A best practice: Do browser detection instead. <script type="text/javascript"> function html5elm(elm) { return !!document.createElement(elm); }
var myArray = ['header','nav','section','aside','article','footer','hgroup']; for (var i = 0; i < myArray.length; i++){ html5elm(myArray[i]); } </script> It will create those elements for IE6-8 (and older browsers with lack of HTML5 support) in DOM. IE9 support them natively. HM.
