HTML5 Basic Introduction


The fantastic HTML version has released. This is named as HTML5. This version will allow you to edit your website in such a new way. Somehow the work is still going on it. While most people are still using this for making their sites attractive. 
HTML5 is released by W3C(World wide web consortium) and WHATWG(Web hypertext application technology working group). While the logo was officially released on 1st April 2011. 

The most fantastic features of HTML5 are: 

  • No need of Extra plugins like Flash and silver light. 
  • More mark up to replace script. 
  • All the development process will be visible to public.
  • Error handling is much better with this. 



The basic syntax is: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>This is the Title of the document</title>
</head>

<body>
Here is the content
</body>
</html>

The <!doctype> declaration is very simle and easy to use in this version of HTML. 
some new tags that will be using in HTML5 are <canvas>,  <video> and <audio>. 
Also there would be SVG (Scalable video Graphics). All these tags are going to allow you more editing options for your website. Some elements have changed also. Such as <a>, <cite> and <menu>. The API and Document Object Model (DOM) are no longer afterthought. However these are still the fundamental part of its specification. 


With all these feature there is a problem that Ie8, Opera and some older versions of Firefox doesn't support HTML5.
