DotNetNuke HTML5 boilerplate skinning file set


If you are developing in HTML5 or if you have researched the subject you have probably come across the HTML5 Boilerplate template. This is a robust HTML/CSS/JS file base for developing websites in HTML5 and was created by Paul Irish, Divya Manian and others - thanks guys for sharing your efforts. Please visit www.html5boilerplate.com to find out more about the project.

Looking at the boilerplate file set I thought it would be worthwhile to rework the code so it can be applied in the DotNetNuke skinning process. As a result I came up with the file set that that I now use as standard as a starting point for all of my skins,click here to download all in a zip format.

The idea behind it is that the files include all the necessary code to make your skinning job easier and faster, making sure that your skin will display correctly across different browsers and enables you to target those browsers via CSS. It is not a finished skin, just a collection of code that you can pick up or delete as required. As I said before this is a rework of the code published by HTML5 boilerplate crew and all the credit for the hard work should go to them.

Internet Explorer 9 goes live

Microsoft's Internet Explorer 9 web browser goes live
Internet Explorer
The improvements to Internet Explorer are as much about what you don't see as what you do see. Internet Explorer 9 has a streamlined design, fewer dialog boxes to click through, more intuitive navigation, and many new features that speed up your web browsing experience. Features like Pinned Sites let you pin your favorite website directly to the taskbar for one-click access. Other features, like hardware acceleration, deliver an all-around faster browsing experience. With Internet Explorer 9, websites perform and feel more like the programs you use every day on your PC.

@Salaro additional advantage is #DotNetNuke behind the #CataLook, implementing static content on #Magento is difficult and limited Posted 301 days ago
@Salaro in my opinion, out of the box #CataLook is much more flexible and has better functionality than #Magento but require more dev time Posted 301 days ago
