When creating a Microsoft (out of the box) MVC 3 web application, it gives you the option to have the template set up using HTML5 syntax.

As of Q2, telerik does not give you this option when creating a Telerik MVC 3 web app.

When can we expect the same from Telerik?

Hello William,

I cannot give you an exact timeline for the feature currently. A safe bet would be the Q3 2011 release timeframe.

I have logged your feature request in our public issue tracking system (PITS). You can use the following Url to track progress on the issue:
Issue ID 7277 - Telerik Mvc VS Extensions' project templates Html5 support
 
Additionally, everyone can vote on the issue, raising its priority.

Best wishes,

Andrey, thanks a lot....

I have another feature request that I tried inputing into the link you sent, but didn't allow me.

The request is to supply MVC 3 extensions specifically for HTML5. Presently, the extensions render non-html5 elements. If you had another set of extensions specifically for HTML5, that would be a big boost for the developer community and Telerik.

Can you please let me know about this and add it to the feature requests.

Hi William,

Could you please elaborate a bit more on the second question? Which rendered elements are you referring to and why do you need HTML5 MVC extensions?

Georgi, if you take a look at this link http://www.codeproject.com/KB/webforms/Html5MVCWebControls.aspx you will find that this particular person has developed a library of MVC HTML5 specific controls.

This is great for websites that, now and in the future, will be built with the HTML5 spec.

Does this answer your question?

In an ideal world, we should not modify anything to our code.
Our friendly Telerik MVC controls should be smart enough to render HTML5 tags when the client supports it.
Now that Modernizr is part of the MVC3, it should not be difficult to know what the client supports and what it does not support.

I don't quite understand....

As far as from what I've seen, the Telerik MVC 3 controls don't generate HTML5 tags. If I change the doctype in VisualStudio to create the pages under the HTML5 spec, the Telerik controls simply create backward compatible HTML4 tags.

There are no specific HTML5 tags generated.

 Also, Modernizr is not in the scripts when creating a Telerik MVC 3 specific web project. If you create one out of the box (Microsoft), they have an HTML5 checkbox when creating the project that will include the Modernizr javascript in the project.

Please let me know if my thoughts are correct....

William,
You're right
Today MVC controls do NOT generate HTML5 tags.

What I said was a suggestion for the development team
