How to Tackle HTML5 for Cross Browser Compatibility?

Why HTML5? In past few years there is a sudden increase in the demand of modern hand held computers like smart phones and tablets in the industry. This is because of better user experience that these devices impart to the end users. The demand is still going up in an exponential rate with time. To meet the demand, a large volume of smart phone and tablets are flooded in the market in different shapes, sizes and budget. With such a variation in these devices, it becomes a headache for the web developer to deal with the complexities arise due to their variable size and hardware. Moreover these devices are powered with different types of browsers like Firefox, Chrome and Opera etc. So it becomes even tougher for the web developer to develop a good web application which can be run on different platforms without giving any bad experience to the end user. To achieve the same web developers are relying on HTML5 along with few other technologies to serve better to the users.

custom HTML5 development company, HTML5 development services, hire HTML5 developersHTML5 has a wonderful local storage feature: Besides smart phones and tablets web developer also responsible to enable his application to run on desktop browsers. Since there are a good numbers of browsers in the industry it becomes an annoying task for the web developer to design a common application that can run on different browsers. Fortunately HTML5 has a local storage concept to deal with browser optimisation. It is like a big size cache for the browser that helps the application in eliminating unnecessary interaction with the data base. As a result the efficiency of the application improves and it gives a better user experience. Moreover due to large size cache it enables the browser to display web pages in offline mode due to the storage of web form data in the browser itself. So it eliminates different cache memory related issues of the browsers.

HTML5 is the key for responsive web app: With different browsers, HTML contents behave differently. This is because of configuration difference between the browsers. To tackle this situation, web developer used to write some extra codes in the style sheets so that all the browsers will display in a similar manner. Fortunately HTML5 has some inbuilt libraries that can eliminate this issue to a large extent and it can be eliminated totally with the help of CSS3 along with HTML5.

While dealing with various layouts of a web page, a web developer need to write specific codes to deal with various components of the layout like Header, Footer, Heading, Article Title, Contents and Sidebars etc. For each of these components a web developer must write a different script to achieve a proper layout. But a HTML5 developer doesn’t need those scripts for these types of layouts. This is because of the inbuilt tags which are off course extra tags in HTML5 available for HTML5 developers to deal with such layouts. It has tags like Header, Footer and Title etc which automatically deals with the layout issues. The best part is all these tags are multiple browsers compatible. To add this, HTML5 developer doesn’t need to write any long DOCTYPE as before in case of HTML4. To get maximum benefits of HTML5, you may consider hiring services of a
