HTML5 introduced to the web planet to do your Web development programs more efficient, powerful, and flexible. It conveys a host of innovative aspects and attributes to allow developers to make their program more easily understood by other systems. It deals with data in a unique manner, and also executes the role of the complex JavaScript or browser plug-ins such as Silverlight and Flash to deal with. Below we have listed down some new HTML5 tags that will make it easier for you to write on your Web sites.

1: <video> and <audio>

Multimedia items can be played using Silverlight, Flash, and similar technologies. But now with the help of HTML5 supporting video and audio controls, a few new technologies are possible.

2: <input> type attributes

There is a wide variety of type attributes, knowledge of which will eliminate a lot of wasteful JavaScript work. For instance, set type to “datetime” the browsers will show a calendar / clock controls to select the right time.

3: <canvas>

Here the <canvas> tag provides HTML5 a bitmapped surface to deal with, just like what you would use with the .NET Image object or GDI+ or. <Canvas> is an excellent way to build charts and graphs that have been a traditional weak spot in HTML, and custom graphics.

4: <header> and <footer>

The two most popular semantic tags available are <header> and <footer>. Both of these tags will do its work on the display level only. It is used while dealing with search engine efforts. With the help of this the search engine will able to differentiate between the original content and the other important things other than the original content listed.

5: <article> and <section>

Two other more semantic tags that will enhance your search engine visibility are the <article> and <section> tags. An article refers to a full block of content, whereas a section represents a piece of a bigger whole.

6: <output>

This is a unique, new <output> tag, which expects its content to be created dynamically with JavaScript. It has a valuable aspect that will be manipulated through the DOM with JavaScript to modify the display of the screen content.

7: <details>

It deals in expanding and collapsing the text block. While this is easy enough in doing with JavaScript however, the <details> tag makes it even more easy platform to manage.

8: <figure> and <figcaption>

The tag <figure> is a container for content typically images and <figcaption> provides a caption or subtitle for the contents of the <figure> tag.

9: <progress>and <meter>

Both the tags <progress> and <meter> are somewhat similar. You use <progress> for a task to know how much portion is completed till now. The <meter> tag is to measure gauges and measurements of value regarding thermometers, quantity used, etc. Though both the tags look alike on the screen in several situations, but they do have different semantic meanings.

10: <datalist>

Here in the <datalist> tag the system supplied a set of pre made suggestions listed and at the same time it give the flexibility to the user to type their own input as well. This is another issue which can be done natively with HTML5 but presently requires a bunch of JavaScript to manage.
