What is new in html5

If you need a birds eyes view on new html5, here it goes

html5 gives new tags for the
drawing - canvas
media playback - audio, video
offline storage -
form controls - calendar, date, time, email, url, search
content specific elements - article, footer, header, nav, section

Few things to note
  • html5 spec is still in specification stage
  • not all browsers implemented all html5 tags (you can understand why from previous point)
  • only few latest browsers support few tags
