Colosseo Poster

Reimagining the Roman Coliseum in type.

Tuesday 9 March 2010

ColosseoType.com, An All-HTML5 Endeavor

The site for the Colosseo poster is my first production-ready website with HTML5 under the hood. I’ve coded sites semantically with HTML5 class names before (see Jon Tan’s article), but this is the first with legitimate HTML5 elements such as <header> and <article> in the markup.

IE doesn’t yet recognize HTML5, so I’ve added Remy Sharp’s HTML5 shiv script, which forces IE to acknowledge the new elements.

Granted, the Colosseo site is a one-pager, but hey, it’s a start.

Update: It looks like Firefox 2.x doesn’t play well with HTML5, either. Here’s another article from Remy Sharp on getting Firefox 2 to recognize HTML5. (Thanks to Brian over at Monoscope for pointing this out.)
