Any specific tools are there to develop the application using html 5?
I had used Aptana studio, I feel it is not fully user friendly tool to write a html 5 application.
http://marakana.com/bookshelf/html5_tutorial/index.html take a look at that for starter points.
This is a great, easy to read tutorial which will almost definitely help you learn HTML5 and CSS - http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/news/30-days-to-learn-html-and-css-a-free-tuts-premium-course/
For debugging, you can use Chromes developer tools (F12 on the keyboard) or the same on Opera & Internet Explorer. For Firefox download "Firebug".
Another "debugging" tool is http://html5.validator.nu/ which will validate your HTML and show any errors.
Notepad++ is a great free app to start developing HTML5 on, you can also use others, for example Aptana is a great IDE. For one with a GUI, I'd advise purchasing Dreamweaver, it is expensive but I say it's the best for learners.

I have been using Adobe Dreamweaver (2005) for doing web development. I recent switched to VS Code. Dreamweaver has a built in browser where I can inspect a HTML element and it will find it in the editor immediately. This comes in really handy especially when I'm working on messy projects that have been evolving for years. I really like a lot of things about VS Code but this feature is important in saving me a lot of time. Is there any way to get this feature in VS Code?
Thanks
The feature you're looking for is now built into every major browser in the form of dev tools: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/open#elements
You can simply click on an element, and in a separate pane, you will be shown the corresponding code.
You can also link DevTools directly to VS code via the extension debugger for chrome in the VS code marketplace - or debugger for Firefox, etc.
However, I recommend starting with the browser dev tools if you're not familiar with them already, as they are simple to use and require no configuration.
I have looked at numerous posts that discuss embedding the Mozilla browser control in a VB.NET app, however they were all written many years ago and are incomplete, like: How to create simple browser with Mozilla ActiveX Control with VB.NET?.
I was able to have a little success (display an HTML file with CSS3 and JavaScript) by embedding cefSharp into my VB.NET app, but cefSharp adds hundreds of MB. One of the posts said they believed that the Mozilla browser control (v1.7.12) was an exact replacement for the VS 2019 .Net web browser control, but there was no information on how to make the switch. Please advise if the Mozilla browser control is a good alternative, and if so, point to a tutorial or other information for making it work...or is there another choice?
You must use 3rd party library for this. You can use either GeckoFx for Firefox engine, or CefSharp for Chrome engine.
I have developed an POS system for a Restaurant in HTML running in Firefox. This is working well, and with some fixes in the about:config file of Firefox I can get it to run relatively smooth (e.g. suppress the print dialogue). However Html does not have full access to printers and scanners the way a native desktop application has.
I'm now looking for a solution that I can develop a native desktop application for Mac and PC but keep what I have, by showing it a sort of "Web View" ( I know this from Objective-C/Xcode programming). The idea is to have the software watch out for links in the HTML code, e.g.

Can anyone give me a hint which language and software development environment I should work with, my current skills are:
Html, PHP, Mysql - Excellent
Objective-C / Xcode - Medium
Javascript - Medium
Thanks a lot for any help
Checkout node.js and its WebKit module. It can run natively packed JavaScript and you can easily write c style extensions to do anything else you need.
I'd like to analyze the structure of some complex web pages that I've visited. Manually parsing out tags in the HTML source is tedious and prone to errors.
I'd like to find a utility that will accept HTML source (or a URL) as input, and show the hierarchical arrangement of the HTML elements, including source and id attributes, preferably in a treeview.
I was confident that it should be easy to find such a tool, but a few Google searches haven't turned up anything for me. I'm still confident that such a tool exists. Can the community help me find something? (I'm a Windows user and of course would prefer free if possible.)
IE8+ and Chrome both have wonderful developer tools built right in. Just visit a webpage and in IE, press F12, and in Chrome, go to wrench->tools->developer tools. They both show the tree view of the page as well as let you modify it. They're both very powerful.
Most browsers have a DOM viewer built in. Firefox has a third party extension that provides this.
These will all show the DOM after error recovery has been performed by the browser, before then you can't be sure that a valid tree could be constructed.
You can also use any good editor like Notepad++ which has highlighted syntax and node collapsing.
As other have mentioned, most modern web browsers have "developer tools" built into them which include a way to browse the HTML source in a tree-view. I've put together a quick screenshot comparison of the tools that the latest versions of the top five browsers (Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 4, Chrome 12, Opera 11 and Safari 5) offer.

Use firebug or DOMinspector addon on firefox.
Download Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org/) and install the
Firebug addon https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firebug/) BOTH ARE FREE
The usual recommendations for a web development and debugging web browser are Firefox/Firebug or Safari/Web Inspector.
But I like Google Chrome, and would like to use this as my primary development browser. What plugins or tools should I get to optimise my web programming experience with Chrome?
Google Chrome's own "Firebug" is very good, just right click and inspect element to bring it up.
Frame two pages is helpful.
Chris Pederick's Web Developer toolbar is good too.
The Development and Coding Search (Chrome extension) is one of many Chrome extensions for developers. See the featured web development extensions for more developer-friendly extensions.
Pendule has a lot of good bits and bobs under one extension/icon. Few things I like about it...

There are probably tons of alternatives, but it's the best I've seen so far.
