Introduction

This is my first hands on in HTML5. One day I thought about making an application which is simple and fancy looking as well. I had not worked earlier in HTML5, but once I saw the new features and tags in HTML5, I decided to make something new in core HTML. The biggest advantage in using HTML5 is that it is light weighted, platform independent and best for mobile applications like Iphone, Android (For Win 7 mobile, it’s not supported because Microsoft is still experimenting with HTML5 and has not yet introduced HTML5 in mobile). Enough about my thoughts, let's moves on to the application. This application is based on Login form, but it is not a simple authentication form.

In this article, we'll build a innovative login form, where the user drops a “webid” file in the login form to authenticate. The file contains an image and some information about the card holder. It uses a great feature of HTML5, WCF and feature called WebId.

System Requirements

The most essential requirement to run this application is HTML5 supported browser.

Browser: Firefox 3.6.3, Google Chrome 5.0, Apple Safari 4.05, Opera 10.53
