Hello, i am currently running a vB 3.7.3 board.
I am planing a big project to design my website.

My question is, can i use HTML5 markup and CSS3 in my templates?
I've noticed that a big part of the templates are hard coded.

I want to use modernizr to provide some css3 detection, but i am feeling that i am missing something, any guides or ideas?

Sure. I don't see anything wrong with using new features. I've added many CSS3 styling to my websites as well.

As per HMTL5 the website should work ok but your code may not be valid XHMTL as you will mix old with new.

Actualy i don't have to mix, i can rewrite all the templates, using only html5, i know i am not getting a valid markup but at least it works as it should be

It would be interesting to see the results. Are you planning to use jquery or YUI3.3 as well?

Didn't think about that yet, but i would go all the way on jquery.

I use in my forum jquery for various enhancements, it gives so much more dynamic styling possibilities and what's also cool about it's compatible with old browsers.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
