Modernizr
Modernizr is a JavaScript library that detects the availability of native implementations for next-generation Web Technologies. These technologies are new features that stem from the ongoing HTML5 and CSS3 specifications. 
HTML Code
For implementing lower version browser like Internet Explorer 7 and 8, you just include modernizr.min.js after style sheet inside header tag. download link.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8 lt-ie7">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]>
<html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]>
<html class="no-js lt-ie9">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!-->
<html class="no-js">
<!--<![endif]-->
<head>
<title>Responsive Design with CSS</title>
//Meta tag for devices
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">

<div id="header">
<div id="logo">Logo</div>
<div id="nav">

</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="main">
<div id="article">Content Here</div>
<div id="sidebar">sidebar</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
Footer
</div>
<body>
</html>
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8 lt-ie7">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]>
<html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8">

<!--[if IE 8]>
<html class="no-js lt-ie9">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!-->
<html class="no-js">
<!--<![endif]-->
<head>
<title>Responsive Design with CSS</title>
//Meta tag for devices
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> //Style Sheet
<script src="modernizr.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<div id="logo">Logo</div>
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li>link</li>
<li>link</li>
<li>link</li>
<li>link</li>
<li>link</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="main">
<div id="article">Content Here</div>
<div id="sidebar">sidebar</div>
