I can't seem to get modernizr to work on my website. I have added the javascript files into a folder and called to them. I've also added no-js to the html but still nothing.
When I view source, it doesn't populate the html like it should.
I'm not using it for css3 elements yet so I don't need any fallback styles, I just want to be able to use the more semantic tags like header, nav, footer etc...
This is my document code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html class="no-js" lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset=utf-8>
<title></title>
<!--[if IE]>
<script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js">
</script>
<![endif]-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/modernizr-1.7.min.js"></script>
Ran into this problem myself. Make sure you view the page during run-time. When you view the page source, js calls are not executed and it will not replace the no-js. If you are using Chrome then use their element inspector.
It is most likely a path issue. Try temporally replacing
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/modernizr-1.7.min.js"></script>
With
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.cdnjs.com/ajax/libs/modernizr/1.7/modernizr-1.7.min.js"></script>
Or it could be working, but it's not obvious. Keep in mind you don't see the Modernizr classes when you view the source, you need a tool like Firebug on FF or the Developer Tools on Chrome to actually inspect the post-javascript code.
An additional test would be doing something like...
.borderradius body {
background: #c00;
}
And if the background is red, then Modernizr is running.
You don't have any styles here but maybe you haven't defined your HTML5 elements as display: block? Modernizr doesn't do that by itself and so you still won't get the results you expect if you don't add that into your CSS.
For the record I had this issue too. After a long time testing I found that removing the 'Add CSS Classes' option from the custom build was causing it for me.

I've wondered this before, but never gotten an answer. Then just today I came across another site: http://ruralcoz.com/ with no html in the source code. Only a minified script. Does anyone know how the developer built this site, and why they chose to replace all the html with javascript? What's the benefit of this? How is this done?
Thanks!
That's a React app. React uses JavaScript to create everything on the page and then loads it into the one root div on the page.
There are advantages to doing it this way and you can read more about it here
That site does have HTML in the source code, specifically:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Four Points Funding</title>
<link href="/static/css/main.d6132581.css" rel="stylesheet">
...
</head>
<body><noscript>You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.</noscript>
<div id="root"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/js/main.0673017f.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
All of the above is HTML markup, and pages must have HTML to be rendered as HTML pages. There's no way around that.
What this site is lacking is content in the <body>, which might seem a bit odd, but is very doable. Javascript can be used to create elements and to insert them into the HTML, which is happening here. For example:
<script>
const div = document.createElement('div');
div.textContent = 'Body content!';
document.body.appendChild(div);
</script>
We have a site that's running perfectly in all browsers except IE8.
What happens is that it falls into Quirks mode forcefully by the browser due to the reason unknown to me.
And yes, it breaks the site really bad.
What's more weird is that it adds somekind of JS on its own to the code (when checked through View Source.
This is what it's showing:-
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.cookie = "IV_JCT=%2Fapchannel-lop; path=/";
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head profile="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/vocab">
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>
...
The <SCRIPT> in the start is not added by me and is being added by IE8.
I have tried the following
First line <!DOCTYPE html> and then right after <head>, I wrote <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>
Adding respond
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/html5shiv/3.7.2/html5shiv.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/respond/1.4.2/respond.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
Nothing works.
Any idea how I can stop this and just force it to load with IE8 standard mode?
Thanks
The problem is that you're adding the script before the <!DOCTYPE>.
The doctype must be the very first thing on the page, otherwise IE will go into quirks mode. (even blank lines at the top of the page have been known to affect this)
Move your script somewhere else in the page, ideally inside the <head> element, and ensure that you have valid HTML markup, and the problem will resolve itself.
IE 8 will not mangle HTML like that. Something else must be responsible.
From AJAX techniques within a Tivoli Access Manager WebSEAL Environment:
Junction cookies
Issue
When you create a WebSEAL junction using the -j option to enable
junction cookies, special HTML code is inserted at the beginning or
end of the HTTP response that sets the correct cookie path in the
browser (the location determined by the -j option). Generally, the
returned page will look similar to that in Listing 11.
Listing 11. Example of junction cookie insertion
<SCRIPT>
document.cookie = "IV_JCT=%2Fjunction_name";
</SCRIPT>
<html>
<title>Example page </title>
<body>
Rest of the document...

That's a pretty specific bit of JavaScript (Debugging tip: When weird variable names show up in your code and you don't know where they came from: Type them into Google), so its a reasonable bet that this is what is responsible.
It doesn't sound like there is a work around, so your options seem to come down to:
Stop using IE 8. It is unsupported by Microsoft and no supported operating system that can run it can't be upgraded to a newer version of IE (they could also be upgraded to a non-IE browser).
Stop using WebSEAL (or at least WebSEAL junctions using the -j option) since it invalidates your HTML.
I'm using ie10 and have had wrong values returned from modernizr from my site, it is an internal site.
It is running and to simplify things, I have it just checking the value of hsla.
There are a lot of other features that we want to see, but to debug I have stripped it down to just look at hsla.
If I go to different sample sites, "hsla" is shown as an option.
If I go to our site ex, http://www.example.com/test.htm, "no-hsla" is shown.
I have switched out the modernizr file we are using to use one from ajax.cdnjs.com and I get the same result.
I have generated a new download modernizr with just hsla in it and same result "no-hsla".
I can copy the same exact files to a server that I hit with IP http://x.x.x.x/test.htm and it works fine and show "hsla"
this is all I have in test.htm
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en" class="no-js" xmlns:og="http://opengraphprotocol.org/schema/">
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="moderntest.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Any thoughts on this?
I'm very new to html and trying to make a website. So far, I've got an html file that has the header for my site and I would like to use it in all the pages I create for the site using jQuery's load function.
So basically what I want to do is load Header.html into Page.html.
This is the code in Page.html:
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Hello</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jQuery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#Header").load("Header.html");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
Hi
<div id="Header"></div>
</body>
</html>
Header.html looks something like this:
<div id="Header_Name">Adabelle Combrink</div>
<div id="Header_GameProgrammer">Game Programmer</div>
The only thing that comes up on the screen is "Hi" at the moment.
Looks good, apart from the backslashes in the src attributes should be forward slashes.
Is there any particular error you are getting?
Also, as has been pointed out, PHP would be better suited to this job.
<?php include 'header.php'; ?>
Aside from the accessibility question, there might also be a negative SEO impact.
Edit:
Assuming your path to jQuery is correct, then the code you posted should work (it does for me).
Things to try / be sure of:
You are running this on a server (i.e. not just opening the file in your browser, as this will fall foul of the same origin policy). Check that the address in your address bar doesn't start with file://
Make sure that the path to the jQuery library is correct
Make sure that Page.html and Header.html are in the same folder
Check your broswer's error console. Instructions.
you can use iframe for including html file into the div.
Otherwise you have to follow some server side include method.
like, in php <?php include("includes/header.php"); ?>
your code looks fine.
are you running the site on a web server, such as out of visual studio (iis express) ?
You can't run it locally. Ajax wont work that way.
Open your page in chrome, and press f12 to open up dev tools.
go to the network tab.
do you see the ajax request being fired on the load function?
by the way, regarding the header div,
a div is not a self-closing tag. Its a container. Its best that you close it using a closing tag.
Otherwise you might get unpredictable results in some browsers. ( I have not checked in a while, but it was that way a few years ago, probably in explorer 8)
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery.ajax({
url: 'header.html',
type: 'get',
success:function(data){
jQuery('#header_container').html(data);
}
});
});
<div id="header_container">....</div>
The content returned by the request will go inside the header_container div
Div elements require a closing div tag like so <div></div>.
there is no need to call small pieces of code from another js file, just write your code in the head element like so:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Hello</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../Scripts/jQuery.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#Header").load("../Templates/Header.html");
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="Header"></div>
</body>
</html>
Don't be afraid to ask for more info.
$.load() http://api.jquery.com/load/
Do you know any method to optimize this HTML Code to IE6 or 7 (or 8) without adding any HTML elements, or the IE is skipping all the HTML5 elements?
If i just want to format elements with CSS, - i dont want to use other features - is the document.createElement("nav") DOM element create enough to scam IE and make a plain HTML document?
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>title</title>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="reset.css">
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<header>code of header</header>
<nav>
code of nav
</nav>
<section>
code of gallery
</section>
<article>
code of article
</article>
<footer>code of footer</footer>
</body>
</html>
Thank you.
More info about DOM create elements in IE6, IE7 and IE8 with html5 enabling script ยป here
This code should work fine with IE6. Though, you may want to define your elements in your stylesheet to give them the properties you are looking for. Something like this:
header, footer, nav, section, article {
display:block;
}
EDIT: Oops. I am wrong about this. Shouldn't have posted so quickly. Reading this (which you probably just read as well): http://blog.whatwg.org/supporting-new-elements-in-ie
It appears that the Javascript hack you indicated above may be the only way to get these elements to render properly.
This script looks to be pretty handy and may solve your problem nicely, though I have not tested it: http://remysharp.com/2009/01/07/html5-enabling-script/
IE8 does not support html5, just some random bits and pieces of it.
IE6 or 7 even less.
