@Sinethemba who told you HTML5 doesn't support images? Please don't give people incorrect information.

HTML5 is not a wholy new language. Most of the "old" tags make the core of it. How would you create an HTML document without html, head, body, h1-h6, p, ul, li, img, a.. etc? Well, technically you can but those tags and many more are still valid HTML. HTML5 means new tags added and some old ones removed.

Sinethemba, HTML 5 does support images. True though, HTML 4 did not support audios and videos on the HTML code. Symbian also does not support HTML 5. And it never may, except someone makes a browser for it that would. @ZinC👍

Ideally, no. This is because many people still use older browsers which do not understand the new parts that HTML 5 brings with it.

you shouldn't because HTML, HTML 4 and HTML 5 can team up to create awesome web. e.g. Html 5 doesn't support images while html and 4 does not support audios and videos! so you must not forget the old versions! And some people using old browsers like opera mini and cool browser which they do not support html 5! Symbian devices do not support html 5, only Androids, iPhones, Macs, Windows, smartphones and more!
