Recently, I have heard about HTML 5 from one of my friend. I am not understanding why HTML has changed version. What is the difference between HTML 4 & HTML 5? Is there any new features in HTML 5? Please inform me. I Googled but not understood. Describe the details here in an easy way.
Thanks in advance.
well every new version got some things fixed and some things removed that you have to findout, i cant say all the new things in html 5 but imma just explain it so basically HTML5 is the new standard and everything that html 5 got is supported by the most browsers.
means like in html 5 No More <frame>, <center>, <big>, if you use them and use w3c for html5 validation you see some errors , its outdate , useless :D
theres new elements like <canvas> and other things that is new in html 5 or has been kicked from the code
my opinion : stop using those codes that has been kicked from html 5 and stick to the new style of coding like dont use <b> <font> , use the css instead, btw theres a lots of links about it
you said you googled but im gonna link this anyway : http://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/
hope it helped
