A simple HTML5 document:
![]()
The <html> tag is supported in all major browsers.
The <html> tag tells the browser that this is an HTML document.
The <html> tag represents the root of an HTML document.
The <html> tag is the container for all other HTML elements (except for the <!DOCTYPE> tag).
HTML5 has added a new attribute: manifest.
The xmlns attribute is required in XHTML, but is invalid in HTML.
However, the HTML validator at http://w3.org does not complain when the xmlns attribute is missing in an XHTML document. This is because the namespace "xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" is default, and will be added to the <html> tag even if you do not include it.
New : New in HTML5.
| Attribute | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| manifestNew | URL | Specifies the address of the document's cache manifest (for offline browsing) |
| xmlns | http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml | Not supported in HTML. Only for XHTML. Specifies the XML namespace attribute (If you need your content to conform to XHTML) |
The <html> tag also supports the Global Attributes in HTML.
The perfect solution for professionals who need to balance work, family, and career building.
