Depends on what you are talking about.

Flash 10.2

Canvas

SVG

and HTML5 are the current animated web engines.

It depends on version of Internet explorer. Latest one support the canvas tag.

Modern day browsers can create images. They can use HTML5 canvas to create images.

Some new tags that were introduced in HTML5 are header, footer, main, aside, canvas, svg, source, audio, and video. The canvas and svg are most notably used for creating online applications and games, something that was only possible before with flash.

There are much, much more possibilities of HTML5, and it is not possible to list them all here.

Here is a good resource, however: w3schools.com/html/html5_new_elements.asp

People are saying HTML5 will simply take over Flash instantly. This isn't going to happen. HTML5 still is behind Flash in the number of features, and will be for years. HTML5 isn't yet compatible with all browsers, and it never will be, assuming Microsoft, Google and Firefox start forcing browser updates.

HTM L5 is actively working with JavaScript in many ways, such as Geolocation and Canvas.

There is heaps you can do with HTML5, all you need to do is use a search engine to see whether what you want to do is possible.
