The new DREWspective design actually uses HTML 5, which is something I’ve gotten very excited about as it should make building web pages much easier. Funnily enough, I never thought of testing the design in Internet Explorer, until now.
It turns out that IE7 (at least) doesn’t recognise HTML 5 tags, like section and article, so even with regular CSS styles IE will not apply any styling to them whatsoever. If you had seen the site in Internet Explorer, you would have seen a mess.
Fortunately there is a JavaScript hack that solves the problem, which I’ve just applied to the site.
