Naveen Prabhu Quadwave Consulting Pvt.Ltd. HTML5 – Should you or Should you not?
Agenda • HTML 5 – The Standards • Browsers and HTML5 support • HTML5 Learnability • Perspectives of Web Designer, Developer and End User
HTML5 - The standards • HTML5 is the next major revision of the HTML standard, currently under development • The HTML5 specification was adopted as the starting point of the work of the new HTML working group of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in 2007 • The working group published the First Public Working Draft of the specification on January 22, 2008
HTML5 - The standards, continued… • The specification is an ongoing work, and is expected to remain so for many years and last heard, It is going to be a “Candidate Recommendation” only by 2012 • Complete adoption is scheduled for 2022
HTML 5 - The Current Stand • Parts of HTML5 are being and will be implemented in browsers before the whole specification reaches final Recommendation status • All standard Browsers today implement support for HTML5
HTML 5 - Learnability • HTML5 Syntax is what we know as current HTML and more • No learning new syntax • Backward compatibility HTML4.0 syntax is fully supported
HTML 5 – Different Perspective • Browser Implementation Outlook • Web Designer Outlook • Web Programmer Outlook • End User Outlook
HTML 5 – Browser Outlook • The DOCTYPE • A simple <!Doctype html> • The <!DOCTYPE> declaration has to be the first line in the HTML document. • The declaration is not an HTML tag; its an instruction to the browser
HTML 5 – Browser Outlook, Continued… • Managing Invalid Documents • If a user agent encounters an element it does not recognize, it should try to render the element's content • If a user agent encounters an attribute it does not recognize, it should ignore the entire attribute specification (i.e., the attribute and its value) • If a user agent encounters an attribute value it doesn't recognize, it should use the default attribute value • If it encounters an undeclared entity, the entity should be treated as character data
HTML 5 – Browser Outlook, Continued… • Standards remain, Rendering differs
HTML 5 – Web Designer Outlook • Better Layout Structure: New Structural Elements • <section> • <header> • <nav> • <article> • <aside> • <footer> <header> <section> <nav> <aside> <header> <header> <footer> <footer>
HTML 5 – Web Designer Outlook, Continued…. • Better Layout Structure: New Structural Elements • Elements like header and footer are not meant to be only at the top and bottom of the page, meant more to be header and footer of each document section • Not very different from <DIV> tag but are more semantically well defined in the document structure
HTML 5 – Web Designer Outlook, Continued…. • New attributes
HTML 5 – Web Designer Outlook, Continued…. • New <input> type(s)
HTML 5 – Web Designer Outlook, Continued…. • Media Tags • <audio> • Attributes: autoplay, controls, loop, src • <video> • Attributes: autoplay, controls, loop, height, width, src
HTML 5 – Web Programmer Outlook • HTML5 APIs • Canvas • Drag and Drop • Offline Applications • Local Storage • Extension to HTMLDocument
HTML 5 – Web Programmer Outlook, Continued…. • <Canvas> • creates a fixed size drawing surface that exposes one or more rendering contexts • getContext(“2d”)
HTML 5 – Web Programmer Outlook, Continued…. • Drag and Drop • <element> attribute draggable = “true” • Events: dragstart, dragstop
HTML 5 – Web Programmer Outlook, Continued…. • Offline Applications • Cache manifest file • Every page of your web application needs a manifest attribute that points to the cache manifest for the entire application • Manifest file should contain Content-Type header (text/cache-manifest) • Forcible cache update – applicationCache.updated()
HTML 5 – Web Programmer Outlook, Continued…. • Local Storage • Store data locally • Similar to cookies, but can store much larger amount of data • Same Origin Restrictions • localStorage.setItem(key, value) • localStorage.getItem(key)
HTML 5 – Web Programmer Outlook, Continued…. • HTMLDocument Object Extensions: • getElementsByClassName() • innerHTML • hasFocus • getSelection()
HTML 5 – End User Outlook • Provides a very rich user experience without Plug-ins • RIA replacement? • Better Performance • Leverages GPU for better graphical experience
