The HTML5 progress Tag

Using the HTML5 <progress> tag is not as easy as utilizing other tags for HTML5. It has limited compatibility when it comes to web browsers. This is only accepted in Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome. Web browsers like Internet Explorer and Safari do not work well with it.

However, using the HTML5 <progress> tag is necessary if the author would like to place a progress bar for a task within the document. It is best to incorporate JavaScript when utilizing the HTML5 <progress> tag.

On a lighter note, pairing other attributes with the HTML5 <progress> tag is easy because it is capable of supporting the Event Attributes and Global Attributes in HTML5.

The HTML5 <progress> tag is not used in HTML4.01 so there can not be any comparison when it comes to its use.
