Difference Between HTML4 and HTML5

Hi,

The primary one is consistent, defined error handling.
The secondary goal of HTML5 is to develop the ability of the browser to be an application platform, via HTML, CSS, and Javascript

And these are the new things in HTML5

New parsing rules oriented towards flexible parsing and compatibility
New elements – section, video, progress, nav, meter, time, aside, canvas
New input attributes – dates and times, email, url
New attributes – ping, charset, async
Global attributes (that can be applied for every element) – id, tabindex, repeat
Deprecated elements dropped – center, font, strike
