Differences between HTML 5 and earlier versions

The media attribute has been added for consitency with the <link> tag

The following attributes should not be coded on the <script> tag because they either have been deprecated or were never officially supported:

name - use the id attribute instead

In HTML 5, you can put the <a> tag around block elements in addition to inline elements. This means that links can appear where they couldn't before. For example, you can turn a whole HTML table row into a link:


         <table>
         

          <tr><td>Label:</td><td>Data...</td></tr>
         

          ...
         

          <tr onclick="location=this.getElementsByTagName('a')[0]">
         

          <a href="new-row.html"/>
         

          <td colspan="2">Add a Row</td>
         

          </tr>
         

         </table>
