• HTML5 compliant: correctly and accurately implemented (HTML5) Markup-, JS- and DOM-APIs

Implemented Features:

• HTML5 shiv and innerShiv solution including basic CSS-support
• canvas
• HTML5 form features including: constraint validation and form widgets (input[range], input[date], input[time], input[datetime-local], output, input[list]/datalist)
• interactive elements: summary/details
• JSON (stringify and parse)
• localStorage/sessionStorage
• geolocation
• ECMAScript 5 / JavaScript 1.8.5 features

How To Use

• Simply download Webshims Lib and put the js-webshim-folder in your project
• Include the JavaScript:

---

<script src="js-webshim/minified/polyfiller.js"></script> 

<script> 
	//load and implement all unsupported features 
	$.webshims.polyfill();
	
	//or only load a specific feature
	//$.webshims.polyfill('geolocation json-storage');
</script>

---

• Wait till everything has been loaded and then use it:

---

<script> 
	$(function(){
		//work with JSON and localStorage 
		var userData = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('userData')) || {visits: 0};
		$('#visits').html(userData.visits);
		//...
	});
</script>
