      </script>

    18. Question 18. What Is The Use Of Localstorage In Html5 ?

      Answer :

      Before HTML5 LocalStores was done with cookies. Cookies are not very good for large amounts of data, because they are passed on by every request to the server, so it was very slow and in-effective. 

      In HTML5, the data is NOT passed on by every server request, but used ONLY when asked for. It is possible to store large amounts of data without affecting the website's performance and the data is stored in different areas for different websites, and a website can only access data stored by itself.

      And for creating localstores just need to call localStorage object like below we are storing name and address

      <script type="text/javascript">
      localStorage.name="PCDS";
      document.write(localStorage.name);
      </script> 
      <script type="text/javascript">
      localStorage.address="Mumbai India..";
      document.write(localStorage.address);
      </script>

    19. Question 19. What Is The Sessionstorage Object In Html5 ? How To Create And Access ?

      Answer :

      The sessionStorage object stores the data for one session. The data is deleted when the user closes the browser window. like below we can create and access a sessionStorage here we created "name" as session:

      <script type="text/javascript">
      sessionStorage.name="PCDS";
      document.write(sessionStorage.name);
      </script>

    20. Question 20. What’s New Html 5 Doctype And Charset?

      Answer :

      Normally for HTML files first line of code is DocType which basically tells browser about specific version of HTML. HTML5 is now not subset of SGML. As compared to previous version/standards of HTML, DocType is simplified as follows:
                        <!doctype html>
      And HTML 5 uses UTF-8 encoding as follows:
                       <meta charset=”UTF-8″>

    21. Question 21. How Can We Embed Audio In Html5?

      Answer :

      HTML 5 comes with a standard way of embedding audio files as previously we don’t have any such support on a web page. Supported audio formats are as follows:
      •MP3
      •Wav
      •Ogg.

      Below is the most simple way to embed an audio file on a web page.
      <audio controls>
          <source src=”jamshed.mp3″ type=”audio/mpeg”>
          Your browser does’nt support audio embedding feature.
      </audio>

      In above code, src value can be relative as well as absolute URL. We can also use multiple <source> elements pointing to different audio files. There are more new attributes for <audio> tag other than src as below:
      •controls – it adds controls such as volume, play and pause.
      •autoplay – it’s a boolean value which specifies that audio will start playing once it’s ready.
      •loop – it’s also a boolean value which specifies looping (means it automatically start playing after it ends).
      •preload – auto, metadata and none are the possible values for this attribute.
           •auto means plays as it loaded.
           •metadata displays audio file’s associated data
           •none means not pre-loaded.

    22. Question 22. What Are The New Media Element In Html 5 Other Than Audio And Video?

      Answer :

      HTML 5 has strong support for media. Other than audio and video tags, it comes with the following tags:

      <embed> Tag: <embed> acts as a container for external application or some interactive content such as a plug-in. Special about <embed> is that it doesn’t have a closing tag as we can see below:

      <embed type=”video/quicktime” src=”Fishing.mov”>

      <source> Tag: <source> is helpful for multiple media sources for audio and video.

      <video width=”450″ height=”340″ controls>
           <source src=”jamshed.mp4″ type=”video/mp4″>
           <source src=”jamshed.ogg” type=”video/ogg”>
      </video>

      <track> Tag: <track> defines text track for media like subtitles as:

      <video width=”450″ height=”340″ controls>
           <source src=”jamshed.mp4″ type=”video/mp4″>
           <source src=”jamshed.ogg” type=”video/ogg”>
           <track kind=”subtitles” label=”English” src=”jamshed_en.vtt” srclang=”en” default></track>
            <track kind=”subtitles” label=”Arabic” src=”jamshed_ar.vtt” srclang=”ar”></track>
      </video>

    26. Question 26. What Is The Difference Between Html 5 Application Cache And Regular Html Browser Cache?

      Answer :

      One of the key feature of HTML 5 is “Application Cache” that enables us to make an offline version of a web application. It allows to fetch few or all of website contents such as HTML files, CSS, images, javascript etc locally. This feature speeds up the site performance. This is achieved with the help of a manifest file defined as follows:
      <!doctype html>
      .....

      As compared with traditional browser caching, Its not compulsory for the user to visit website contents to be cached.

      In order to achieve Application Cache feature in HTML5, a manifest file is used as follows: 
      <!doctype html>
      …..

      Manifest file is basically a text file that dictates what needs to be cache or not if Application Cache is enabled. Followings are the four main sections of a manifest file where CACHE MANIFEST is the only required section: 

      •CACHE MANIFEST
      •CACHE
      •NETWORK
      •FALLBACK

    27. Question 27. What Is Web Forms 2.0 In Html5?

      Answer :

      Forms Section in HTML5 is known as Web Forms 2.0. It’s basically an extension to HTML4 forms features. Web Forms 2.0 in HTML5 provides comparatively a greater degree of semantic markups than HTML4 as well as removing the need of lengthy and tedious scripting and styling, as a result making HTML5 more richer but simpler in use.

    28. Question 28. Briefly Explain Cache Manifest File In Html5 With An Example?

      Answer :

      Cache manifest file is simply a text file that dictates the browser, what to store for offline access? It basically list down the required resources for offline access.

      </> Following is an example of a simple manifest file:

      CACHE MANIFEST
      /decorate.css
      /work.js
      /amazing.jpg

      So, the resources mentioned in above manifest file (decorate.css, work.js, and amazing.jpg) will be downloaded and cached locally for offline access.

    29. Question 29. What Is An Html5 Web Worker?

    30. Question 30. What Are The Limitations Of Html5 Web Worker?
