html 5

Does anyone use html 5 yet, can browsers parse it yet, what is happening here?

The good news is that it is backwards compatible so you could use it now if you wanted to. However, very few of the new features are actually implemented in browsers yet so there is pretty much no point. You'll just end up using xhtml1/html4 with an html5 doctype.

Bit of humour here.

i use css3 for rounded edges and what not, cause IE (i think) is th only browser that doesn't really support it and it degrades very well.

Expect to be coding for HTML4 / css 2 for years and years though, you know how slow it takes some people to change browsers.

I've had a recommendation to use it from now onwards - if only because the DOCTYPE declaration is short and sweet... <!DOCTYPE html>

But for now, just don't use any HTML5 code... ast least until browser support is much improved.
