 ABSTRACT
HTML5 is currently under development as the next major revision of the HTML standard.
Like its immediate predecessors, HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.1, HTML5 is a standard for
structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. The new standard incorporates
features like video playback and drag-and-drop that have been previously dependent on
third-party browser plug-ins such as Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight, and Google Gears.

The HTML5 specification was adopted as the starting point of the work of the new HTML
working group of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 2007. According to the W3C
timetable, it is estimated that HTML5 will reach W3C Recommendation by late 2010.

The HTML5 syntax is no longer based on SGML despite the similarity of its markup.
HTML5 also incorporates Web Forms 2.0, another WHATWG specification.

In addition to specifying markup, HTML5 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 canvas element 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, Microdata, Geolocation etc.

INTRODUCTION

Fig 1.1: HTML5

The web is constantly evolving. New and innovative websites are being created every
day, pushing the boundaries of HTML in every direction. HTML 4 has been around for
nearly a decade now, and publishers seeking new techniques to provide enhanced
functionality are being held back by the constraints of the language and browsers. To
give authors more flexibility and interoperability, and enable more interactive and
exciting websites and applications, HTML 5 introduces and enhances a wide range of
features including form controls, APIs, multimedia, structure, and semantics.

Work on HTML 5, which commenced in 2004, is currently being carried out in a joint
effort between the W3C HTML WG and the WHATWG. Many key players are
participating in the W3C effort including representatives from the four major browser
vendors: Apple, Mozilla, Opera, and Microsoft; and a range of other organisations and
individuals with many diverse interests and expertise.

HTML5 is a specification for how the web's core language, HTML, should be
formatted and utilized to deliver text, images, multimedia, web apps, search forms, and
anything else you see in your browser. In some ways, it's mostly a core set of standards
that only web developers really need to know. In other ways, it's a major revision to
how the web is put together. Not every web site will use it, but those that do will have
better support across modern desktop and mobile browsers (that is, everything except
Internet Explorer).

History of HTML till now
• HTML 3.0 was developed in 1995

• HTML 3.2 was completed by 1997

• HTML 4 was developed in the year 1998

• In this year 1998 W3C stopped working on HTML and started working on XML
based HTML that is XHTML. And it is known as XHTML 1.0.It has completed in
the year 2000.

• In parallel with XHTML W3C worked on different language that is not compatible
to HTML and XHTML 1.0, known as XHTML2.
• Introduction of Xforms , a new technology which is meant to be the next generation
of web forms renewed interest in renovating HTML, rather than developing a brand
new language for web.

• HTML5 was first started by Mozilla, Apple, and Opera under a group called the
WHATWG (Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group). In 2006
W3C showed an interest in HTML5 and in 2007 they created a working group to
work in HTML5 project. HTML5 is still under development.

 CHAPTER 2

HTML5 STRUCTURE
2.1 STRUCTURE

HTML 5 introduces a whole set of new elements that make it much easier to structure
pages. Most HTML 4 pages include a variety of common structures, such as headers,
footers and columns and today, it is fairly common to mark them up using div elements,
giving each a descriptive id or class.

Fig 2.1: HTML4 document structure

Diagram illustrates a typical two-column layout marked up using divs with id and class
attributes. It contains a header, footer, and horizontal navigation bar below the header.
The main content contains an article and sidebar on the right.

The use of div elements is largely because current versions of HTML 4 lack the
necessary semantics for describing these parts more specifically. HTML 5 addresses
this issue by introducing new elements for representing each of these different sections.

3
 Fig 2.2: HTML5 document structure
The div elements can be replaced with the new elements: header, nav, section, article,
aside, and footer.
The markup for that document could look like the following:
<body>
<header>...</header>
<nav>...</nav>
<article>
<section> ... </section>
</article>
<aside>...</aside>
<footer>...</footer>
</body>

There are several advantages to using these elements. When used in conjunction with
the heading elements (h1 to h6), all of these provide a way to mark up nested sections
with heading levels, beyond the six levels possible with previous versions of HTML.
The specification includes a detailed algorithm for generating an outline that takes the
structure of these elements into account and remains backwards compatible with
previous versions. This can be used by both authoring tools and browsers to generate
tables of contents to assist users with navigating the document.

For example, the following markup structure marked up with nested section and h1
elements:

4
<section>
<h1>Level 1</h1>
<section>
<h1>Level 2</h1>

<section>
<h1>Level 3</h1>
</section>
</section>
</section>

For better compatibility with current browsers, it is also possible to make use of the
other heading elements (h2 to h6) appropriately in place of the h1 elements.

By identifying the purpose of sections in the page using specific sectioning elements,
assistive technology can help the user to more easily navigate the page. For example,
they can easily skip over the navigation section or quickly jump from one article to the
next without the need for authors to provide skip links. Authors also benefit because
replacing many of the divs in the document with one of several distinct elements can
help make the source code clearer and easier to author.

The following are the new structural elements introduced in HTML5:

The header element represents the header of a section. Headers may contain more than
just the section’s heading—for example it would be reasonable for the header to include
sub headings, version history information or bylines. The header element contains
introductory information to a section or page. This can involve anything from our
normal documents headers (branding information) to an entire table of contents.

5
<header>

<h1>A Preview of HTML 5</h1>

<p class="byline">By Lachlan Hunt</p>

</header>
<header>
<h1>Example Blog</h1>
<h2>Insert tag line here.</h2>
</header>

The footer element represents the footer for the section it applies to. A footer typically
contains information about its section such as who wrote it, links to related documents,
copyright data, and the like. The footer element is for marking up the footer of, not only
the current page, but each section contained in the page. So, it’s very likely that you’ll
be using the <footer> element multiple times within one page.

<footer>© 2007 Example Inc.</footer>

The nav element represents a section of navigation links. It is suitable for either site
navigation or a table of contents. The nav element is reserved for a section of a
document that contains links to other pages or links to sections of the same page. Not all
link groups need to be contained within the <nav> element, just primary navigation.

<nav>

<ul>

<li><a href="/">Home</a></li>

<li><a href="/products">Products</a></li>

<li><a href="/services">Services</a></li>

<li><a href="/about">About</a></li>

</ul>

</nav>

The aside element is for content that is tangentially related to the content around it.
Aside, represents content related to the main area of the document. This is usually

6
expressed in sidebars that contain elements like related posts, tag clouds, etc. They can
also be used for pull quotes.

<aside>
<h1>Archives</h1>
<ul>

<li><a href="/2007/09/">September 2007</a></li>

<li><a href="/2007/08/">August 2007</a></li>
<li><a href="/2007/07/">July 2007</a></li>
</ul>
</aside>
The section element represents a generic section of a document or application, such as a
chapter. It acts much the same way a <div> does by separating off a portion of the
document. For example,

<section>
<h1>Chapter 1: The Period</h1>
<p>It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was
the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was
the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, ...</p> </section>

The article element represents an independent section of a document, page or site,

which can stand alone. It is suitable for content like news or blog articles, forum posts
or individual comments or any independent item of content.

<article id="comment-2">
<header>
<h4><a href="#comment-2" rel="bookmark">Comment #2</a>by <a
href="http://example.com/">Jack O'Niell</a></h4>
<p><time datetime="2007-08-29T13:58Z">August 29th, 2007 at
13:58</time> </header>
<p>That's another great article!</p>
</article>

 CHAPTER 4

HTML5 V/S HTML4

New elements are introduced for a better structure. They are,

section - section represents a generic document or application section. It can be

used with header tags.
article-We can represent a blog entry or article using this tag
aside-represents a piece of content that is only slightly related to the rest of the page.
hggroup- represents the header of a section.
header-represents a group of introductory or navigational aids.
footer-represents a footer for a section and can contain information about the
author, copyright information.
nav- represents the section for navigation.
figure-used to give caption for video or audio. downloading
time-represents date/time
meter-represents a measurement
canvas- for rendering the dynamic bit map images

datalist:-Together with the a new list attribute for input can be used to make
combo boxes

New attributes are identified to various elements. There are several new global
attributes. They are,
16
 Contentedittable
Contextmenu
Draggable
Hidden
Spell check etc

Some elements are missing for HTML5. They are,

big, center, font, u, s, strike etc. These effects can be better handled by CSS.
frames, frameset, noframes etc. Their usage affects usability and accessibility
for the end user in a negative way.
acronym, applet, isindex, dir. Their usage creates confusion and so they are
avoided

Some attributes are not allowed in HTML5. Most of the styling attributes are
removed from the HTML5. User can use CSS for that purpose. Examples of
removed attributes are given below.

align attribute on caption, iframe, img, input, object, legend, table, hr, div,
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, col, colgroup, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead and tr
background attribute on body.
Bgcolor attribute on table, tr, td, th and body.
Border attribute on table and object.

17
 Cellpadding and cellspacing attributes on table.

4.2 New API’s in HTML5

 API’s for multimedia by using video and audio tags:- Using audio and video
tags the user can embed different audio/video formats in to the web page
API that allow offline web applications:- HTML5 allows several features in
which the web applications can work locally, that is without an internet connection.
So that the web applications can store their data locally.
Drag and drop API :- HTML5 allows drag and drop feature with the help of the
draggtable attribute
API that exposes the history and allows pages to add to it to prevent breaking
the back button
An API that allows a Web application to register itself for certain protocols or
media types
Editing API in combination with a new global contenteditable attribute :- Can
edit the contents at client side browser with the help of contenteditable attribute
HTML Microdata: In HTML microdata the user can embed machine readable
data in to HTML documents. It is build in such a way that it is easy to write and it
has unambiguous parsing model. HTML micro data is compatible with RDF and
JSON. So that it is compatible to Web3.0
HTML canvas 2D context- This API is used for rendering the 2D graphics,
bitmaps and shapes. This technology introduced by Apple.
Example code
<canvas id=”rect” width=”100” height=”50”>
your browser does not support this feature
</canvas>

HTML5 web messaging:Through this mechanism user can communicate between

browsing contexts in HTML documents

 CHAPTER 5

NEW FEATURES IN HTML5

WEB WORKERS

We can think of it as Hyper-Threading for web browsers. Separate background threads

are used to do processing without effecting the performance of a webpage. This can be
very useful for web applications which rely on heavy scripts to perform functions
(among other things). Firefox 3.5b has the best implementation of these proposed
features. Opera and Safari also supports some elements of this feature. Basically, Web
Workers offers you a possibility to load a JavaScript file dynamically and then have it
process code in a background process, not affecting the user interface and its response
level. You can continue to do whatever you want, selecting thing, clicking etc, while all
Web Worker computation is in the background.

FIG 5.1: Web Workers

19
 VIDEO AND AUDIO
HTML5 defines a new element called <video> for embedding video in your web pages.
Embedding video used to be impossible without third-party plugins such as Apple
QuickTime® or Adobe Flash®. The <video> element is designed to be usable without
any detection scripts. You can specify multiple video files, and browsers that support
HTML5 video will choose one based on what video formats they support. Browsers that
don’t support HTML5 video will ignore the <video> element completely, but you can
use this to your advantage and tell them to play video through a third-party plugin
instead. Kroc Camen has designed a solution called Video for Everybody! that uses
HTML5 video where available, but falls back to QuickTime or Flash in older browsers.
This solution uses no JavaScript whatsoever, and it works in virtually every browser,
including mobile browsers.

The simplest way to embed a video is to use a video element and allow the browser to
provide a default user interface. The controls attribute is a Boolean attribute that
indicates whether or not the author wants this UI on or off by default.

<video src="video.ogv" controls poster="poster.jpg" width="320"

height="240">

<a href="video.ogv">Download movie</a>

</video>

It is just as simple to embed audio into a page using the audio element. Most of the
attributes are common between the video and audio elements, although for obvious
reasons, the audio element lacks the width, height, and poster attributes.

<audio src="music.oga" controls>

<a href="music.oga">Download song</a>

</audio>

HTML5 has added new video and audio tags that can play video/audio in a browser
without a plug-in but it doesn’t officially support any video or audio format. Video
formats are like written languages. An English newspaper may convey the same
information as a Spanish newspaper, but if you can only read English, only one of them

20
will be useful to you! To play a video, your browser needs to understand the “language”
in which the video was written.

Content developers will have to spend more time in encoding the videos to Ogg Theora
and to H.264 formats so that all major browsers are supported. But this is not sufficient
as IE doesn’t support the video tag and would not be able to play the video or audio file
without a plug-in.

CANVAS
Canvas element lets you render graphics and images on the fly. An excellent
implementation of this element was done by the developers of Mozilla lab project
Bespin, which is an extensible Web Code Editor using Canvas (among other things).
HTML5 defines the <canvas> element as “a resolution-dependent bitmap canvas that
can be used for rendering graphs, game graphics, or other visual images on the fly.” A
canvas is a rectangle in your page where you can use JavaScript to draw anything you
want. HTML5 defines a set of functions (“the canvas API”) for drawing shapes,
defining paths, creating gradients, and applying transformations. It’s a 2D drawing API
that you can use javascript to draw dynamic image with. People have used it to
implement things like graphs that are built using tables of data which are on the page.
Even if your browser supports the canvas API, it might not support the canvas text API.
The canvas API grew over time, and the text functions were added late in the game.
Some browsers shipped with canvas support before the text API was complete.

21
APPLICATION CACHE
This feature provides the ability to store web apps like email locally and access it
without having to connect to the internet or install an external client like Outlook or
Thunderbird. Google gears, which helps you access Gmail offline, is an implementation
of HTML 5 specifications for Applications Cache (and much more). Reading static web
pages offline is easy: connect to the Internet, load a web page, disconnect from the
Internet, drive to a secluded cabin, and read the web page at your leisure. (To save time,
you may wish to skip the step about the cabin.) But what about web applications like
Gmail or Google Docs? Thanks to HTML5, anyone (not just Google!) can build a web
application that works offline.

Offline web applications start out as online web applications. The first time you visit an
offline-enabled web site, the web server tells your browser which files it needs in order
to work offline. These files can be anything — HTML, JavaScript, images, even videos.
Once your browser downloads all the necessary files, you can revisit the web site even
if you’re not connected to the Internet. Your browser will notice that you’re offline and
use the files it has already downloaded. When you get back online, any changes you’ve
made can be up loaded to the remote web server.

FIG 5.4: Application Cache

22
 GEOLOCATION

This API defines location information with high-level interface (GPS) associated with
the device hosting the API. Sources of location information includes Global Positioning
System (GPS) and network signals such as IP address, RFID, WiFi and Bluetooth MAC
addresses, and GSM/CDMA cell IDs. Yes, a big brother feature, but it can only be used
if the user gives the application permission to use the information. Geolocation is the art
of figuring out where you are in the world and (optionally) sharing that information
with people you trust. There is more than one way to figure out where you are — your
IP address, your wireless network connection, which cell tower your phone is talking to,
or dedicated GPS hardware that receives latitude and longitude information from
satellites in the sky.

FIG 5.5: Geolocation Demo

23
 LOCAL STORAGE

HTML5 storage provides a way for web sites to store information on your computer and
retrieve it later. The concept is similar to cookies, but it’s designed for larger quantities
of information. Cookies are limited in size, and your browser sends them back to the
web server every time it requests a new page (which takes extra time and precious
bandwidth). HTML5 storage stays on your computer, and web sites can access it with
JavaScript after the page is loaded.

INPUT TYPES

HTML5 defines over a dozen new input types that you can use in your forms.
1. <input type="search"> for search boxes
2. <input type="number"> for spinboxes

3. <input type="range"> for sliders

4. <input type="color"> for color pickers

5. <input type="tel"> for telephone numbers

6. <input type="url"> for web addresses

7. <input type="email"> for email addresses

8. <input type="date"> for calendar date pickers

9. <input type="month"> for months

10. <input type="week"> for weeks

11. <input type="time"> for timestamps

12. <input type="datetime"> for precise, absolute date+time stamps

13. <input type="datetime-local"> for local dates and times

DRAG AND DROP

The drag and drop API defines an event-based drag and drop system. However, it never
defines what “drag and drop” is. This API requires JavaScript to fully work as normal
think drag and drop functionality. Drag and drop API allows to drag and drop files
directly to the browser . A drop area can be defined in the web page to which we can

24
drag and drop pictures, or files of any kind from our desktop. It does not actually need
an uploading process.

PLACEHOLDER TEXT

Besides new input types, HTML5 includes several small tweaks to existing forms. One
improvement is the ability to set placeholder text in an input field. Placeholder text is
displayed inside the input field as long as the field is empty and not focused. As soon
you click on (or tab to) the input field, the placeholder text disappears.

FORM AUTOFOCUS

Web sites can use JavaScript to focus the first input field of a web form automatically.
For example, the home page of Google.com will autofocus the input box so you can
type your search keywords without having to position the cursor in the search box.
While this is convenient for most people, it can be annoying for power users or people
with special needs. If you press the space bar expecting to scroll the page, the page will
not scroll because the focus is already in a form input field. (It types a space in the field
instead of scrolling.) If you focus a different input field while the page is still loading,
the site’s autofocus script may “helpfully” move the focus back to the original input
field upon completion, disrupting your flow and causing you to type in the wrong place.

MICRODATA

FIG 5.11: Microdata

Microdata is a standardized way to provide additional semantics in your web pages. For
example, you can use microdata to declare that a photograph is available under a

25
specific Creative Commons license. As you’ll see in [TODO link to chapter once
written], you can use microdata to mark up an “About Me” page. Browsers, browser
extensions, and search engines can convert your HTML5 microdata markup into a
vCard, a standard format for sharing contact information. You can also define your own
microdata vocabularies.

PARSING
TML 5 defines 2 Serializations:
1. A custom "classic" syntax
2. An XML syntax (XHTML 5)

The classic syntax has a fully specified parsing algorithm. The parsing algorithm is
designed (and being refined) for compatibility with deployed content.

LIMITATIONS OF HTML5

New open standards created in the mobile era( HTML5), will win on mobile devices
(and PCs too). Clearly, Apple is backing HTML 5, CSS 3 and JavaScript for developing
future web applications.HTML5 still has some real constraints and it may not replace
Flash for eLearning/ mLearning development in the near future because of the
following reasons:

1. BROWSERS DO NOT PROVIDE FULL SUPPORT FOR HTML5

None of the web browsers for mobile or desktop have full HTML 5 implementations at
present. Internet Explorer (IE 6, 7 and 8), the most widely used web browser, has no
support for HTML5. The new version (IE 9) which is expected to be released sometime
in 2011 will support HTML5. Internet Explorer (IE 6, 7 and 8), the most widely used
web browser, has no support for HTML5. Even Apple iPad Safari browser doesn’t have
full HTML5 support.

2. CROSS PLATFORM / BROWSER COMPATIBILITY

Every browser has its own rendering mechanism so an application developed for iPad
Safari is not guaranteed to work well in other browsers like IE, Firefox or Chrome.
Developers will have to make modifications in the code to make it work in different
browsers. This is not the case with plug-ins like Flash or Silverlight where the
applications once developed can run on all the browsers without any modifications.

3. AUDIO/VIDEO SUPPORT
HTML5 has added new video and audio tags that can play video/audio in a browser
without a plug-in but it doesn’t officially support any video or audio format. Content
developers will have to spend more time in encoding the videos to Ogg Theora and to
H.264 formats so that all major browsers are supported. But this is not sufficient as IE
doesn’t support the video tag and would not be able to play the video or audio file
without a plug-in. Flash supports FLV/FV4 formats and those are not browser

27
dependent. Also, Flash or Silverlight video/audio supports secure media streaming;
there is no clear counterpart for this in HTML5.

3. DEVELOPMENT TOOLS

There are no tools available (except Dreamweaver CS5) that can create animations for
HTML5 having a good designer developer workflow required to create quality graphics

IMPLEMENTATION

YOUTUBE HTML5 VIDEO PLAYER

This is an opt-in experiment for HTML5 support on YouTube. If you are using a
supported browser, you can choose to use the HTML5 player instead of the Flash player
for most videos.
SUPPORTED BROWSERS

FIG 7.1: Supported Browsers

They support browsers that support both the video tag in HTML5 and either the h.264
video codec or the WebM format (with VP8 codec). These include:
• Firefox 4 (WebM, Beta)

• Google Chrome (h.264 supported now, WebM enabled version available via Early
Release Channel)

• Opera 10.6+ (WebM)

• Apple Safari (h.264, version 4+)

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (h.264, Platform Preview 3)

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, 7, or 8 with Google Chrome Frame installed

29
FEATURES

• Full screen support is partially implemented. Pressing the full screen button will
expand the player to fill your browser. If your browser supports a full screen option,
you can then use that to truly fill the screen.

• The HTML5 player has a badge in the control bar. If you don't see the "HTML5"

 CHAPTER 8

CONCLUSION

HTML 5 is the next version of Hyper Text Markup Language. It is developing by world
wide web consortium. Web is the commonly used medium to share and network
nowadays. But for more advanced features companies are building their own software.
So it reduces the openness and platform independence of the web technology. Aim of
the HTML5 to make a common platform for web with more advanced features like
audio, video etc.

It is really an ongoing process with browsers implementing different parts of it

progressively so it is not going to be all implemented at once and ready to go in one, the
next few browser implementations. We have some features implemented already and
shipping in browsers other features which are being worked on at the moment and other
are planned for, but still a few years of yet. But it is gradually getting there. HTML5
isn't a software release, or a web development law. It's a voted-upon and group-edited
standard, written in broad fashion to accommodate different styles of development and
the different thinking among web browser makers.

Firefox, Safari, and Chrome on the desktop support a few of the styles and features
outlined in HTML5's draft specifications, like offline storage, canvas drawing, and,
most intriguingly, tags for audio and video that allow sites to stream multimedia files
directly into a browser. Apple's Safari for iPhone and the Android browser also support
elements of HTML5, as does Opera Mobile.
