### Why is the URL for jQuery without "http"? |
|
|
|
7 |
|
|
|
|
8 |
This is an intentional use of [protocol-relative |
|
|
|
9 |
URLs](http://paulirish.com/2010/the-protocol-relative-url/) |
|
|
|
10 |
|
|
|
|
11 |
**N.B.** Using a protocol-relative URL for files that exist on a CDN is |
|
|
|
12 |
problematic when you try to view your local files directly in the browser. The |
|
|
|
13 |
browser will attempt to fetch the file from your local file system. We |
|
|
|
14 |
recommend that you use a local server to test your pages (or Dropbox). This can |
|
|
|
15 |
be done using Python by running `python -m SimpleHTTPServer` from your local |
|
|
|
16 |
directory, using Ruby by installing and running |
|
|
|
17 |
[asdf](https://rubygems.org/gems/asdf), and by installing any one of XAMPP, |
|
|
|
18 |
MAMP, or WAMP. |

### Why don't you automatically load the latest version of jQuery from the Google CDN? |
|
|
|
22 |
|
|
|
|
23 |
1. The latest version of jQuery may not be compatible with the existing |
|
|
|
24 |
plugins/code on the site. Version updating should be an intentional |
|
|
|
25 |
decision. |
|
|
|
26 |
2. The latest version has a very short `max-age=3600` compares to the specific |
|
|
|
27 |
version of `max-age=31536000`, which means you won't get the benefits of |
|
|
|
28 |
long-term caching. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

### Why is the Google Analytics code at the bottom? Google recommends it be placed the `head`. |
|
|
|
32 |
|
|
|
|
33 |
The advantage to placing it in the `head` is that you will track a user's |
|
|
|
34 |
pageview even if they leave the page before it has been fully loaded. However, |
|
|
|
35 |
putting the code at the bottom keeps all the scripts together and reinforces |
|
|
|
36 |
that scripts at the bottom are the right move. |

### How can I integrate [Twitter Bootstrap](http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/) with HTML5 Boilerplate? |
|
|
|
40 |
|
|
|
|
41 |
You can use [Initializr](http://initializr.com) to create a custom build that |
|
|
|
42 |
includes HTML5 Boilerplate with Twitter Bootstrap. |
|
|
|
43 |
|
|
|
|
44 |

### How do I prevent phone numbers looking twice as large and having a Skype highlight? |
|
|
|
49 |
|
|
|
|
50 |
If this is occurring, it is because a user has the Skype browser extension |
|
|
|
51 |
installed. |
|
|
|
52 |
|
|
|
|
53 |
Use the following CSS to prevent Skype from formatting the numbers on your |
|
|
|
54 |
page: |
|
|
|
55 |
|
|
|
|
56 |
```css |
|
|
|
57 |
span.skype_pnh_container { |
|
|
|
58 |
display: none !important; |
|
|
|
59 |
} |
|
|
|
60 |
|
|
|
|
61 |
span.skype_pnh_print_container { |
|
|
|
62 |
display: inline !important; |
|
|
|
63 |
} |
|
|
|
64 |
``` |
|
|
|
65 |
|
|
|
|
66 |
|
|
|
|

### Do I need to upgrade my sites each time a new version of HTML5 Boilerplate is released? |
|
|
|
68 |
|
|
|
|
69 |
No. You don't normally replace the foundations of a house once it has been |
|
|
|
70 |
built. There is nothing stopping you from trying to work in the latest changes |
|
|
|
71 |
but you'll have to assess the costs/benefits of doing so. |
|
|
|
72 |
|
|
|
|
73 |
|
|
|
|
74 |
