Half Implemented HTML 5 Structure
-
Hi there,
I have just notced on a website that it has a halt implemented html 5 structure. Well, when I say half implemented, it has the doctype and then one
<header>section. After that all of the divs are custom ones that have been added for the CSS.
Could this lack of structure have a negative effect on the site?
Cheers, Edward
</header>

Hi Edward,
I currently have the same situation where "half" of our site is html 5 and the other is still using div's and such. The html 5 tag's have been slowly being added to the site for about 3 months now and we have seen no negative impact because each version of the code is still considered valid. The only thing you may want to look out for is making sure that your site renders properly in older browsers.
