A brief look at XHTML5 / Web Forms 2.0

Posted by Mike Skinner June 23, 2007

Although it will be quite some time until most users have HTML5 & Web Forms 2.0 capable browsers, Opera currently has some experimental support worth trying out.

Both drafts (HTML5 & Web Forms 2.0) are a joint effort between Opera Software, Apple Computer and the Mozilla Foundation.

If you have a recent version of Opera installed, head over to:
http://www.mikeskinner.net/xhtml5.php and checkout the more powerful controls and validation that will become available to web developers.

    The last version of the specification is available at http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/

    Thanks Karl, I have added it to my bookmarks. I’m actually quite chuffed that someone from the W3C found our tiny corner on the web ;-)

    I guess I now need to decide which to follow: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/ or http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/

    They both have the same date, so maybe it doesn’t matter.

    is actually Opera the only browser that support HTML5 and Web Forms 2.0 ?
