HTML 5 - New Markup and New Elements

Submitted by Kapil on Wed, 09/23/2009 - 16:01
In previous blog you came to know about the difference between HTML 4.0 and HTML 5.0. Today you will know what are the new markup and new elements used in HTML 5.0

New Markup Using HTML 5

It provides a number of new elements and attributes. Some of them are replacements for common uses of generic block (<div>) and inline (<span>) elements, for example <nav> (website navigation block) and <footer>. Other elements provide new functionality through a standardized interface, such as the <audio> and <video> elements.
The HTML5 syntax is no longer based on DOCTYPE, SGML despite its markup being very close. It has, however, been designed to be backward compatible with common parsing of older versions of HTML. It comes with a new introductory line which looks like <!DOCTYPE html>, which enables standards-compliant rendering in all browsers that use "DOCTYPE sniffing"

HTML 5 - First Tests and Analysis

As a Web Development Lead at Tekriti, I have been at the forefront of developing the HTML, CSS and JS for several projects which Tekriti has been executing. What has been notable in this entire experience of mine is how little the HTML markup has evolved in the past 10 years or more. Sure we have definitely moved from table'd layouts to table less layouts, we have made concentrated efforts on keeping the HTML fluid, using CSS 2.0 and following W3C standards to the maximum. All of the above was the learning which me and my team has had over the past 4 years as Web 2.0 came calling. However there was still something lacking, as all this learning was more from a standards and discipline perspective, nothing new from a markup or technology perspective. One thing is for sure, HTML'ization of websites is a specialized job with a special set of skills and experience (especially with the plethora of browsers around these days IE6, 7, 8, Mozilla FF, Chrome, Safari, Opera).
