HTML 5 - errrr nice if it works24th Jan '08 by Andy I'm going to notify anyone that hasn't already seen this (and would care) that the recent HTML 5 summary has been released showing some of the improvements we can expect to see, this is actually quite exciting news if you're a web developer and are sick of some of the gaping holes in HTML 4 that we've all had to code around, which will be patched up (fingers crossed) and one day browsers will support, of course the speed at which web standards get supported it will probably be a good 5 years before these can be used, and a further 5 before we can realistically use them in commercial applications, but hey, one day.
These developments include among other things 10 new input types (because yes, believe it or not web pages will want users to input date selections, I know I'm shocked as well) as well as many other new tags which all seem to make sense, and the best news, the framset tag is being shot down as well as its frame and noframes counterpart.
