title: HTML5 Shim vs. Shiv
body: <p>Beginner at Rails.</p>
  
  <p>I'm coding CSS in my sample application. I understand there is Javascript code to help browsers, i.e. Internet Explorer, support HTML5.</p>
  
  <p>What is the difference between HTML5 Shim and HTML5 Shiv? Is it something worth knowing?</p>

  <p><a href="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js">http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js</a></p>
  
  <p>My code, y'all:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!--[if lt IE 9]&gt;
  &lt;script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"&gt;
  &lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;![endif]--&gt;
  </code></pre>
