It also applies [basic styling](https://github.com/aFarkas/html5shiv/blob/51da98dabd3c537891b7fe6114633fb10de52473/src/html5shiv.js#L216-220) for HTML5 elements for IE6-9, Safari 4.x and FF 3.x. - -####`html5shiv-printshiv.js` -* This includes all of the above, as well as a mechanism allowing HTML5 elements to be styled and contain children while being printed in IE 6-8. - -### Who can I get mad at now? - -HTML5 Shiv is maintained by [Alexander Farkas](https://github.com/aFarkas/), [Jonathan Neal](https://twitter.com/jon_neal) and [Paul Irish](https://twitter.com/paul_irish), with many contributions from [John-David Dalton](https://twitter.com/jdalton).

Then include one of them into your `<head>` as above. - -## HTML5 Shiv API - -HTML5 Shiv works as a simple drop-in solution. In most cases there is no need to configure HTML5 Shiv or use methods provided by HTML5 Shiv. - -### `html5.elements` option - -The `elements` option is a space separated string or array, which describes the **full** list of the elements to shiv. see also `addElements`. - -**Configuring `elements` before `html5shiv.js` is included.** - -```js -//create a global html5 options object -window.html5 = { - 'elements': 'mark section customelement' -}; -``` -**Configuring `elements` after `html5shiv.js` is included.** - -```js -//change the html5shiv options object -window.html5.elements = 'mark section customelement'; -//and re-invoke the `shivDocument` method -html5.shivDocument(document); -``` - -### `html5.shivCSS` - -If `shivCSS` is set to `true` HTML5 Shiv will add basic styles (mostly display: block) to sectioning elements (like section, article). In most cases a webpage author should include those basic styles in his normal stylesheet to ensure older browser support (i.e. Firefox 3.6) without JavaScript. - -The `shivCSS` is true by default and can be set false, only before html5shiv.js is included: - -```js -//create a global html5 options object -window.html5 = { - 'shivCSS': false -}; -``` - -### `html5.shivMethods` - -If the `shivMethods` option is set to `true` (by default) HTML5 Shiv will override `document.createElement`/`document.createDocumentFragment` in Internet Explorer 6-8 to allow dynamic DOM creation of HTML5 elements. - -Known issue: If an element is created using the overridden `createElement` method this element returns a document fragment as its `parentNode`, but should be normally `null`. If a script relies on this behavior, `shivMethods`should be set to `false`. -Note: jQuery 1.7+ has implemented his own HTML5 DOM creation fix for Internet Explorer 6-8. If all your scripts (including Third party scripts) are using jQuery's manipulation and DOM creation methods, you might want to set this option to `false`. - -**Configuring `shivMethods` before `html5shiv.js` is included.** - -```js -//create a global html5 options object -window.html5 = { - 'shivMethods': false -}; -``` -**Configuring `elements` after `html5shiv.js` is included.** - -```js -//change the html5shiv options object -window.html5.shivMethods = false; -``` - -### `html5.addElements( newElements [, document] )` - -The `html5.addElements` method extends the list of elements to shiv. The newElements argument can be a whitespace separated list or an array. - -```js -//extend list of elements to shiv -html5.addElements('element content'); -``` - -### `html5.createElement( nodeName [, document] )` - -The `html5.createElement` method creates a shived element, even if `shivMethods` is set to false. - -```js -var container = html5.createElement('div'); -//container is shived so we can add HTML5 elements using `innerHTML` -container.innerHTML = '<section>This is a section</section>'; -``` - -### `html5.createDocumentFragment( [document] )` - -The `html5.createDocumentFragment` method creates a shived document fragment, even if `shivMethods` is set to false. - -```js -var fragment = html5.createDocumentFragment(); -var container = document.createElement('div'); -fragment.appendChild(container); -//fragment is shived so we can add HTML5 elements using `innerHTML` -container.innerHTML = '<section>This is a section</section>'; -``` - -## HTML5 Shiv Known Issues and Limitations - -- The `shivMethods` option (overriding `document.createElement`) and the `html5.createElement` method create elements, which are not disconnected and have a parentNode (see also issue #64) -- The cloneNode problem is currently not addressed by HTML5 Shiv. HTML5 elements can be dynamically created, but can't be cloned in all cases. -- The printshiv version of HTML5 Shiv has to alter the print styles and the whole DOM for printing. In case of complex websites and or a lot of print styles this might cause performance and/or styling issues. A possible solution could be the [htc-branch](https://github.com/aFarkas/html5shiv/tree/iepp-htc) of HTML5 Shiv, which uses another technique to implement print styles for Internet Explorer 6-8. - -### What about the other HTML5 element projects? - -- The original conception and community collaboration story of the project is described at [The History of the HTML5 Shiv](http://paulirish.com/2011/the-history-of-the-html5-shiv/). -- [IEPP](https://code.google.com/p/ie-print-protector), by Jon Neal, addressed the printing fault of the original `html5shiv`. It was merged into `html5shiv`. -- **Shimprove**, in April 2010, patched `cloneNode` and `createElement` was later merged into `html5shiv` -- **innerShiv**, introduced in August 2010 by JD Barlett, addressed dynamically adding new HTML5 elements into the DOM. [jQuery added support](http://blog.jquery.com/2011/11/03/jquery-1-7-released/) that made innerShiv redundant and `html5shiv` addressed the same issues as well, so the project was completed. -- The **html5shim** and **html5shiv** sites on Google Code are maintained by Remy Sharp and are identical distribution points of this `html5shiv` project. -- **Modernizr** is developed by the same people as `html5shiv` and can include the latest version in any custom builds created at modernizr.com -- This `html5shiv` repo now contains tests for all the edge cases pursued by the above libraries and has been extensively tested, both in development and production. - -A [detailed changelog of html5shiv](https://github.com/aFarkas/html5shiv/wiki) is available. - -### Why is it called a *shiv*? - -The term **shiv** [originates](http://ejohn.org/blog/html5-shiv/) from [John Resig](https://github.com/jeresig), who was thought to have used the word for its slang meaning, *a sharp object used as a knife-like weapon*, intended for Internet Explorer. Truth be known, John probably intended to use the word [shim](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shim_(computing)), which in computing means *an application compatibility workaround*. Rather than correct his mispelling, most developers familiar with Internet Explorer appreciated the visual imagery. And that, [kids](http://html5homi.es/), is [etymology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etymology). |
