make html5 like div in old browser

[memenotume]

trying to put together some css that will give html5 elements div properties in older broswers.

.nav { display:block; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; font-size: 100%; font: inherit;vertical-align: baseline;}

but it helps some elements and not others. Am i missing something to add to the properties?

What are you talking about? Your CSS is addressing all elements with the class “nav”. And new HTML 5 elements are not supported in older browsers like IE 8 and below (if these are among thos you mean) so no CSS will ever have any effect on these elements.

to make html5 things work with all other browsers you need to add some javascript to your file

document.createElement("article");
document.createElement("footer");
document.createElement("header");
document.createElement("hgroup");
document.createElement("nav");
