Which is better? – Why prefer one over another? I think HTML5 is the future. I also believe that Flash has always been a nuisance rather than an asset (and I think since 1999, eight years before it becomes a problem on the table by Apple ).

I believe the right way is to develop on HTML5 for everyone involved, and these are my five reasons why it is better to Flash:

  1. It is native. No need for plugins , extra amenities or load external components to the browser. Flash, unfortunately, being heavy and often need to consume so many resources faster the battery and use a large percentage of the processor.
  2. It does not belong to anyone, is a markup language that can be used by anyone and is supported by all modern browsers. Flash, however, is the owner, serves the interests of one company, Adobe. May be altered to taste them if needed (for whatever reason, economic, by company policy, etc.)
  3. Maintains the overall user experience the web, run the previous and next buttons in the browser, does not operate within a “sandbox” as with Flash, is not limited to the area assigned to the plugin.
  4. All items with all effects and all hierarchies needed to build a fully functional graphical interface to support a web application is 100% possible using HTML5 + CSS + Javascript. Flash was used as a replacement. Gmail is the perfect example. Even more so if viewed from a mobile device. Did you know that the version of Gmail for IPAD is much higher than the native application made by Apple?
  5. Adaptable, flexible, scalable platform. While insisting Adobe, Flash on mobile phones remains a goal too far, meanwhile build interfaces for the desktop or the mobile is quite real today on the two platforms.

Is there hope for Flash? Of course, but not in the platform development of applications or in building web sites made of 100% with this plugin. I think that Flash works well for games and animation elements for certain very particular, very far away from this “solution for anything” that Adobe (or Macromedia before being acquired) tried to sell for years.

With a similar aesthetic to jQuery, drawing on the canvas that is <canvas /> is as simple as this:


  <head>
  <!--[if IE]><script type="text/javascript" src="http://explorercanvas.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/excanvas.js"></script><![endif]-->
  <script src="./doodle-0.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    function init() {
      (function(oo) {
  oo.canvas('#my_canvas');
  oo.rect({x:25, y:25, width:50, height:50}).draw();

})($doodle);

    };
  </script>
  </head>
  <!--init() is called when the canvas is ready for us.-->
  <body onload="javascript:init();">
    <canvas id="my_canvas" width="600" height="400">
      <p>Fallback: Canvas element is not supported in this browser!</p>
    </canvas>
  </body>

Although the idea is very good and it might be interesting to have this in the new HTML5. The proposal is for December 2008 and so far no developments.
The idea is to include the tag HTML5′s ability to handle subtitles:

<video src="http://example.com/video.ogv" controls>
<text category="CC" lang="en" type="text/x-srt" src="caption.srt"></text>
<text category="SUB" lang="de" type="application/ttaf+xml" src="german.dfxp"></text>
<text category="SUB" lang="jp" type="application/smil" src="japanese.smil"></text>
<text category="SUB" lang="fr" type="text/x-srt" src="translation_webservice/fr/caption.srt"></text>
</video>

As we can see in the above code, we would be including the text tag that would allow us to establish the lang attribute of the subtitle language and select it from your control in your browser (the preset default language of your browser) .

The tag <text />
Only indicate the location of the subtitle file to load src indicating the language lang and type type of a subtitle that we carry.

For now …
At the moment we can make use of SRT jQuert to simulate the result with Javascript.

<!-- Javascript -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.srt.js"></script>

<!-- HTML  -->
<video src="http://example.com/video.ogv" id="video" controls>
<div class="srt"
data-video="video"
data-srt="http://example.com/video.srt" />

The idea is interesting when the films arrive officially to the Internet. Huh?

comboboximage_030608

This is an extension that allows items of <select /> have an image to facilitate the selection of items within a list of options.
To do this using an attribute (not standard) element <option /> named icon which will indicate where we’ll take the image next to <option />

?View Code HTML
 <select name="webmenu" id="webmenu" onchange="showValue(this.value)">
    <option value="calendar" icon="icons/icon_calendar.gif">Calendar</option>
    <option value="shopping_cart" icon="icons/icon_cart.gif">Shopping Cart</option>
    <option value="cd" icon="icons/icon_cd.gif">CD</option>
    <option value="email"  selected="selected" icon="icons/icon_email.gif">Email</option>
    <option value="faq" icon="icons/icon_faq.gif">FAQ</option>
    <option value="games" icon="icons/icon_games.gif">Games</option>
    <option value="music" icon="icons/icon_music.gif">Music</option>
    <option value="phone" icon="icons/icon_phone.gif">Phone</option>
    <option value="graph" icon="icons/icon_sales.gif">Graph</option>
    <option value="secured" icon="icons/icon_secure.gif">Secured</option>
    <option value="video" icon="icons/icon_video.gif">Video</option>
  </select>

After a line of JavaScript with this attribute will be housed within an image <select />

This technique very convenient for displaying large amounts of information in a small space usually give a headache to match all the information.

byslidermenu

With BySlideMenu never have problems. This is a MooTools plugin that allows us to make a wide variety of accordions, with very few lines of code.

HTML:

The HTML code we use to generate our accordion will be based on a list of elements:

?View Code HTML
<ul id="pinclickmenu">
    <li><img src="creditcards.jpg" /></li>
    <li><img src="games.jpg" /></li>
    <li><img src="computer.jpg" /></li>
    <li><img src="eiffeltower.jpg" /></li>
    <li><img src="electronic.jpg" /></li>
</ul>

Each <li/> will be one of the elements that make up the accordion.

JavaScript:

?View Code JAVASCRIPT
var pinclickmenu = new BySlideMenu('pinclickmenu', {pinMode: 'click'});

As we see fewer lines is impossible :D

Demos and Downloads:

You can see more demos and download the plugin from the project page.

Happy Programming!!! ;-)

HTML 5 specifies two variants of the same language: a ‘classic’ HTML text/html the variant known as HTML 5 and a variant XHTML called XHTML 5. This is the first time in HTML and XHTML have been developed in parallel.
The development of this code is governed by the Consortium W3C.

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.

Mostly Web Programmers Multilanguage in ASP.NET is by using Localization & Resource rules. But this rule cant use with HTML, PHP etc. Now I’m changing to new rules with Google AJAX Language API. It is very useful for programmers. Click here to read about Localization & Resource

Advantage & Disadvantage

Advantage:
1: Reduce programming time
2. Reduce file size, In Localization & Resource rules, we need resource files by each language
3. No need to find meaning of unknown language for creating site
4. Only one language to store in XML or..5. No need C# & VB.NET.

Disadvantage:
1. Need Internet connection for connecting to Google AJAX Language API’s Script

Click here to read about Google Language AJAX API.
I have a sample program as below. I Hope you will understood.

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
