<device/> Content Model

Contents of the device element

Content: Empty. All properties are coded using attributes.

Since the <device/> tag is a void element, it is not allowed to have any content, even HTML comments and therefore should always be coded as a self-closing standalone tag, ending with the delimiters /> rather than just > (<device .../>).

What's new in HTML 5

The <device/> tag is one of the new elements in HTML 5.

Differences between HTML 5 and earlier versions of HTML

The <device/> tag did not exist in older versions of HTML.

The 2000-2010 Recommendations from the W3C HTML Working Group defined the HTML namespace for the names of all HTML element types, which now includes the device element name. In older (pre-2000) versions of HTML, element type names were not associated with a namespace.
