Editorial Review :
If you don't know about the new features available in HTML5, now's the time to find out. The latest version of this markup language is going to significantly change the way you develop web applications, and this book provides your first real look at HTML5's new elements and attributes. Even though work on HTML5 is ongoing, browsers such as Safari, Mozilla, Opera, and Chrome already support many of its features -- and browsers for smart phones are even farther ahead, especially iPhone's MobileSafari browser. With HTML5: Up & Running, you'll learn how this new version enables browsers to interact with JavaScript much more easily than before. You'll also learn how HTML5 can help you develop applications that: - Display video directly in the browser, without having to rely on plugins
- Work even when a user is offline, by taking advantage of HTML5's persistent storage
- Offer a drawing canvas for dynamically generated 2-D graphics
This concise guide is the most complete and authoritative book you'll find on the subject. Author Mark Pilgrim writes the weekly digest for the HTML5 Working Group, and represents Google at conferences on HTML5's capabilities. Stay ahead of the curve. Order a copy of this book today.
by Mark Pilgrim
1. It’s not one big thing. You may well ask: “How can I start using HTML5 if older browsers don’t support it?” But the question itself is misleading. HTML5 is not one big thing; it is a collection of individual features. So you can’t detect “HTML5 support,” because that doesn’t make any sense. But you can detect support for individual features, like canvas, video, or geolocation.
You may think of HTML as tags and angle brackets. That’s an important part of it, but it’s not the whole story. The HTML5 specification also defines how those angle brackets interact with JavaScript, through the Document Object Model (DOM). HTML5 doesn’t just define video tag; there is also a corresponding DOM API for video objects in the DOM. You can use this API to detect support for different video formats, play a video, pause, mute audio, track how much of the video has been downloaded, and everything else you need to build a rich user experience around the video tag itself.
Chapter 2 and Appendix A will teach you how to properly detect support for each new HTML5 feature.
2. You don’t need to throw anything away. Love it or hate it, you can’t deny that HTML 4 is the most successful markup format ever. HTML5 builds on that success. You don’t need to throw away your existing markup. You don’t need to relearn things you already know. If your web application worked yesterday in HTML 4, it will still work today in HTML5. Period.
Now, if you want to improve your web applications, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s a concrete example: HTML5 supports all the form controls from HTML 4, but it also includes new input controls. Some of these are long-overdue additions like sliders and date pickers; others are more subtle. For example, the email input type looks just like a text box, but mobile browsers will customize their onscreen keyboard to make it easier to type email addresses. Older browsers that don’t support the email input type will treat it as a regular text field, and the form still works with no markup changes or scripting hacks. This means you can start improving your web forms today, even if some of your visitors are stuck on IE 6.
Read all the gory details about HTML5 forms in Chapter 9.
3. It’s easy to get started. “Upgrading” to HTML5 can be as simple as changing your doctype. The doctype should already be on the first line of every HTML page. Previous versions of HTML defined a lot of doctypes, and choosing the right one could be tricky. In HTML5, there is only one doctype: !DOCTYPE html
Upgrading to the HTML5 doctype won’t break your existing markup, because all the tags defined in HTML 4 are still supported in HTML5. But it will allow you to use -- and validate -- new semantic elements like article, section, header, and footer. You’ll learn all about these new elements in Chapter 3.
4. It already works Whether you want to draw on a canvas, play video, design better forms, or build web applications that work offline, you’ll find that HTML5 is already well-supported. Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, and mobile browsers already support canvas (Chapter 4), video (Chapter 5), geolocation (Chapter 6), local storage (Chapter 7), and more. Google already supports microdata annotations (Chapter 10). Even Microsoft -- rarely known for blazing the trail of standards support -- will be supporting most HTML5 features in the upcoming Internet Explorer 9.
Each chapter of this book includes the all-too-familiar browser compatibility charts. But more importantly, each chapter includes a frank discussion of your options if you need to support older browsers. HTML5 features like geolocation (Chapter 6) and video (Chapter 5) were first provided by browser plugins like Gears or Flash. Other features, like canvas (Chapter 4), can be emulated entirely in JavaScript. This book will teach you how to target the native features of modern browsers, without leaving older browsers behind.
5. It’s here to stay. Tim Berners-Lee invented the world wide web in the early 1990s. He later founded the W3C to act as a steward of web standards, which the organization has done for more than 15 years. Here is what the W3C had to say about the future of web standards, in July 2009: Today the Director announces that when the XHTML 2 Working Group charter expires as scheduled at the end of 2009, the charter will not be renewed. By doing so, and by increasing resources in the HTML Working Group, W3C hopes to accelerate the progress of HTML5 and clarify W3C’s position regarding the future of HTML. HTML5 is here to stay. Let’s dive in.

Question : What is general rule for the decreased value of a repaired sinkhole home?
Does anyone know if there is a general % point? Example: your home is now worth 25% less then others in the area due to the repaired sinkhole. I'm looking to get an idea to see if re-sale is even possible.
Answer:
I doubt there is a general percentage. I imagine the size of the sinkhole and the severity of the damage would undoubtedly factor in.

Question : What general objection can you use in a divorce case set for the day of trial?
What general objection can you use in responses to request for production of documents for a divorce case set for the day of trial? Where can you find a list of such objections? If there are about 800-1000 pages of papers involved such as banking statements, brokerage house statements for many years, should you make all the copys for the court and for the other party, or just bring the original documents to the court at the date of the trial?
Answer:
oh my goodness - you need to speak to an attorney... there is no general objection you can make... it's evidence and if it exists you have to get it. you generally bring 3 copies - one for the court, one for you, and one for the other party.

Question : What general types of tissue have been afflicted in a second degree burn?
What general types of tissue have been afflicted? If you get a second degree sunburn.
Answer:
"Second degree" is an outdated term. Burns are classified as Superficial, Partial Thickness, and Full Thickness. By second degree sunburn I guess you mean more than just reddened painful skin. I am also guessing that you mean fluid filled blisters have formed or are beginning to form. I would highly recommend getting out of the sun. These burn could be serious and require medical attention. The tissues that would be afflicted would be the epidermis and dermis.

Question : How many semesters of General Chemistry do you need for Mechanical Engineering?
I am currently taking the first semester of General Chemistry at my local community college. I am planning to transfer to a four-year university next fall. I thought I needed two semesters of General Chemistry for Mechanical Engineering, but my chemistry professor told me yesterday, that most engineering students only need one semester of chemistry.
Answer:
I only had to take one at my university but it all depends on the university that you plan to transfer to. They will be able to tell you for a fact if they require 2 chemistry or 1 chemistry classes.

Question : What is the general difference in sea level for high and low tides?
I assume (based on general ignorance and forgetfulness) that high and low tides are generally steady in their respective levels and that their absolute levels are cyclical, based on lunar position.What is the average difference in average high and low tides and what is the absolute difference in the lowest low and the highest high tide?What is the general speed of tidal change and what is the general flow rate of tides on, either (or both) pacific or atlantic oceans?Thanks!
Answer:
It depends on the latitude and the morphology of the local sea floor and shoreline. In the Arctic Ocean the tidal range is less than 0.8 meters in some areas. Here is a map of tidal range for the Arctic Ocean:http://fvcom.smast.umassd.edu/research_projects/ArcticGlobalM/images/arctic_bathy_image.jpgThe highest tide on earth is near Wolfville in Nova Scotia (Bay of Fundy). The difference between high and low tide levels is as much as 16 meters (52.5 feet).http://museum.gov.ns.ca/fossils/protect/tides.htmKeep in mind that the moon is not the only force that creates the tides. The sun also plays a role, so when the sun and moon have gravitational pull in the same alignment, there will be higher and lower tides. Tides are very predictable based on the cycles created by the rotation of the moon around the earth and the earth's rotational position relative to the sun. It is very difficult to answer your question about average differences, since this cannot be easily quantified in order to average it. Tidal height charts and reporting for much of the world:http://tbone.biol.sc.edu/tide/Tidal cycles are of three types: semidiurnal (two high, two low per day), diurnal (one high and one low per day) and mixed tides with a higher high tide, a medium high tide, and a lowest and higher low tide each day. Examples are: Semidiurnal tides are found along the east coast of Florida; Diurnal tides are found along the Gulf Coast of Florida west of Apalachicola; Mixed tides are found from the Florida Keys to Apalachicola. The absolute lowest tides by National Ocean Service definition, are 0.1 feet, since anything with less than this is not defined as a tide. Tides must be at least two hours apart to be considered as a tide by this same definition. See: http://data.labins.org/2003/SurveyData/WaterBoundary/MHW/documents/2typeoftide.pdfTidal cycles repeat over a 24 hour 50 minute period, with a full cycle variation of 18.6 years based on the declination of the moon. As for speed: (I quote) "An idealized tidal wave would move across Earth at 1,600 kilometers per hour (1,000 miles per hour) at the equator. Because tides are an extreme example of a shallow-water wave, friction with the ocean floor slows tides to a speed of about 700 kilometers per hour (435 miles per hour)." from http://www.waterencyclopedia.com/St-Ts/Tides.html

Question : Can you clarify the difference between "general" and "clinical" population and why a difference exists?
I am reading a statistic that reads"Lifetime prevalence is estimated at 1% in the general population and 2% to 16% in clinical populations"I understand the difference between the 1% general population estimation and the 2% to 16%, but I can't understand how this figure is reached or why the general population estimate is 'less' than the clinical one. Why would these two differ? Are the clinical studies not meant to represent the general population unless otherwise noted? How would one arrive at the answer of what the general population estimate would be and how could it be less?
Answer:
I imagine general population refers to everybody in the country while clinical population refers to those with symptoms.For example; I might say the prevalence of diabetes in the general population is 2% but in the clinical population (ie. those that experience symptoms of diabetes) the prevalence is 15%. This is then basically saying that 85% of people experiencing diabetes symptoms don't actually have the disease.Statistics for general population are gotten by randomly testing a sample size of all races, sexes, ages etc, regardless of symptoms. Clinical population statistics are gathered by GPs who target patients experiencing the relevant symptoms and test them to get prevalence in a clinical population.When the word clinical is used in medicine it normally means symptomatic.
