Nice Bed time read

unitedcraig · #3 Jan 28th, 2008, 21:28

When's this going to come into common use anybody know?

MikeHopley · #4 Jan 29th, 2008, 09:02

Ooooh, looks interesting.

Rakuli · #5 Jan 29th, 2008, 13:08

This looks to be the most promising version yet for fully separating presentation from content and also the addition of many new tags will greatly enhance semantics.

I will follow with interest.

Digging the topic up

Any idea when it going to be released?

alexgeek · #7 Feb 6th, 2008, 10:51

I just had a look about but I see no mention of a release date.

Working draft doesn't really say

just says it's the things they have looked at improving and agreed upon looking into more. Be nice when you can validate and use flash...

Interesting reading, but when this will usable and which browser support it. May be new fox will be ready for html 5. Also i see that for now they (w3) have a lot of issue to solve before gone stable and full browser compatible.

Best part:

Quote:

The following elements are not in HTML 5 because their usage affected usability and accessibility for the end user in a negative way:

frame
frameset
noframes

simonb · #11 Feb 9th, 2008, 20:55

Yep i never used that

unitedcraig · #12 Feb 9th, 2008, 21:16

at last

Jack Franklin · #13 Feb 17th, 2008, 23:18

That means no more frames

The best part is the new things like <footer> so now instead of <div id="footer"> it's just <footer>
Yep, I'm in love with this bit:

Quote:

header represents the header of a section.
footer represents a footer for a section and can contain information about the author, copyright information, et cetera.
nav represents a section of the document intended for navigation.

unitedcraig · #14 Feb 17th, 2008, 23:39

That is really good, saves adding divs all over the place

looking good this, anyone know of a date?

Jack Franklin · #15 Feb 17th, 2008, 23:45

No date as of yet. I wouldn't expect it to be too soon either.

The most significant improvement is the addition of header, footer and nav tags etc. These will give elements a more solid semantic meaning and will save on code.
