HTML5 is being developed as the next major version of HTML. This Code can used for new functions that can benefit developers and internet users.

HTML5 introduces number of new elements and attributes. Here are most important of them

1. Canvas Element

   The Canvas Element can be used for rendering graphics, game graphics or the other visual reference on the fly.

   All done without having to rely on plug-ins. The possibilities are endless

2. Video Element

   Embedding Video used to be impossible without third-party plugins such as QuickTime or Flash.

   Thanks to Video now its possible

3. Geo location

   Sniffing users location is not a new thing on the web. In-fact most website already do this by IP address detection, but its not reliable. So HTML5's Geo location is an alternate method of correctly pinpointing a user's location. The new idea is to get the location information from WiFi towers and GPS.

4. Offline Web Applications

   The Offline Web Applications enable users continue interacting with web applications and documents even when there network connection is unavailable. The user can, for instance, can access email locally without having to connect to the internet or install an external client.
