Finally HTML is going to get an update to version 5. With the update comes a big set of new tags that are more relevant to today’s Internet content. Some highlights:
- Section, Header, Footer, Nav, Article tags that replace all those divs we typically use for the same purpose
- The Aside tag, which is similar to a blockquote tag, but used for pullquotes, notes or sidebars of information
- Progress tag, with value and max attributes that can be used as a progress bar for processes in your page
- Video and Audio tags, to replace those messy object and embed tags
I’m excited to see how browsers implement the new spec, and how Javascript will be used to interact with the new elements (especially the progress bar).
