Hi all, I’m a newbie who just been learning html and css and building my first site for about a month or so and to date I’ve managed to solve all of the issues that I’ve come up against. However, I’ve been stuck on how to use html5 on my site and have IE versions 8 and older play along for a few days now. Assuming that my css is correct (a big assumption I know but I guest that this part of the form is just for html), it would be great if you could cast an expert eye over the below html and let me know if there is anything wrong with it in terms of IE version 8 and older not playing along (by the way with the associated css it works fin in other browser):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<header>
<title>[noparse]www.example.com[/noparse] - Home.</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
<link href="style2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
</header>
<body>
<nav>
<a href="www.examplea.html" <span class="example-a">Example A</span></a>
<a href="www.exampleb.html" <span class="example-b">Example A</span></a>
<a href="www.examplec.html" <span class="example-c">Example A</span></a>
</nav>
</body>
</html>
