Liferay theme - html5

I am developing a portlet for Liferay (v6.0.5, runs on JBoss). I would like to use HTML5 (canvas to be more specific) in this portlet. How can I find, if the theme I am currently using on the portal does support HTML5?

I know that themes with HTML5 support exist and I have to choose the right one? Or am I wrong and all themes automatically support HTML5?

Thanks for tips!

Solution

  • All the Liferay themes automatically support , its the browsers you should be worried about.

    There is nothing special to make a theme HTML5 since its just a matter of doctype change (<!DOCTYPE html>) to make the browser know that you are rendering HTML5 stuff. So you can check the doctype in portal-normal.vm and other template files to see if the theme is HTML5.

    But for scripting support I doubt if (Liferay's default library) provides any additional HTML5 specific modules for manipulating canvas, file-api etc.
