The Application Cache concept introduced by HTML5 means that a web application is cached, and accessible without an internet connection.

There are three advantages of Application Cache:

1.Offline browsing - users can use the application when they're offline

2.Speed - cached resources load faster

3.Reduced server load - the browser will only download updated/changed resources from the server

The new attributes provided in HTML5 for <form> are: 

a.) autocomplete

– It specifies if a form or input field should have autocomplete as on or off. 

– If autocomplete is on, the browser is able to fill the values based on the values filled by the user earlier. 

– autocomplete works for following input types: text, search, url, tel, email, password, datepickers, range, and color. 

b.) novalidate

- This is a boolean attribute. 

- When present, it signifies that the form-data should not be validated when submitted.
