I am trying to build my first HTML5 site. I started off trying to use the HTML5 Boilerplate, however that requires me to have access to the htaccess file. I am building this on a client’s existing server and they can’t give me that access. I really like the boilerplate’s features as far as the css setup goes and all. I want something that will make it that easy to start my project. I don’t want to have to code it from scratch. Guidance?

    however that requires me to have access to the htaccess file

    Why does it require this? Is something not working? The .htaccess file should not be required for the HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

    As steveax mentioned:

    1. Go to http://html5boilerplate.com/
    2. Click at “Customize Boilerplate”
    3. Uncheck “.htaccess” (and you probably want to uncheck “Ant Build Script”, too)
    4. Download!
