Can HTML5 elements be used with older browsers?

Question

I think about things such as <header>, <footer>, <article>, <section>and HTML5 document.

Is there any use for developing pages that way? What will the old browsers look like? Can they be checked?

I'm just not sure how backward these things are compatible.

Answer 1

You asked a couple of questions in your post:

Is there any use for page development [using HTML5]?

Yes

Using the new semantic network, you get semantics. You give meaning to your data, which can then be done to do wonderful things.

Answer 5

Yes, html5 is a universal standard, and therefore most (except IE) support it. In addition, you can put flash memory in video tags if the video is not supported, and you can configure the library as jquery as a backup if html5 is not supported.
