HTML5 has become an umbrella term for everything including CSS3. It’s not!

It’s an upgrade to the HTML specification

It provides backward compatibility

Enhances some tags and brings new semantic tags

Programmatic components like Canvas & Drag-and-Drop

What can be considered part of HTML5 then? Canvas – API for 2D drawing

Audio & Video – In-browser audio & video; no plugins

New semantic elements such as article, footer, header, nav & section

Sub-projects:

Web Storage

Geolocation

Drag and Drop

How to tell what you can use? http://www.caniuse.com/

So What’s in It?

What is NOT in HTML5 then? CSS Transforms – rotation, scaling, skewing of elements

CSS Transitions – transitions between CSS property changes

Border Radius – rounded corners

Box Shadow- shadow selected elements

@font-face – web fonts

This is CSS3!!

What’s Not?

…or cats, babies and staplers.

What are Developers Raving About?

The Cool Stuff: New semantic elements such as article, footer, header, nav

Semantic HTML Tags

<address> Written by:<br/> <a href="/people/show/23">Timothy Fisher</a>, <br/> Address: 25296 Hunter Lane, Flat Rock, MI 48134 <br/> Phone: 555-1212</address>

Address applies to the nearest Article or Body tag.

More Semantic HTML Tags

Address

Prior to HTML5 the Address element applied to the document/body as a whole

<div class="car" data-brand="ford" data-model="mustang"> <button class="fire"> </div>

More Semantic HTML Tags

Data Attributes

//Using DOM's getAttribute() propertyvar brand=mydiv.getAttribute("data-brand") //returns "ford"mydiv.setAttribute("data-brand", "mazda") //changes "data-brand" to "mazda"mydiv.removeAttribute("data-brand") //removes "data-brand" attribute entirely

//Using JavaScript's dataset propertyvar brand=mydiv.dataset.brand //returns "ford"mydiv.dataset.brand='mazda' //changes "data-brand" to "mazda"mydiv.dataset.brand=null //removes "data-brand" attribute

Custom data attribs were always possible but prior to HTML5 they would cause validation errors.

<section> <hgroup> <h1>Mobile Phones</h1> <h2>Different Smart Phones</h2> </hgroup> <p>Some of the more popular mobile smart phones</p> <article> <h1>Apple iPhone</h1> <p>A popular smart phone from Apple.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Android-based Phones</h1> <p>A series of smart phones that use the Google Android operating system.</p> </article></section>

More Semantic HTML Tags

Section, hgroup, Article

These elements replace many of your divs

<figure> <img src="ninja_guy.jpg" alt="A Standing Ninja Guy."> <figcaption>Cool Ninja Guy</figcaption></figure>

More Semantic HTML Tags

Figure and Figure Caption

Cool Ninja Guy

The browser can position the caption for you

More Semantic HTML Tags

Menu and Command<menu label="Hero List"> <command type="radio" radiogroup="herolist" label="Spiderman"> <command type="radio" radiogroup="herolist" label="Superman"> <command type="radio" radiogroup="herolist" label="Batman"></menu>

a simple radio button group

<menu type="toolbar"> <li> <menu label="File"> <button type="button" onclick="file_new()">New...</button> <button type="button" onclick="file_open()">Open...</button> <button type="button" onclick="file_save()">Save...</button> <button type="button"onclick="file_saveas()">Save As...</button> </menu> </li> <li> <menu label="Edit"> <button type="button" onclick="edit_copy()">Copy...</button> <button type="button" onclick="edit_cut()">Cut...</button> <button type="button" onclick="edit_paste()">Paste...</button> </menu> </li> </menu>

Automatically show native controls<video src=”ironman.mp4” controls />

Video

Codec Support

<video controls/> <source src=”ironman.mp4” /> <source src=”ironman.webm” />

</video>

Video

ironman.mp4ironman.webm

<audio src=” teenage_dream.mp3”></audio>

<audio controls> <source src=”teenage_dream.mp3”/> <source src=”teenage_dream.ogg”/></audio>

Audio

Provides a download link for non-supporting browsers:<audio src=”teenage_dream.ogg” autoplay controls loop> <a href=” teenage_dream.ogg”>download</a></audio>

<canvas id=”square”> fallback content</canvas>

<script> // create basic filled square canvas = canvas.getElementById(‘square’); context = canvas.getContext(‘2d’); context.fillStyle = “#000000”; context.fillRect(0, 0, 100, 100); </script>

Canvas

A complete drawing and animation API

<script> document.getElementById(‘notepad’).contentEditable = true;</script>

Editable Content

Turn any element into an editable area

Cross-Domain Messaging

// sendervar o = document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0];o.contentWindow.postMessage('Hello world', 'http://b.example.org/');

// recipientaddEvent(window, "message", function(e){  document.getElementById("rcvd_message").innerHTML = e.origin + " said: " + e.data;});

sessionStorage.setItem(key, value); sessionStorage.getItem(key);

localStorage.setItem(key, value);localStorage.getItem(key);

Session Storage

Save key/value pairs to a client-side data store implemented by browser

Session store expires when the browser is closed

Some Caution Plz

<div draggable=”true”></div>

// set data to access at targetaddEvent(div, “dragstart”, function(e) { e.dataTransfer.setData(‘foo’, ‘bar’);}, true);

// access data from dragged objectaddEvent(div, ‘dragend’, function(e) { e.dataTransfer.getData(‘foo’);}, true);

Drag and Drop

HTML5 drag and drop should work across frames, and across browser windows.

HTML5 drag and drop also allows users to drag and drop data to and from non-web applications, i.e. out of the browser or into the browser

<input type=”email” />

Input Types

telsearchemailurl

datetimedaterangecolor

Unsupported browsers default to text type

Future browsers will display appropriate UI controls

<input type="range" min="-100" max="100" value="0" step="10" name="power" list="powers"> <datalist id="powers"> <option value="0"> <option value="-30"> <option value="30"> <option value="+50"> </datalist>

Input Types

Input Type Range + Datalist

<input type=file multiple>

Input Types

File Upload Multiple

Input Types

Datalist

Used to provide Auto Complete feature

<input list="movies" /><datalist id="movies">

<option>The Dark Knight</option><option>Spiderman 3</option><option>X-Men</option>

</datalist>

<input name="custname" required>

<script> form.checkValidity(); </script>

Form Validation

By adding ‘required’ attribute you can take advantage of validity checking without custom JavaScript.

<html manifest=”cache.manifest”>

Offline Applications

Offline Applications using manifest

Run a web application in offline mode, disconnected from Internet

CACHE MANIFESTclock.htmlclock.cssclock.js

provide a cache.manifest file:

Of course your app will still have failures if it tries to pull live data from the Internet

uses MIME type: text/cache-manifest

window.history.back();window.history.forward();

window.history.go(2);

window.history.length;

window.history.pushState(data, title, url);window.history.replaceState(data, title, url);

JavaScript API for moving through browser history

History API

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) { // display position});

Geolocation

Build location-aware apps without access to native mobile apis

Local Storage

A set of APIs to manipulate client-side databases using SQL

Web SQL

Apple

Google

Opera

IndexedDB has replaced Web SQL

Web Sockets

• Opens a persistent connection to the server• Can be used for server to browser push• Restricted communication to origin server• Eliminates need to poll for data

var ws = new WebSocket("ws://friendfeed.com/websocket");ws.onopen = function() { ws.send("This is a message from the browser to the server");};ws.onmessage = function(event) { alert("The server sent a message: " + event.data);};

- Provide “threads” for JavaScript execution- Don’t have access to DOM or page. - Have to communicate through postMessage API

Web Workers

W3C says we shouldn’t

use HTML5!!!!

Create a solid cross-browser base to start from & use HTML5 to enhance sites

Fallbacks can be used to degrade gracefully when necessary

<video controls width="500"><source src="video.ogg" /><source src="video.mp4" /><embed src="http://blip.tv/play/gcMV" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="1024" height="798" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed>

</video>

If HTML5 video is not supported, flash video will load

Progressive Enhancement

Support for older browsers

Use polyfills to fallback gracefully or mimic functionality

HTML5Shim

Modernizr

Explorercanvas

Socket.IO

Big List of Polyfills: http://bit.ly/b5HV1x

Polyfills

I’m asking you, the developer, to look at the technology that’s available to you and chose the solution that suits your problem best. If that happens to be an HTML5 technology, or a non-HTML5 API, or even Flash, you’ve chosen the individual specific technology, not a f**king buzzword.
