HTML5 documents have a much simpler doctype definition. This doctype kicks all current browser engines into standards mode (vs. quirks mode) and is the recommended W3C doctype for modern HTML.
<!DOCTYPE html>
Rounded corners work with Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera and IE9 Preview. Here is a workaround for older IE versions (not implemented here).
CSS:
width: 300px;
background-color: #cccccc;
border: 1px solid #999999;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;
Google recently featured a logo composed of small colorful bubbles that spent all their time avoiding the mouse cursor – the actual
bubbles were divs without any kind of graphics involved.
So how do you make a round div? If your div has round corners and the corner radius is half the size of your div so that the round corners actually meet,
the effect is that the div now appears round. The example above uses three separate styles for the three different sizes of the circles and inline styles for positioning and color. The CSS below is for
the small circles in the example above, with a div size of 40 pixels and rounded corners of 20 pixels.
CSS:
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;
border-radius: 20px;
background-color:#ffbbbb;
Object shadows work with Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera and IE9 Preview. Here is a great tutorial with many more examples for box shadows. There are also several workarounds for older versions of Internet Explorer.
CSS:
width: 300px;
background-color: #cccccc;
border: 1px solid #999999;
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #aaaaaa;
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #aaaaaa;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #aaaaaa;
padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;

Gradients are now finally becoming a mainstream feature with the WebKit team’s announcement (Jan 2011) of expanded support of the Mozilla flavor of the proposed W3C spec. Be aware that this spec seems
to be currently in need of editors at the WHATWG and while it is now supported identically by Mozilla and WebKit, there is no official specification.
Opera has also announced that they are working on the the gradient spec (developer tweet from October 2010), but we may have to wait for version 12 for the gradient support to surface.
The examples here work in the latest version of Firefox and in the WebKit Nightly Builds (January 2011) – it can be assumed that the next update of Safari will follow along.
Here is a simple linear gradient, browsers default to a top-to-bottom direction:
CSS:
width: 300px;
border: 1px solid #999999;
padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(#aaddaa, #ffffff);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(#aaddaa, #ffffff);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(#aaddaa, #ffffff);
background-image: linear-gradient(#aaddaa, #ffffff);
Here are some more complex examples – the WebKit blog has a good overview of the new syntax:
CSS:
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(135deg, #aaddaa, #ffffff);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(135deg, #aaddaa, #ffffff);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(135deg, #aaddaa, #ffffff);
background-image: linear-gradient(135deg, #aaddaa, #ffffff);
CSS:
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(45deg, #ffffff, #ffbbbb, #aaddaa, #bbbbff, #ffffff);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(45deg, #ffffff, #ffbbbb, #aaddaa, #bbbbff, #ffffff);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(45deg, #ffffff, #ffbbbb, #aaddaa, #bbbbff, #ffffff);
background-image: linear-gradient(45deg, #ffffff, #ffbbbb, #aaddaa, #bbbbff, #ffffff);
CSS:
background-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(200px 50px, circle, #ffffff, #ffbbbb 25%, #aaddaa 30%, #bbbbff 35%);
background-image: -moz-radial-gradient(200px 50px, circle, #ffffff, #ffbbbb 25%, #aaddaa 30%, #bbbbff 35%);
background-image: -o-radial-gradient(200px 50px, circle, #ffffff, #ffbbbb 25%, #aaddaa 30%, #bbbbff 35%);
background-image: radial-gradient(200px 50px, circle, #ffffff, #ffbbbb 25%, #aaddaa 30%, #bbbbff 35%);
Shadows work with Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera. There are workarounds for Internet Explorer.
CSS:
text-shadow: #666666 2px 2px 4px;
Usage:
text-shadow: [color] [y-offset] [x-offset] [blur-radius];
The color value can be either the first or last parameter for a shadow definition and multiple shadow definitions can
be added with a comma separator. Here is an example with two shadows applied:
It’s HTML5 in 3D! I hope you still have some of those red-green 3D glasses around…
CSS:
font-size: 22px;
padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;
text-shadow: #ee3333 -8px 0px 2px, #33ee33 8px 0px 2px;
Border images work currently with Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera. Here are some further examples.
Image:
CSS:
width: 300px;
padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;
color: #ffffff;
border-width: 10px;
-moz-border-image: url('../images/roundedcorner.png') 20 20 20 20 stretch stretch;
-webkit-border-image: url('../images/roundedcorner.png') 20 20 20 20 stretch stretch;
border-image: url('../images/roundedcorner.png') 20 20 20 20 stretch stretch;
Usage:
border-image: [image-source] [image-slice-from-top] [image-slice-from-right] [image-slice-from-bottom] [image-slice-from-left] [image-repeat-horizontal] [image-repeat-vertical];
This is a very complex CSS3 feature with a number of variations for all of the properties – I very much recommend reading the W3C spec. Here is also a very good tutorial exploring border images by Louis-Rémi Babé.
Here is another example for the practical use of border image in combination with the :after pseudo element.
CSS transforms work with Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera. This is one of the few new CSS properties where Opera also needs a vendor prefix, and its support is definitely still experimental with markedly limited text quality. For IE, it is possible to add similar effects via matrix filters.
Here is the full W3C spec for “CSS 2D Transforms Module Level 3” (yeah, I love that title, too!).
CSS:
margin: 50px 0 50px 0;
width: 200px;
-moz-transform: rotate(30deg);
-webkit-transform: rotate(30deg);
-o-transform: rotate(30deg);
transform: rotate(30deg);

Column Layout is supported in Safari and Firefox. This degrades gracefully on other browsers by reverting to a standard one column layout.
CSS:
width: 600px;
padding: 15px 15px 15px 15px;
-webkit-column-count: 2;
-webkit-column-gap: 30px;
-moz-column-count: 2;
-moz-column-gap: 30px;
column-count: 2;
column-gap: 30px;
Universal support for inline SVG in HTML 5 with SVGweb on all modern browsers and IE.
Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Opera render the SVG code natively, IE uses the SVGweb Flash renderer.
Inline SVG code (script tag enclosure is necessary for the SVGweb library which has to be included in the page):
<script type="image/svg+xml">
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"

Canvas has not been implemented in Internet Explorer up to version 8, however there is excanvas, a JavaScript library that implements most of the canvas functionality in IE. Canvas does work flawlessly in the latest versions of Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera.
Here is the inline canvas tag and JavaScript for the example above:
<canvas id="demoCanvas" width="300" height="150"></canvas>
<script type="text/javascript">
var canvas, graphics;
function draw_init() {
canvas = document.getElementById('demoCanvas');
if (canvas.getContext) {
graphics = canvas.getContext('2d');
}
draw();
}
function draw() {
var theme = ["#10222B","#95AB63","#BDD684","#E2F0D6","#F6FFE0"];
var x = Math.random() * 300;
var y = Math.random() * 150;
var size = (Math.random() * 100) + 20;
var num_circles = (Math.random() * 10) + 2;
for (var i = size; i > 0; i-= (size/num_circles)) {
graphics.fillStyle = theme[ (Math.random() * 5 >> 0)];
graphics.beginPath();
graphics.arc(x, y, i * .5, 0, Math.PI*2, true);
graphics.closePath();
graphics.fill();
}
t = setTimeout('draw()',1000);
}
draw_init();
</script>
The new fillText and strokeText canvas functions work with all fonts installed on the machine (unfortunately there is still no font download):
<canvas id="textCanvas" width="600" height="150"></canvas>
<script type="text/javascript">
var textcanvas, textgraphics;
function textdraw_init() {
textcanvas = document.getElementById('textCanvas');
if (textcanvas.getContext){
textgraphics = textcanvas.getContext('2d');
}
textdraw();
}
function textdraw() {
var texttheme = ["#004488","#0066aa","#0088cc","#00aaee","#00ccff"];
var textfont = ["Arial","Times New Roman","Comic Sans MS","Papyrus","Baskerville"];
var x = Math.random() * 600;
var y = Math.random() * 150;
var size = (Math.random() * 50) + 10;
textgraphics.font = size+"px '"+textfont[ (Math.random() * 5 >> 0)]+"'";
if (Math.random() > .5) {
textgraphics.fillStyle = texttheme[ (Math.random() * 5 >> 0)];
textgraphics.fillText("Sample String", x, y);
} else {
textgraphics.strokeStyle = texttheme[ (Math.random() * 5 >> 0)];
textgraphics.strokeText("Sample String", x, y);
}
t = setTimeout('textdraw()',950);
}
textdraw_init();
</script>
Here is an example of rotating text in a canvas with the canvas.transform method:
<canvas id="fxtextCanvas" width="600" height="150"></canvas>
<script type="text/javascript">
var fxtextcanvas, fxtextgraphics;
function fxtextdraw_init() {
fxtextcanvas = document.getElementById('fxtextCanvas');
if (fxtextcanvas.getContext){
fxtextgraphics = fxtextcanvas.getContext('2d');
}
fxtextdraw();
}
function fxtextdraw() {
fxtextgraphics.font = "16px 'Arial'";
var sin = Math.sin(Math.PI/6);
var cos = Math.cos(Math.PI/6);
fxtextgraphics.translate(300, 70);
var c = 0;
for (var i=0; i < 12; i++) {
c = Math.floor(255 / 12 * i);
fxtextgraphics.fillStyle = "rgb(" + c + "," + c + "," + c + ")";
fxtextgraphics.fillText("Sample String", 5, 30);
fxtextgraphics.transform(cos, sin, -sin, cos, 0, 0);
}
}
fxtextdraw_init();
</script>
We first load a jpg image as an object in fximage_init() and once the load event fires we draw the image unaltered to the canvas in the fximage_draw() function.
The fximage_grayscale() function is then called to loop through all the pixels of the canvas, converting each pixel to grayscale and then rewriting the image data to the canvas.
<canvas id="fximageCanvas" width="400" height="300"></canvas>
<a href="javascript:fximage_grayscale();">Convert to Grayscale</a> - <a href="javascript:fximage_draw();">Reset</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
var fximage = new Image();
var fximage_canvas, fximage_graphics;
function fximage_init() {
fximage_canvas = document.getElementById('fximageCanvas');
if (fximage_canvas.getContext){
fximage_graphics = fximage_canvas.getContext('2d');
}
fximage.onload = fximage_draw;
fximage.src = "http://www.themewerk.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/goldengate.jpg";
}
function fximage_draw() {
fximage_graphics.drawImage(fximage, 0, 0, 400, 300);
}
function fximage_grayscale() {
input = fximage_graphics.getImageData(0, 0, fximage_canvas.width, fximage_canvas.height);
output = fximage_graphics.createImageData(fximage_canvas.width, fximage_canvas.height);
w = input.width;
h = input.height;
inputData = input.data;
outputData = output.data;
for (var y=1; y<h-1; y++) {
for (var x=1; x<w-1; x++) {
i = (y*w + x) * 4;
grayscale = inputData[i] * .3 + inputData[i+1] * .59 + inputData[i+2] * .11;
outputData[i] = grayscale; // red
outputData[i+1] = grayscale; // green
outputData[i+2] = grayscale; // blue
outputData[i+3] = 255; // alpha
}
}
fximage_graphics.putImageData(output, 0, 0);
}
fximage_init();
</script>
Here is the full W3C spec for the Audio Element and here is a good overview of the audio tag and how to control media tags (audio and video) via JavaScript on Mozilla’s developer site.
Stories In Flight also hosts separate pages on HTML5 Audio and JavaScript Control and the HTML5 Audio Data API.
“Truth 2” by Jon Gilham used with permission by the artist.
HTML:
<audio controls="true" preload="metadata">
<source src="audio/Truth_2_Jon_Gilham.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" /><!-- Safari/IE9 -->
<source src="audio/Truth_2_Jon_Gilham.ogg" type="audio/ogg" /><!-- Firefox/Opera/Chrome -->
</audio>
Here is the full W3C spec for the Video Element and here is a good overview of the video tag and how to control media tags (audio and video) via JavaScript on Mozilla’s developer site.
The proposed W3C video tag also includes a <track> element that allows the inclusion of subtitles, however none of the browsers has currently a working implementation of this functionality. If you want to include subtitles, Stories In Flight also hosts the VideoSub library which allows the use of standards-compliant track elements in your videos right now.
HTML:
<video controls="true" preload="metadata" width="320" height="176">
<source src="video/jellies.mp4" type="video/mp4" /><!-- WebKit -->
<source src="video/jellies.ogg" type="video/ogg" /><!-- Firefox / Opera -->
