PS Bryan:
Also this piece of code in the header block can do the trick right.
<!-- Prompt IE 6 users to install Chrome Frame. Remove this if you support
IE 6. chromium.org/developers/how-tos/chrome-frame-getting-started -->
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<p class=chromeframe>Your browser is <em>ancient!</em>
<a href="http://browsehappy.com/">Upgrade to a different browser</a>
or
<a href="http://www.google.com/chromeframe/?redirect=true">
install Google Chrome Frame</a> to experience this site.</p>
<![endif]-->
As this code still doesn't work in compromised IE browsers as even with the
shiv it does not really fix things. Example:
<example>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="//html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
<style>
document.createElement(elementName)
</style>
<body>
<video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
<source src="http://www.w3schools.com/html5/movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="http://www.w3schools.com/html5/movie.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
OMG you are so screwed. Time for a real browser!!
</video>
</body>
</html>
</example>
Another annoyance is that not every company is supporting the new OGG
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg). I will let you guess which browser
company isn't supporting it.

IE 9 is the first version of IE that natively supports HTML5, but
there is a JS library that will make it work in IE7&8.
HTML Shiv, http://code.google.com/p/html5shiv/, is dead simple to use,
and works fairly well.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well
preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,
shouting "What a great ride!"
