Detecting HTML5/CSS3 Features using Modernizr
HTML5, CSS3, and related technologies such as canvas
and web sockets bring a lot of useful new features to
the table that can take Web applications to the next
level. These new technologies allow applications to be
built using only HTML, CSS, and JavaScript allowing them
to be viewed on a variety of form factors including
tablets and phones. Although HTML5 features offer a lot
of promise, it’s not realistic to develop applications
using the latest technologies without worrying about
supporting older browsers in the process. If history has
taught us anything it’s that old browsers stick around
for years and years which means developers have to deal
with backward compatibility issues. This is especially
true when deploying applications to the Internet that
target the general public. This begs the question, “How
do you move forward with HTML5 and CSS3 technologies
while gracefully handling unsupported features in older
browsers?”
