HTML5 – Blueprint of the Future Home Page
This web site presents an overview of HTML 5 and CSS 3. Its purpose is to denote the differences between HTML 4.01 and the new standards, currently in their final draft, for HTML 5. Some of the new supported modules in CSS 3 are employed as well. There are some exciting new standards and enhancements in store for developers and designers as the working w3c document continues to evolve. How we design and code our pages in table-less format is going to change. As soon as the browsers catch up to the additions and enhancements to HTML 5 and CSS 3, a more robust and dynamic set of coding tools will become available to us.
This site is coded using the new tags and structure as defined by w3c standards in HTML 5. Many of its presentational aspects have been defined using some of the new features available in CSS 3. Fallbacks have been included to manage browser specific proprietary code.
At the time of this writing, the site is best viewed in Safari, which has taken the leading edge for HTML 5 and CSS 3 support. Firefox and Chrome also offer good support while not all modules are supported as of yet. Explorer 9 is claiming to be fully compliant when it is released at some point in the near future. A beta version of IE9 is available for download for those that wish to have a look and see. A word of caution though, the download will replace your current version of IE.
It is now safe to say all of the major browsers support HTML 5 and CSS 3. Chrome has taken the lead with a robust tool kit for developers.
First published in December of 2010, the following authoring tools were employed to successfully complete the project.
