\**/: blue\9 }

Re: [WSG] HTML5 with Chrome

2010-09-02 Thread Joseph Ortenzi
Although the base site is XHTML it uses HTML5 in the extra windows. (which
you can still manipulate BTW)

As for wastefulness, it's effectively a music video, so think who their
audience is before answering that for yourself.

The HTML 5 issue is the creation of the video feed in near real-time from a
google maps / streetview reference and play that with several other vids
simultaneously using HTML5 (as opposed to the current common Flash platform)
code. Also, the collision and mouse detection without Flash is also of
interest.

It is an example of what can be expected from HTML 5 in the near future. For
cultural sites, there's a good reason to put HTML 5 on the table. Also for
example, kiosk experiences, where you get to control the platform. or for
mobile apps, where HTML5 can be a lighter drain on the processor.

So, as with most questions, the wastefulness can be measured by assessing
the audience, purpose, goals, platform and strategy first.

PS: it works in Safari as well.

 Well, since that page is actually a doctype of XHTML 1.0 Transitional

 HTML5 tags but it's clearly XHTML 1.0) and that it doesn't work I'd
 say it's wasteful.  However, is it wasteful to create a working site
 in HTML5, depends on your audience and the type of content you need to
 implement.  If it's a site like this one that suppose to be all rich
 interactive (aka using the canvas tag) and has to work in IE6/7/8 then
 it might be wasteful since you'd want to also create a flash version
 to replace the canvas tag for those versions of browsers that don't
 support the canvas tag yet.  However, for all other tags in HTML5 you
 would be fine building a site with them today and not be wasteful.

Hi Joe

Great response - thanks for the informative advice.

There seems to be more sites being created in HTML5 ... any other
recommended examples of HTML5 sites?
