If you are developing in HTML5 or if you have researched the subject you have probably come across the HTML5 Boilerplate template. This is a robust HTML/CSS/JS file base for developing websites in HTML5 and was created by Paul Irish, Divya Manian and others - thanks guys for sharing your efforts. Please visit
www.html5boilerplate.com to find out more about the HTML5 BoilerPlate project.
Looking at the boilerplate file set I thought it would be worthwhile to rework the code so it can be applied in the DotNetNuke skinning process. As a result I came up with the file set that that I now use as standard as a starting point for all of my skins.
The package includes:
1. Optimised Default.aspx file
2. Modernizr java script file
3. Skin ascx file
4. Skin css file
5 Skin doctype file
The idea behind it is that the files include all the necessary code to make your skinning job easier and faster, making sure that your skin will display correctly across different browsers and enables you to target those browsers via CSS.
It is not a finished skin, just a collection of code that you can pick up or delete as required.
As I said before this is a rework of the code published by HTML5 boilerplate crew and all the credit for the hard work should go to them.
Do let me know your thoughts and suggestions; I am planning on updating the files if there are any changes in the future.
