# css3/html5 support necessary?

 * I am working on creating a css3/html5 showcase on my blog. I use a theme that
   doesn’t explicitly support either css3 or html5 but it was made for WordPress
   2.9 (works on/ running 3.0). Without changing anything on the backend I tried
   to create a post with a `<div>` styled using some CSS3 elements and -moz/-webkit
   elements. The output wasn’t promising as neither the css3 nor the -moz/-webkit
   rendered. I guess at this point my question is: Does the theme have to directly
   support css3 in order for it work? It doesn’t use the html5 doctype by default,
   but I’m sure I could change this…don’t think it would fix it though. I feel like
   I am missing something (it is late here..). Any help is greatly appreciated.
 * PS. The code is formatted correctly, there are no typos or missed punctuation
   ect.

 * Apparently it was another infamous case of checking with the visual editor! I
   knew it was just me being tired…time to disable that visual editor.
