Comment on Be wary of HTML5 “solutions” with SharePoint 2010 by Ravi

Hi,

We are having a .NET application being migrated to SharePoint 2010. The UI concept is being created in HTML5 supported by CSS and JQuery.

We want to integrate this with SharePoint 2010 creating SharePoint Master Pages, Page Templates, Pages and webparts for functional components.

An alternative to this is being suggested where we use ASPX pages and add the entire the HTML5 code created in the concept under this page and do not implement any webparts.

I want to understand from experts in this forum what is the recommended approach and how can we arrive at a solution for such an implementation?

hmm… only matter of time… real business may soon be done using mobiles… just because mobile came later than PC does not mean real business will always be done by PC.

Have you tested with an SP1 and December 2011 CU farm? Based on my tests at least the people picker issue is resolved. SP1 is supposed to support IE9 in full compatibility mode too.

Thanks for the comments Marc. FYI I have added a link to one of my gists, showing how a ContentPlaceHolder might be used to selectively enable IE9 rendering mode on certain pages. I’d suggest this method might be a more reliable way of using HTML5 features in IE9 on custom ASPX pages and publishing page layouts, while still providing good ol’ reliable IE8 rendering on ‘boring’ pages.

As with everything, it depends. If you’re building an Internet site on SharePoint, for instance, HTML5 may be both desirable and preferable, assuming you understand your user base and consider decent fallback and shimming strategies.

Using some HTML5 capabilities with some parts of your user population even on an Intranet may make sense. It may even make sense to have a fully HTML5-enabled home page. All of this is possible if you do the work.

Those of us who have written about getting HTML5 capabilities working with SharePoint – myself included, as I have a series on http://nothingbutsharepoint.com – are simply trying to answer the many questions people have about how to do it. In my writing I’ve tried to be very clear what the challenges are and what to think about before you get started.

HTML5 and responsive layouts are fine for publication layers where sites have to work in all browsers, not just IE9…
I would say be weary of implementing any third party solution without testing it thoroughly…
