HTML5 introduces a number of new elements and attributes that reflect typical usage on modern websites. Some of them are semantic replacements for common uses of generic block (<div>) and inline (<span>) elements, for example <nav> (website navigation block) and <footer> (usually refer to bottom of web page or to last lines of html code). Other elements provide new functionality through a standardized interface, such as the multimedia elements <audio> and <video>[9].[10] [11] Some deprecated elements from HTML 4.01 have been dropped, including purely presentational elements such as <font> and <center>, whose effects are achieved using Cascading Style Sheets. There is also a renewed emphasis on the importance of DOM scripting (e.g., JavaScript) in Web behavior. The HTML5 syntax is no longer based on SGML despite the similarity of its markup. It has, however, been designed to be backward compatible with common parsing of older versions of HTML. It comes with a new introductory line that looks like an SGML document type declaration, <!DOCTYPE html>, which enables standards-compliant rendering in all browsers that use "DOCTYPE sniffing". ClickJC.com will be implementing proceedures for HTML production as the releases are submitted. Future and current clients both will be notified and offered the upgrades necessary to roll with the HTML5 introduction to the World Wide Web. |

HTML5
is currently being developed as the next major revision of HTML (HyperText
Markup Language), the core markup language of the World Wide Web. HTML5 is the
proposed next standard for HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0 and DOM Level 2 HTML. It aims to
reduce the need for proprietary plug-in-based rich internet application (RIA)
technologies such as Adobe Flash and Microsoft Silverlight. In common usage,
HTML5 may also refer to the additional use of CSS3, as both technologies are
under development in parallel.
