[jsr-314-open] [jsf2.next] WITHDRAWN Proposal to support new semantic HTML5 tags

JD> For the most part, no. The exceptions appear to be noted in the article JD> (but, I haven't reviewed the HTML5 spec - it ironically causes Firefox JD> to crash whenever I try). JD> So instead of saying <div class="nav">, you instead say <nav> JD> However, it turns out that there's serious problems with using these JD> tags, at least according to John Resig (I attended a talk he gave on JD> Friday). JD> While the HTML5 shiv referenced below will allow these tags to work in JD> IE in the basic case, there are still two problems: 1) they won't nest, JD> and 2) innerHtml won't work with these tags. JD> So, given those problems, I withdraw the proposal. Since these problems JD> occur in IE8, it looks like these tags may be as far as 5 years away JD> from being usable. Tragic. Withdrawl noted and agreed. Ed -- | ed.burns(a)sun.com | office: 408 884 9519 OR x31640 | homepage: | http://ridingthecrest.com/
