HTML 5 is basically a next generation of HTML. The previous versions of HTML (HTML, HTML 4.01) were introduced in 1999. After that, a lot of changes have been made in the web. HTML 5 is still in working process. But many main browsers still support HTML 5 elements and API’s.How it get started:
HTML 5 is basically cooperation between World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG). Initially, WHATWG was working with web application (web forms). On the other W3C was working with XHTML 2.0. But later they decided to collaborate and work as a team for new version of HTML.
After that, some rules for HTML 5 were established. Here are these rules:
Some New Rules For HTML 5 Are:
All the new features will be based on HTML, CSS, DOM and Java Script.
In HTML5, there will be a reduction of external plug-ins (like flash).
It will handle different errors effectively and efficiently.
It will have more mark ups to replace scripting.
It will be device independent.
Its development process will be visible to the public.
But with the passage of time, some new features are also introduced in HTML 5.
Some New Features Introduced In HTML 5 Are:
For 2D drawing, it has <canvas> element feature.
For media playback it has <audio> and <video> elements.
It has also support for local storage.
It has some new content-specific elements such as <article>, <header>, <footer>, <nav>, <section> etc.
It has also some new forms of control such as date, time, email, search, URL etc.
But it is not yet an official standard. At the moment, there is no browser who has full HTML 5 support. However, all the main browsers like Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer are trying hard to add new features of HTML 5 to their latest and updated versions.
