HTML 5

While developing a web app today, I ran across the new features of HTML 5.  Until recently few browsers supported HTML 5 so there was little point in using the new features.  Most modern browsers now support these features so they can now be used in general development.  Just make sure you warn the user they are using an old browser if the browser they are using doesn't support the features you are using.  Some of the added benefits is the easy to use "pickers" .  Instead of having to use complex JavaScript to allow a user to select a date, HTML 5 can do the hard work for you.   Other "pickers" include time, date, color, number, etc.    If you want to learn more about how to put these new features to work for you, visit this website: http://diveintohtml5.info/forms.html
