HTML5 includes Web form additions, such as semantic input types, new selection options and new validation tools, that make it easier to:

• enter information into forms when using touchscreen keyboards and small mobile device screens.
  
• enter information into forms whose code has not been properly validated.
  
• submit forms without the use of server-side scripts for processing.
  
• submit forms to CSS3 scripts for processing.
  

How can you best ensure that the Web forms you develop using HTML5 and CSS3 render properly on various browsers?

• Incorporate into your forms the new HTML5 input types and attributes introduced on various HTML5 browser support Web sites.
  
• Test the Web forms thoroughly on various browsers and browser versions.
  
• Validate your CSS using a popular validation service such as the W3C Markup Validation Service.
  
• Ensure that the Web form data submitted by users is processed on the server side by JavaScript scripts only.
  

Many of the new HTML5 elements and attributes are semantic, which means that:

• their purpose is not obvious to a human reading the code.
  
• they will not work properly in previous versions of HTML.
  
• they clearly describe their purpose to a human reading the code.
  
• they may not render similarly in various browsers.
