New Elements
HTML 5 provides a number of new elements and attributes that reflect the typical use of modern web sites. Some of them are technically similar to the labels
<div> and <span> but have a semantic meaning, eg <mav> (block site navigation) and <footer> Other elements provide new functionality through an interface such as elements <audio> and <video>
Some elements of HTML 4.01 are obsolete, including purely presentation as <font> and <center> whose effects are handled by the CSS. There is also a renewed emphasis on the importance of scripting DOM for behavior on the web.
