Modernizr

Modernizr Modernizr is an open-source JavaScript library that helps you build the next generation of HTML5 and CSS3-powered websites. Taking advantage of the new capabilities of HTML5 and CSS3 can mean sacrificing control over the experience in older browsers. Modernizr is your starting point for making the best websites and applications that work exactly right no matter what browser or device your visitors use. It’s basically a javascript library that you load into the browser’s memory that forces older browsers and internet explorer to adhere to the new HTML5 standards. I try to embed it into my website as soon as possible. You can read more about Modernizr on the official website:
