Storage and the Video Element - Course HTML 5 - an introduction of the new web language - Lesson 5 | web Developer courses

Duration:  18 minutes

Summary: In this video, we discuss few important features of HTML 5. We start with storage. We all know how important storage is in a browser since http is a stateless protocol. HTML 5 supports local storage and session storage. We start the first part by saving the date into a sessionStorage when the page is loaded, then retrieving it when the user clicks on a button. We then added tests to see if the browser supports localStorage and sessionStorage. We found out that both IE and Firefox support these storage features. Finally, we saw how easy it is to create a video element to show a video on the page. The controls attribute has many values such as: controls, loop, autoplay, and preload.
