This information allows you to progressively enhance +your pages with a granular level of control over the experience. -In addition to that, Modernizr will add classes to the `` -element of the page, one for each cutting-edge feature. If the UA -supports it, a class like `cssgradients` will be added. If not, -the class name will be `no-cssgradients`.
