features that can be used to change the way of user interaction with documents
including:
·
Adding new parsing rules to enhance flexibility.

has high-level video and audio support. |
High-level
video and audio support is not a part of the version and specifications in
the previous HTML. |
|
Canvas, SVG and other virtual vector
graphics are supported in HTML5. |
In HTML, if we want to implement vector
graphics, that was only possible by using third party library like VML,

Web SQL database, application cache and
web storage is used as permanent storage. |
Browser cache can be used as temporary
storage. |
|

Doctype declaration is simple and easy. |
Doctype declaration is long and
complicated.. |
|
Allows
drag and drop effect. |
Does
not allow drag and drop effect. |
|
Attributes of Async, charset, and ping
are available. |
These attributes are not available in
HTML. |
|

Q #9) What is image map in
html5?
Answer: Image
maps are a combination of URL and images, where clicking on these images
(clickable area of the image) will open different new web pages.
Two types of image maps are

The client-side image map is created
by using two elements <area> and <map>, where the map holds the map information
and the area element takes the attributes to define each section of the map. Server-side image map created by using <usemap> attribute, the usemap attribute is
the name of our map.

word MathML (Mathematical Markup Language) is a markup language, that is used
to show scientific and mathematical expression on the web. MathML is a form of
XML (extensible markup language) to describe the Math notation.
We can use <math>…</math> tags inside the HTML5
documents for implementing MathML element.
Example: print
a²+2b+5=0 using HTML5 code.
|
<!doctype html> <html> <head> <meta charset= “UTF-8”> <title>MathMl
Example</title> </head> <body> <math xmlns=> <a
href="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML</a> ”> <mrow> <mrow> <msup> <mi>a</mi> <mn>2</mn> </msup> <mo>+</mo> <mrow> <mn>2</mn> <mo/> <mi>b</mi> </mrow> <mo>+</mo> <mn>5</mn> </mrow> <mo>=</mo> <mn>0</mn> </mrow> </math> </body> </html> |

increase the performance of our applications.
There are two types of web
storage that are used to store data locally in HTML5:
·
Local storage: This stores the data that will not
expire or clear automatically when a user closes or reopens a browser.

session only(i.e, a user who is surfing the internet or website). Once the
browser is closed, session data will automatically delete from the web browser.
Q #17) Explain Geolocation API
in HTML5.
Answer: Geolocation API is used to locate a user’s
geographical position.
For privacy
reasons, the user is asked for permission to report the location information.
Use the navigator.geolocation.get current position() method
to get the user’s position and geographical coordinates (longitude and latitude
number).
For example, to Return the latitude
and longitude position of a user is shown below.
|
|
Example Explained:
·
Check, if Geolocation is supported or not.
·
If Geolocation is supported, run the getCurrentPosition()
method. If Geolocation is not supported, display the error message to the user.
·
If getCurrentPosition() method is successful, it returns
coordinates and functions specified in the parameter.
·
The showPosition() function, gets the output – Longitude and
Latitude.

(width X height) is the default pixel size of canvas.
Example to Draw square Box
using canvas element is shown below.
|
|
b) SVG: <svg> Scalable
Vector Graphics, are mostly used for graphical application and scalable vector
type diagrams, such as X, Y coordinate system, two-dimensional and pie charts.
This makes it faster and lightweight. SVG follows XML format.
Example to draw a
Rectangle using SVG element is shown below.
