New Web Browsers Improve Web Sites
Posted on the 6th July 2011.
The web is built on standards. The latest standard that is currently being finalised is HTML5. HTML5 is the language used to describe a web page. The new features in HTML5 (and related technologies) include:
- Visual effects like rounded corners, graduated fills, shadows and translucent elements. To deliver these effects before we used images which slowed down the loading of the web page.
- Improved support for video and audio.
- Added support for animation and interactivity. You can now have games in a web page.
- Improved form elements with validation and new form controls.
- Improved support for people with visual disabilities.
