Fiks.html: HTML 5 graceful degradation

[lyosha]

I'm working on a script that will help with graceful degradation of html 5 in current browsers. For now it covers correct displaying of sectioning (eg. <article>,<header>,<section>,etc.) and text-level elements (eg. <mark>) in Firefox 2.0- and IE6/7. I also plan on targeting Opera 9+, Firefox 3+, Konqueror 4+, and Safari 3.1+ for fixing other display issues, such as <figure><legend>. I will not support browsers which require a total reparsing and tree rebuilding of the DOM to fix things such as Konqueror 3.5-. The name stands for the first letter of all the major browsers except Opera, btw.

Here's the SF page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/fikshtml/

This is helpful. Hope to see you continue working on this. Thanks.

Thanks for the comment. I haven't had time to add to it yet, but I will be making a tiny update to it soon.

The only thing I changed was the last line of the JS (for faster fixing on Firefox 2):

Code: Select all

  window.addEventListener('load', fiks_html_fx, false);

becomes:

Code: Select all

  window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', fiks_html_fx, false);

I have still to get to work on <figure><legend>, that's next on my list.
