I m overhauling my blog (http://gilesvangruisen.com/) and I m going to be pushing new technologies as much as possible.
I m a web designer/developer and the browser percentage is as follows: 42% Firefox 39% Safari 7% Chrome 7% IE
Is it OK to use the HTML5 doctype for my "rethunk" site?
I thank you. -Giles :)
You can safely use the HTML5 doctype <!doctype html> and it will just render as HTML strict on most browsers, including IE6. Only caveat is that the new HTML5 elements (i.e. header, footer, input type="number", etc) isn t directly supported by all browsers, including the current versions.
You should feel comfortable using HTML5. To detect which browsers support some of the next generation browser technologies, you should use a tool like modernizr.
This site is really useful for comparing browser support for features: http://caniuse.com/
Also, you can click "Import stats", which lets you link your Google Analytics profile to the page so it tailors the responses to your site s browser access numbers.
I would give serious thought to using the HTML5 Boilerplate as a starting point. It s HTML5 (obviously) but has been tested for compatibility with a variety of different browsers to make sure it still displays correctly everywhere. It also has jQuery, Modernizr, and normalizr wired in so you ve got a good foundation on which to build.
I ve never used it for a mostly static site, but it has proven a good starting point for our various apps.
