HTML5 Anyone?

Has anyone started using HTML5 for webdesign? How important do you think is HTML5 for SEO right now?

 

All new pages we create are done with html5. Whether you use it or not has nothing to do with seo.

 

html version does not effect to SEO but use every tag properly.

 

what is html 5?

 

Are all browsers capable of supporting HTML 5?

 

Only the modern browsers which means, of course, not IE, but it can be forced with javascript.

 

Full support of HTML5 isn't covered by every browser yet, is it? I've only been reading about it here: html5demos . com
From what I've seen, anything that I can do in HTML5 can already be done with one of the jQuery libraries (which is what we've been using), or through Flash Remoting. Maybe "Dr. Howard Dr Fine" can chime in as to an additional advantage of HTML 5?

 

A complete implementation of HTML5 isn't possible because the document isn't finished yet. Modern browsers (not IE) can handle the parts of HTML5 that are most likely not to go away or change, such as the new section, footer, header, article, video, audio, etc. elements.

Why would you be using a jQuery library or Flash to implement HTML? I don't think you are. I think you are using jQuery to perform animation, video and/or CSS3 type transformations. The advantage of not using jQuery or Flash is nothing needs to be installed, no libraries need to be downloaded, and the code is run natively in the browser. Flash doesn't work on most cell phones, Apple products and runs poorly on *nix/BSD.

 

What is the big improvement of HTML 5 over HTML 4? I've read a few things but it seems to be mainly highly technical documents out there, can anyone explain in more lay-man terms?

 

Some of the major items are: semantically correct element names that can be used in proper context, that is, you can have multiple sections in a document/page with each section having its own heading (<h1>) that won't conflict with other sections. Documents can be divided up into their own areas (sections) and contain <article>s. Errors in markup will have a defined fail method. New elements such as <canvas> for drawing, <video>/<audio>, so you don't need Flash. SVG is more integrated into HTML5.

All of those things are available in all the modern browsers today. Of course that means none of it works in IE and won't for at least a year or two.

 

I believe it's still under production. Hasn't been released yet.

 

Does nobody on DP ever read previous posts?

 

Yeah, HTML5 video can be viewable on electronic devices, such as iPhone, I use HTML5 in my site.
