Are there any adverse side effects to loading html5shiv in every browser?
- by Jeff
On the html5shiv Google Code page the example usage includes an IE conditional:
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="dist/html5shiv.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
However on the html5shiv github page, the description explains:
This script is the defacto way to enable use of HTML5 sectioning
elements in legacy Internet Explorer, as well as default HTML5 styling
in Internet Explorer 6 - 9, Safari 4.x (and iPhone 3.x),
and Firefox 3.x.
An obvious contradiction. So to satisfy my curiosity, for anyone who has studied the code, are there any adverse side affects to loading html5shiv in every browser (without the IE conditional)?
EDIT: My goal, obviously, is to use the shiv without the IE conditional.
