NuCoder Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Only noticed a couple new tags. Have'nt studied much on it yet as I am focusing on design at the moment. Has anybody jumped on this wagon yet, and have I overlooked anything regarding new changes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I haven't really looked yet. I'll look into it more when all the major browsers support it and it is realistic to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuCoder Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Thanks Ben - it is good to know it is not necessary to jump on right away Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkencreative Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I'd say it is worth learning a little about, since that is the direction that the web will be going eventually. I think I've seen a tutorial or two on NetTuts about using the new tags. The thing is, it really isn't realistic to consider building sites using HTML5 until all the major browsers support it. HTML5 Implementation: http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Implementations_in_Web_browsers Some browsers have partial support (Firefox, Safari, Opera) and I don't believe that IE supports any/or very few of the new HTML5 tags.

NuCoder Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Thanks for the link - I will head over to NetTuts as well. I will by all means jump on eventually, for the moment I want to just concentrate on learning design and typography... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems logical to me. Yet, there are quite a few sites that have decided to go where no site has gone before, some of which are showcased in this gallery. Then again, who can blame their developers for preferring the simple elegance of over the convoluted and similar document type declarations that only nerds could love!

That's all well and good, but I'm just saying that most of my clients don't care exactly which technology I am using when creating a web site -- they just want something that works. At the moment, using the current browsers, HTML 5 really isn't an option. Until all browsers support HTML5, there is little sense in doing client websites in HTML5.
