I was just reading the guidelines and trying to get my head around the apparent contradiction in http://www.orchardproject.net/docs/UI-guidelines-for-theme-authors.ashx
On one hand, it says:
“Orchard assumes the use of HTML5… it is a strong recommendation. “
On the other hand it also says:
“Your web pages should work even if JavaScript is disabled in the browser”
How can the HTML5 tags possible work w/o JavaScript – which they have recommended as a solution? Since I’m doing a mobile application, should I totally ignore HTML5 tags then as the safest approach for browser compatibility in mobile?
Update: Anyone had a look at Twitter’s new mobile site in HTML5? Is it using HTML5 tags and just focusing on modern smart phones?
Ended up using a different wrapper for the widgets that does have to depend on the generic wrapper for widgets which has pre-configured HTML5 tags like
<header />.
