We can start working with HTML 5

I believe some of us may not be aware so far that we can start working with HTML 5. If you are a person who loves HTML and XHTML at the same time then it’s time to encourage the use of HTML 5. The good news is that annoying browsers like IE 6 can also handle HTML 5. I have done some cross checking using a few test cases and it worked well :-).

Due to many reasons including performances and optimization I would personally like to use this version (unless there is a significant reason to not to use this) rather than XHTML. We should accept the fact that XHTML still can not be used with an appropriate Content-Type using a browser like IE. So yes, I am motivating you to take the decision.

HTML 5 has come with a new way to specify the document encoding by using the charset attribute can be defined as like <meta charset=”utf-8″>. The final release of specifications are expected by 2010 but still there are lot of things which add a lot of excitement overall. You can read more about HTML 5 in detail at W3C HTML 5 vocabulary. You may also find worth checking out the difference between HTML 4 and HTML 5 explained by W3C.

    I am very excited about HTML 5 and I am sure I will start working on it from my next assignment. It is great to hear that older browsers like IE6 can handle HTML 5.
