I have a school project where we have to make a website for a client with a real-life issue (eg a business, organisation, etc.). And one of the requirements is to use a variety of resources like questionnaires, surveys, telephone interviews, emails, etc. for researching. Right now I'm at the stage where I'm starting to develop my final solution. I need to decide whether to stick with the old, stable XHTML or go with the new, hyped up HTML5 (leaning towards HTML5). I need your help guys. Here is my survey:

 

Software Usage at Work (Survey)

 

Please fill in this survey.

I think that the time has come to use HTML5, but have a look at the browser support here:-

and if any of the features you want to use aren't supported by IE versions 7 or 8 or 9 then it's probably best not to use those features. Sometimes there is a javascript alternative that works in IE.

HTML5 is simply the best. There will be no problem with browser support unless you wanna use tags like

<canvas>

,

<audio>

or else.

Yeah just use html5 and get the javascript shim from google for IE etc.

There is no reason not to use HTML5
