HTML5 interview questions and Answers:

What is SVG and advantages of SVG?

SVG is a language for describing two-dimensional vector graphics in XML.

SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphics

SVG is used to define vector-based graphics for the Web
SVG defines the graphics in XML format
SVG graphics do NOT lose any quality if they are zoomed or resized
Every element and every attribute in SVG files can be animated
SVG is a W3C recommendation

Code Example:

<?xml version=1.0 standalone=no?>

<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd&#8221;&gt;

<svg xmlns=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg&#8221; version=1.1>

<circle cx=100 cy=50 r=40 stroke=black
stroke-width=2 fill=red />
</svg>

Advantages:

Advantages of using SVG over other image formats (like JPEG and GIF) are:

SVG images can be created and edited with any text editor
SVG images can be searched, indexed, scripted, and compressed
SVG images are scalable
SVG images can be printed with high quality at any resolution
SVG images are zoomable (and the image can be zoomed without degradation)

Differences Between SVG and Canvas:

SVG is a language for describing 2D graphics in XML.

Canvas draws 2D graphics, on the fly (with a JavaScript).

SVG is XML based, which means that every element is available within the SVG DOM. You
can attach JavaScript event handlers for an element.

In SVG, each drawn shape is remembered as an object. If attributes of an SVG object are
changed, the browser can automatically re-render the shape.
Canvas is rendered pixel by pixel. In canvas, once the graphic is drawn, it is forgotten by the
browser. If its position should be changed, the entire scene needs to be redrawn, including any
objects that might have been covered by the graphic.

Difference between Transitional and Strict doctype.

Strict : This DTD contains all HTML elements and attributes, but does NOT INCLUDE
presentational or deprecated elements (like font). Framesets are not allowed.

Transitional : This DTD contains all HTML elements and attributes, INCLUDING
presentational and deprecated elements (like font). Framesets are not allowed.

What are New Semantic/Structural Elements

HTML5 offers new elements for better structure:
Tag Description
<article> Defines an article
<aside> Defines content aside from the page content
<bdi> Isolates a part of text that might be formatted in a different direction from other text
outside it
<command> Defines a command button that a user can invoke
<details> Defines additional details that the user can view or hide
<dialog> Defines a dialog box or window
<summary> Defines a visible heading for a <details> element
<figure> Specifies self-contained content, like illustrations, diagrams, photos, code listings, etc.
<figcaption> Defines a caption for a <figure> element
<footer> Defines a footer for a document or section
<header> Defines a header for a document or section
<hgroup> Groups a set of <h1> to <h6> elements when a heading has multiple levels
<mark> Defines marked/highlighted text
<meter> Defines a scalar measurement within a known range (a gauge)
<nav> Defines navigation links
<progress> Represents the progress of a task
<ruby> Defines a ruby annotation (for East Asian typography)
<rt> Defines an explanation/pronunciation of characters (for East Asian typography)
<rp> Defines what to show in browsers that do not support ruby annotations
<section> Defines a section in a document
<time> Defines a date/time
<wbr> Defines a possible line-break

Q 1- What is the difference between HTML and HTML5 ?

Ans: HTML5 is nothing more then upgraded version of HTML where in HTML5 Lot of new
future like Video, Audio/mp3, date select function , placeholder , Canvas, 2D/3D Graphics,
Local SQL Database added so that no need to do external plugin like Flash player or other

Q 2- What is the <!DOCTYPE> ? Is it necessary to use in HTML5 ?
Ans: The <!DOCTYPE> is an instruction to the web browser about what version of HTML the
page is written in. AND The <!DOCTYPE> tag does not have an end tag and It is not case
sensitive.
The <!DOCTYPE> declaration must be the very first thing in HTML5 document, before the
<html> tag. As In HTML 4.01, all <! DOCTYPE > declarations require a reference to a
Document Type Definition (DTD), because HTML 4.01 was based on Standard Generalized
Markup Language (SGML). WHERE AS HTML5 is not based on SGML, and therefore does not
require a reference to a Document Type Definition (DTD).

<aside> For content aside from the content it is placed in. The aside content should
be related to the surrounding content
<bdi> For text that should not be bound to the text-direction of its parent elements
<command> A button, or a radiobutton, or a checkbox
<details> For describing details about a document, or parts of a document
<summary> A caption, or summary, inside the details element
<figure> For grouping a section of
stand-alone content, could be a video
<figcaption> The caption of the figure section
<footer> For a footer of a document or section, could include the name of the author, the
date of the document, contact information, or copyright information
<header> For an introduction of a document or section, could include navigation
<hgroup> For a section of headings, using <h1> to <h6>, where the largest is the main
heading of the section, and the others are sub-headings
<mark> For text that should be highlighted
<meter> For a measurement, used only if the maximum and minimum values are known
<nav> For a section of navigation
<progress> The state of a work in progress
<ruby> For ruby annotation (Chinese notes or characters)
<rt> For explanation of the ruby annotation
<rp> What to show browsers that do not support the ruby element
<section> For a section in a document. Such as chapters, headers, footers, or any

4. </audio>
Q 7- What is the use of localStorage in HTML5?
Ans: 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 websites 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
1. <script type=text/javascript>
2. localStorage.name=PHPZAG;
3. document.write(localStorage.name);
4. </script>

created name as session
1. <script type=text/javascript>
2. sessionStorage.name=PHPZAG;
3. document.write(sessionStorage.name);
4. </script>
Q 9- What the use of Canvas Element in HTML5?
Ans: The canvas element is used to draw graphics images on a web page by using javascript like
below
1. <canvas id=pcdsCanvas width=500 height=400>
2. </canvas>
3. <script type=text/javascript>
4. var pcdsCanvas=document.getElementById(phpzagCanvas);
5. var pcdsText=pcdsCanvas.getContext(2d);
6. pcdsText.fillStyle=#82345c;
7. pcdsText.fillRect(0,0,150,75);
8. </script>
Q 10- What purpose does HTML5 serve?
Ans: HTML5 is the proposed next standard for HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0 and DOM Level 2
HTML. It aims to reduce the need for proprietary plug-in-based rich internet application (RIA)
technologies such as Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight, Apache Pivot, and Sun JavaFX.
Q 11- What is the difference between HTMl5 Application cache and regular HTML
browser cache?
Ans: HTML5 specification allows browsers to prefetch some or all of a website assets such as
HTML files, images, CSS, JavaScript, and so on, while the client is connected. It is not necessary
for the user to have accessed this content previously, for fetching this content. In other words,
application cache can prefetch pages that have not been visited at all and are thereby unavailable
in the regular browser cache. Prefetching files can speed up the sites performance, though you
are of course using bandwidth to download those files initially.
Q 12- HOW DO YOU PLAY A AUDIO USING HTML5?
Ans:
We can display audio using the tag as shown below:
1. <audio controls=controls>
2. <source src=test.mp3 type=audio/mp3 />

HTML5 offers two new objects for storing data on the client:
LocalStorage stores data with no time limit
1. <script type=text/javascript>
2. localStorage.lastname=ZAG;
3. document.write(localStorage.lastname);
4. </script>
SessionStorage stores data for one session.The data is deleted when the user closes the browser
window.
1. <script type=text/javascript>
2. sessionStorage.lastname=ZAG;
3. document.write(sessionStorage.lastname);
4. </script>
Q 14- HOW DO YOU PLAY A VIDEO USING HTML5?
Ans:
We can display video using the tag as shown below:
1. <video width=320 height=240 controls=controls>
2. <source src=test.mp4 type=video/mp4 />
3. </video>
Q 15- WHAT ARE THE NEW APIS PROVIDED BY THE HTML 5 STANDARD? GIVE
A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF EACH?
Ans:
The canvas element: Canvas consists of a drawable region defined in HTML code with height
and width attributes. JavaScript code may access the area through a full set of drawing functions

composition.
Timed media playback
Offline storage database
Document editing
Drag-and-drop
Cross-document messaging

DGTText.fillStyle=#82345c;
DGTText.fillRect(0,0,150,75);
</script>
(3) What is the purpose of HTML5 versus XHTML?
HTML5 is the next version of HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0 and DOM Level 2 HTML. It aims to
reduce the need for proprietary plug-in-based rich internet application (RIA) technologies such
as Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight, Apache Pivot, and Sun JavaFX. Instead of using those
plugins, it enables browser to serve elements such as video and audio without any additional
requirements on the client machine.
(4) What is the difference between HTML and HTML5 ?
HTML5 is nothing more then upgraded version of HTML where in HTML5 supports the
innovative features such as Video, Audio/mp3, date select function , placeholder , Canvas,
2D/3D Graphics, Local SQL Database added so that no need to do external plugin like Flash
player or other library elemenents.
(5) WHAT are some other advantages of HTML5?
a) Cleaner markup than earlier versions of HTML
b) Additional semantics of new elements like <header>, <nav>, and <time>
c) New form input types and attributes that will (and in Operas case, do) take the hassle out of
scripting forms.

(6) What is the <!DOCTYPE>? Is it mandatory to use in HTML5?
The <!DOCTYPE> is an instruction to the web browser about what version of HTML the page is
written in. The <!DOCTYPE> tag does not have an end tag. It is not case sensitive.
The <!DOCTYPE> declaration must be the very first thing in HTML5 document, before the
<html> tag. As In HTML 4.01, all <! DOCTYPE > declarations require a reference to a
Document Type Definition (DTD), because HTML 4.01 was based on Standard Generalized
Markup Language (SGML). WHERE AS HTML5 is not based on SGML, and therefore does not
require a reference to a Document Type Definition (DTD).
