HTML5 Is an nwe version of HTML its upcoming. By which I mean to say that its not a fully developed one!
Its still under constuction!
So many browsers lack in its features.
For example placeholder tag in the input field is shown in firefix, opera, chrome (Safari never tried) but internet explorer it does not show itself. So you have to usejQuery for that. To change the text when user inputs something to zero. If user input
is null than back to full text you want to display.
You have to look for the codes being used!
Like gradient is not much supported in IE8 or even IE9 So there is a long term code for that. You have to Google it.
Please "Marks As Answer" if any answer helped you out!

In such scenario you have to deal with old browsers yourself by javascript or other frameworks like Modernizr (http://www.modernizr.com)

Hi,
for those, we use html5shim:

or use html5 polyfills

Google chrome is the best. It supports 95% HTML5
Mozilla on second.
Than opera! Because it also support many features.
IE Ummm should be tried. But not much!
