Firefox 3.5 and HTML5

By Paul Rouget.

Abstract

Do you know that the web is evolving?

First, the web was a document repository. Then, a world of applications. The technologies have to move the same way. That's why HTML5 exists.

HTML5 brings more adapted features for a modern web. HTML5 doesn't come alone. CSS3, JavaScript 1.8, SVG, ... aim to make the web experience better.

This includes offline storage, native video & audio, thread mechanism, downloadable fonts, more interaction with users, geolocation, and more. Firefox 3.5 is a new big step in this way.

Let's see how far we can go with the new standards and Firefox 3.5.
