HTML 4 has been around for nearly a decade now, and much have happened since HTML 4 landed.

This means only a few of the new elements have been implemented in latest browsers and you need to be careful how to approach this. Knowing that HTML 5 will eventually hit us keeping track with the new goodies coming up and how HTML 5 develops can’t be waste of time – and even fun.
