title: Make website work for IE8 (html5/css3)
body: <p>I am redesigning a website and plan to release next year around Aug with support for both desktop and mobile browser (mainly iPad).</p>
  
  <p>Now bcoz the code base is same, there are going to be some ui components taking advantage of gestures which iPad supports and may be something similar for desktop.</p>
  
  <p>I plan to use html5, css3 extensively..</p>
  
  <p>Now i am aware that IE has support for html5/css3 from version 9 ownwards...So i am a bit confused whether to have support for ie8 as well..There are 2 things;
  1. Support ie8 and complicate code with lots of workaround only for ie8
  2. Do not support ie8 at all..</p>
  
  <p>I am not sure what is the right thing to do..But feel if ignoring lots of traffic currently from ie8 (though might not be the case next year) might not be a good idea.</p>
  
  <p>Also ie9 would mean my existing users would need to not just upgrade browserr, but also their os to windows7.</p>
  
  <p>Please ket me know your suggestions.</p>
