W3C Publishes HTML 5 Draft 1

[BabyJeffy]

Here is a Press Release that covers the announcement from the W3C today, and a quick summary (from the press release):

Some of the most interesting new features for authors are APIs for drawing two-dimensional graphics, embedding and controlling audio and video content, maintaining persistent client-side data storage, and for enabling users to edit documents and parts of documents interactively. Other features make it easier to represent familiar page elements, including <section> <footer>; <nav> (for navigation), and <figure> (for assigning a caption to a photo or other embedded content). Authors write HTML 5 using either a "classic" HTML syntax or an XML syntax, according to application demands.

All good stuff!

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

And there's me thinking someone had left a window open.


draft, gerrit?



I'll get my coat.


More seriously, isn't the proposed deployment time something like 10 years.

Awesome, new block level elements, new inline elements, embedded media changes and more!

I just wish there was a display property to make an element inline, but still support block level properties like height and width. Similar to the <img> tag, but on a <div> or other tags. It would be nice to be able to specify the height and width on an inline element w/o floating it.
