Making HTML5 and CSS3 work with polyfills and shims

I love HTML5. I mean I REALLY love HTML5. The newest version of HTML offers so many new and cool features that its impact on our future development is unquestionable. It’s understandable why so many developers are feverishly adding new bits into their web applications and anxiously waiting for new features, like WebSockets and IndexedDB, to mature and get included in the major browsers.

And the browser vendors are listening. It sometimes feels like a leapfrog effect to see which browser can support the most features. And yes, even Microsoft, whose IE6 browser has been the bane of many developers, has jumped into the standards bandwagon, fully endorsing HTML5 much to the delight and relief of the developer community.
