AGENDA ITEMS
• What’s different from XHTML to HTML5

• Building with HTML5 (You are here.)

• Video

• Audio

• GeoLocation ... and more!

• Prizes! http://interactwithwebstandards.com/

HTML 4.01 Transitional DTD:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">

XHTML 1.0 Transitional DTD:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>AUSTIN, TX BBQ RESTAURANTS</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>....</h1>
<p>...</p>
</body>
</html>

18

EXERCISE
• Go to HTML validator at
http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input

• Then type the following HTML (below) and hit validate:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<title>Small HTML5</title>
<p>Hello world</p>

19

<img src=“ﬁle.png” />

23

<IMG SRC=ﬁle.png />

24

<iMg SrC=ﬁle.png />

25

<IMG SRC=ﬁle.png />

26

<video controls=controls>

27

EVERYTHING THAT
WAS BAD IN 1999
IS GOOD AGAIN

28

RELEARNING SYNTAX
• Attribute quotes “not really” required

• UPPERCASE and lowercase HTML elements allowed

• So is CaMeLcAse typing.

• No more need to do self-closing tags like <IMG /> or <BR />

• Also, no more minimalization. So, this is okay: <dl compact>

• Basically, everything that was bad from HTML4 in XHTML5 is good again.

• Full circle, baby! One more time.

DIV ID=“header”
DIV ID=“nav”

<SECTION>

<FOOTER>
32

ARTICLE VS ASIDE VS
SECTION

• Molly Holzschlag, Opera standards evangelist, says:

• <section> clariﬁes <div>

• <article> 'replaces' <div id="content">

• <aside> 'replaces' <div id="sidebar">

• Chris Mills, Opera browser employee, plays it safe:
http://boblet.tumblr.com/post/130610820/html5-structure1

33

WHAT ABOUT THE DIVS?

• Marc Grabanski, jQuery and HTML5 guy:

• “div has no meaning whatsoever, so there is nothing semantic about
divs”

• Bruce Lawson, Opera browser employee:

• “Like all semantic questions, it depends on the context. If your only
reason for wanting an element is to group stuff for styling, it's a div.”

HTML5, MICROFORMATS
& METADATA

48

“Designed for humans ﬁrst and
machines second,
microformats are a set of simple,
open data formats built upon
existing and widely
adopted standards.”

50

“HTML design patterns for common
chunks of content that web builders need
to markup anyway.”

“Oh, and Google understands them, too.”

51

REPLACING ABBR

• <ABBR> element is used by screenreaders to expand abbreviations
like “lbs” or “NCAAP”

• However unintended consequences occurred trying to workaround
browser bugs for other HTML elements

• What happens when a screenreaders text like this:

• “Let’s go to <abbr class="geo"
title="30.300474;-97.747247">Austin, TX</abbr>”

55

POSTSCRIPT

• <ABBR> issue has ben resolved with new pattern (dropping <ABBR>
altogether):
http://microformats.org/wiki/value-class-pattern

• <p>Let’s go to <span class="geo">51° 30' 48.45", -0° 8'
53.23" (<span class="value">51.513458;-0.14812</
span>)</span> </p>

56

DATA-ATTRIBUTE

• You can set data-attribute to any element you want.

• Set meta information that can be utilized by JavaScript or CSS later on.

<img src=“john-smith.jpg”
data-imgtype=“mugshot”
alt=“John Smith’s mugshot”>

57

ATTR SELECTOR

img[data-imgtype=“mugshot”] {
/* CSS rules go here */
}

58

HTML4 HEADINGS

• h1

• h2

• h3

• h4

• h5

• h6

60

POP-QUIZ

• How do you code for the main title of your site and the main
article/post/content of the page?

• Two H1s for both main title and content

• H1 for main title, then H2 for content

• H2 for main title, then H1 for content

61

XHTML2’S HEADINGS

• Had an “h” element, without a numeral

• Using the <section> element to determine its value:

• <section><h></h></section> = <h1>

• <section><section><h></h></section></section> = <h2>

62

HTML5’S HEADINGS

• Keepold system rather than introduce a new element, move away
from numbered headings

• However, adds the <section> element

• Also the <hgroup> element

• More insistence on keep hierarchy:

• h1 to h6

63

<HEADER>
• <header> contains information found at top of a page

• title,

• subtitle,

• and navigation

• Also, it can include an <hgroup>

• Canbe placed anywhere in a document except <footer> and
another <header>
64

<article>
<header>
<h1>The Great Gastby</h1>
<p>A book report by Christopher Schmitt</p>
</header>
<p>stuff goes here</p>
</article>

65

<article>
<header>
<hgroup>
<h1>The Great Gastby</h1>
<h2>A book report by Christopher Schmitt</h2>
</hgroup>
</header>
<p>stuff goes here</p>
</article>

66

<HGROUP>
• Can contain more than one heading

• In fact, must contain at least two heading elements

• Example: intended for titles and subtitles

• Keep hierarchy of heading elements

• h1 through h6

• Don’t need to place them in <hgroup> or <header>

67

HTML5 AUDIO

• AUDIO element attributes are SRC, AUTOBUFFER, AUTOPLAY,
LOOP, CONTROLS

• If you don’t have CONTROL, player becomes transparent

HTML5 VIDEO

• WIDTH and HEIGHT should be required, IMO, but movie plays anyway
based on the values in the video ﬁle itself.

• Video formats may have their own posterframe. The browser should
use that by default unless overridden by valid POSTER attribute value.

• Text can be included within VIDEO element to allow user to download
video if their browser doesn’t support.

• If you want to give users control, use CONTROL attribute.

81

HTML5 VIDEO

• Video can start automatically if using the AUTOPLAY=”1” attribute and
value.

• Spec provides for LOOP, AUTOBUFFER which also take a value of O
or 1.

• Codecs support...

82

HTML5 VIDEO
“It would be helpful for interoperability if all browsers could
support the same codecs.
However, there are no known codecs that satisfy all the
current players: we need a codec that is known to not require
per-unit or per-distributor licensing, that is compatible with the
open source development model, that is of sufﬁcient quality as
to be usable, and that is not an additional submarine patent
risk for large companies.
This is an ongoing issue and this section will be updated once
more information is available.”

audio-codecs-for-video-elements
83

CODECS
• Ogg (or “Vorbis”)

• No need to worry about patents

• H.264

• Created by the MPEG group

• If you have blu-ray disc player, you are using it

• WebM

• A wrapper for the VP8 video and Ogg audio streams

LESSONS LEARNED

• Use VLC or Firefogg to encode common movie ﬁles types to OGG

• H.264 encoding? Use Handbrake

• If you are hot to trot for HTML5 Video, like, right now, check out Mark
Pilgrim’s tutorial:
http://diveintohtml5.org/video.html

• Good primer:

SRT FILES
• SRT files are text files used in video playback; therefore, they do
not contain any video data.

• Text
file containing subtitles used by various video playback
programs; supported by DivX, DVD, and other video formats;

• Includesthe time each subtitle should be displayed followed by
the text of the subtitles.

• Subtitlefiles are often named according to the language of the
subtitles, i.e. "moviename-eng.srt" for English and
"moviename-ger.srt" for German subtitles.

HTML5 & GEOLOCATION

107

if (navigator.geolocation) {

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition
(show_coordinates);

function show_coordinates(position){

alert('Your latitude is ' + position.coords.latitude + ' ' +

'and your longitude is ' + position.coords.longitude +
'.');

}
}

...or use Modernizr!
