HTML5 Features you Should be Using Right Now

[BinRingSing]

Thank you for the introduction

[halb45]

What a load of crap. I saw this same crap with IE3 and Netscape Navigator. I saw it again with IE4, IE5.5, IE6, IE6.2 IE7. Have a look at the code behind google, facebook, youtube (fucjen any web site) with DOCTYPE html. All the code is HTML 4.01 transitional. Wait another 2-3 years. In the mean time use XHTML.

fuck you IE

[Narutoxbleach503]

Lol talking about how to program so IE will notice it.....ON A MAC

[kudafoolhu]

why do we even care about IE

[sprowlta]

@kudafoolhu , I know your anguish. I hate IE with passion, but as web designers we have to think about even the smallest percentage of people and the browsers they use, even Opera.

hmm. this video insnt even in html 5

[patlecat]

Nice introduction and not too fast :)

[gushreds]

You sound just like the guy off of the social network.

[Shmooore]

I have just gained so much respect for HTML5

[siderespector]

Making a sick technology sicker!

[theeastwatch]

Seems like HTML 5 is just making it easier for novices to write their own code.

@theeastwatch So? you scared they are going to take your job? Get creative then!

[theeastwatch]

@00ImRightYourWrong00 too late after 10 years I was forced to close my design studio. Kudos to those who can survive in this market.

[Freddran]

@theeastwatch well there is a lot more things in it. Native video, audio support, new elements, which make any code more clear and many minor changes in a usage of existing tags.

Hello! i just wanna ask coz i am really new to HTML5 and i have an assignment... i need to develop a dictionary application... i'm already finish with the design and some functions, my problem now is that how can i link the word inputted on the the textarea to google dictionary when you click the word to show what the word means... BIG BIG HELP HERE!!!!! my deadline is coming...

[ma1achite]

Further evidence that IE sucks. Great overview, thanks for the share.

[Mampfmaschine]

Nice overview. Another cool little feature in HTML5: the target attribute can now have the value "_blank". So no invalid code anymore if you use it.

[rata0071]

how about autofocus, placeholders and input types, html5shiv takes care of that? i'm using this features in a project and would like a js fallback for the old browsers.

[AndrewChan84]

I think we all should go all out on html5 right now! Since much of the features (though not all) are implemented in most browsers, this is truly a new way to communicate on the web. Why wait till 2022? By then something else, will take over assuming the world still exist....

@cornboy3 : I talk really slow, it annoys people. But I am not so stupid :)

[PeculiarTreasure195]

Great video. Thanks!

[xxdigipiratexx]

You could always do the script and style tags that way. It just wouldn't pass the w3 validation test.

[t8282]

Really nice video for a quick introduction in HTML5. Personally, I wouldn't apply all of these tips to my projects just yet. The reason is that my IDE (Visual Studio 2008) will give warnings for missing stuff, for example if a style or script tag has no type attribute.

[eldanieldeepak]

Thanks nice:)

[cornboy3]

Ever notice how smart people tend to talk a lot faster?

[Freddran]

@cornboy3 well many of them, not all.

[patlecat]

@cornboy3 No but I noticed that insecure young people often do.

[phulmetal]

@cornboy3 Vicky Pollard = Genius

[knissel]

@cornboy3 Ever notice how that isn't true

[utopiaopera]

My page won't validate when trying to use these HTML5 tags which you can "use right now". If I switch to !DOCTYPE html, it erros in w3c, then when I add the meta charset="utf-8", I get more validation errors!!! Revert back to the traditional stuff and the page validates no problem again...

[avelx]

@utopiaopera That is mainly because HTML5 is not finished yet so the W3C validator doesn't know about them yet. When the spec is finished and if they don't change it then you will find that it will validate properly. After all the W3C aren't going to waste time on changing the validator nearly everyday because they have enough on their plate with HTML5.

[utopiaopera]

@avelx -- Thanks.

[jamesshijie]

How well do these new "immediately apply-able" html5 elements work with IE6? It would be great if they are supported. Do you know if they are or not?

[cheatonly2win]

@jamesshijie use html5shiv, or modernizer, or just use js to fix it.

[nickHiebert]

Great Job Jeffrey Way. You're doing an awesome job on these videos. I'm learning HTML5 myself. I sort of have CSS3 more in the bag over HTML5.

I'm redoing my website in HTML5 and CSS3 so I'm very excited to see that NETTUTS is on the ball with tutorials. Learning all this is great.

Keep up the good work.

Nick

[SargoDarya]

"Welcome to Net Tits ... and in todays video quick tit..." somehow I think I misunderstood something

[letslearninfotech]

Very helpful. Planning to use this in my web design class.

[cm2jr4]

Is anyone else having trouble getting CSS background images to display in their HTML5 sites?

[vinchenzison]

Great Tips - Thanks

[Chrissz88]

Interesting stuff, going to try that in my next project. Thank You! Keep up the good work.

[freshasalwayz]

Awwesome. Thanks bro.

[paulolieuthier]

Very nice video! Thanks Mr. Way!

I'm from Brazil and I looooove Tutsplus!

[hpc01]

Thanks Jeffrey for keeping the HTML5 push.

[xav3x]

Awesome. Thanks Jeff!!

[osprey1993]

[mikaelz86]

[osprey1993]

@mikaelz86 Good to know, thanks. :)
