HTML5 and CSS3: The Game Changer
It’s finally here, and it came with a more to offer than we ever expected! It’s not ready for release quite yet, but it’s coming and you should definitely see what’s in store! Taking the lead from our XML integrative efforts as well as finally aknologing HTML5 incorporates features like video and musical playback, drag and drop functionality, and more semantic tags than ever.
A couple of feature highlights:
- new semantic tags like: <header>, <nav>, <footer>, <section>, <article>. Of course, you can also group these- like having a header inside of a section… (Why? think SEO- Spiders will understand your pages better with this kind of information)
- .otf and other font files rendered live on the server. So, no more client dependencies on fonts.. and no more image headers.
- rbga: Transparency support
- native SVG support
- text-overflow: ellipses; -Just what it sounds like- without the server-side solution.
- Column support -no more crazy wrappers!
- Rounded corners -you gotta see it to believe it!
- …and more!!
We found this great Google Developers video that helps to put a face to some of the features. Try not drool too much, and ENJOY!
