Have you heard of HTML5?

HTML5 is a new standard of the World Wide Web, HTML. The most important and amazing thing about html5 that can let everone thinking about is the "video" html tag. The video tag will make it possible to add video into html webpages and have it playback across different browsers that implements html5.

In addition to basic markup, HTML 5 specifies scripting application programming interfaces (APIs). Existing Document Object Model (DOM) interfaces are extended and de facto features documented. There are also new APIs, such as:

  • The canvas tag for immediate mode 2D drawing
  • Timed media playback
  • Offline storage database
  • Document editing
  • Drag-and-drop
  • Cross-document messaging
  • Browser history management
  • MIME type and protocol handler registration

The canvas element for drawing graphics on-the-fly is a good example; new in HTML 5, it’s already supported by every major browser except Internet Explorer (and there are workarounds for IE too).

Lesser-known HTML 5 features like offline data storage, cross-document messaging, and access to the back/forward stack, which are mainly of interest to JavaScript developers, are also popping up in the newest browsers, including IE8.
