Evolution of HTML: monkey on left becomes human in 4 stages

Evolution of HTML: 5 th monkey (HTML5) is human but dressed

in pimp clothing

HTML5“... extending the language to better support Web

applications, since that is one of the directions the Web is going in and is one of the areas least well served by HTML so far.

This puts HTML in direct competition with other technologies intended for applications deployed over the Web, in particular Flash and Silverlight” - Ian Hickson

More semantics for structure

Styling HTML 5

Good browsers just work, with a hint or two:

header {display:block;}

Naughty browsers

IE – needs JavaScript

document.createElement('header')

<section>

<h1>I'm a heading</h1>

<section><h1>And I'm a heading</h1> <section> <h1>I'm a heading too</h1> <article> <h1>And me! And me!</h1> </article> </section></section>

<figure>● “ to annotate illustrations, diagrams, photos, code listings, etc, that

are referred to from the main content of the document”

HTML5 forms (“Webforms 2”)

Do what people want to do without scripting, so

● Easier to write● Controls look the same across sites, so better UX● Built-in validation● Less to download

Demonstration

Canvas

Immediate graphics mode without plugins

Retro-specced, hence accessibility concerns

Native support in Opera, Safari, Firefox and Chrome

Demonstration

What does this code do?<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.example.com/v/LtfQg4KkR88&hl=en&fs=1"></param>

<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.example.com/v/LtfQg4KkR88&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed>

</object>

Video (future)

<video src=video.ogv> <p>You've got a legacy browser, so <a href="video.ogv">Download movie</a> </p></video>

•

Advantages of native <video>● Keyboard accessible out of the box (potentially)● Is part of the page – can be styled by CSS● Can script own controls (show code!)● Can draw on the video● Can manipulate video data (SVG/ copy to canvas)

Video (accessibility)● Captions/ subtitles – no standardised way (yet).● Bruce hack: <video></video> <div class=transcript> <p>Hello, Good Evening and Welcome</p> <p>Tonight on the Jeremy Kyle show ...</p> .... </div>

Video (accessibility) <div class=”transcript”> <p><span>Hello, Good Evening</span> <span> and Welcome.</span></p> <p><span>Tonight on the Jeremy Kyle show …

</span> </p> .... </div>

Video (accessibility)<p> <span data-begin=1 data-end=2.4>Hello, Good

Evening</span> <span data-begin=3 data-end=3.6> and Welcome.</span></p>

Video (accessibility)

function timeupdate() { var v = document.querySelector('video'); var now = v.currentTime; …}

<video width=600 src=synergy.ogv ontimeupdate=timeupdate()>

Demonstrate captionsDemonstrate simultaneous translation

Disadvantage with video: codecs

<video width=320 height=240 controls> <source src="../videos/turkish.ogv" type="video/ogg"> <source src="../videos/turkish.mp4" type="video/mp4">

<p> Download the <a href=turkish.ogv>Turkish dancing masterclass video</a></p>
