How to handle the browsers who don't support HTML5/CSS3
- by Sheikh Aman
Hi,
I have been looking into HTML5 and CSS3 and have been liking it quite a lot.
Got around the modernizr API, but am stuck at one point, and that leads to further confusions:
How will I write a code that caters to the situation of non-compatibility between browsers ?
This leads to the following confusions:
if I write the doctype as <!DOCTYPE HTML> and my page is accessed in IE6, then ho IE6 will handle the page?
If I try to include <video> tag and the page is again accessed by IE6/IE7IE8 (which don't support this tag), Then how am I supposed to be rolling back to flash for them? Should I use some JS to show/hide the content appropriately?
I would love to hear some thoughts of you guys.

Thanks!
