“The Rust Belt” will not take advantage of any kind of JavaScript or CSS hacks to look better in any particular browser. One Internet, one set of standards, one code. I am going to experiment with HTML5 elements that may be unrecognizable for some browsers so whatever the result is, it will not be corrected if browser-specific code is required.
One of the examples is the HTML5 <article> element that is not supported in Internet Explorer 8. Microsoft’s browser basically ignores CSS directives for the element or its descendants which means that most of what I put into making this blog look better will not bee seen in IE. However, since “The Rust Belt” is a personal experimental lab, things like that should and will happen. As I said, I do this on purpose.
