CHAPTER 2 HTML5 HTML5 – markup language that specifies the structure and content of documents. HTML5 Techniques:
- Tables – structuring information from databases.
- Forms – collecting information from visitors.
- Internal linking – easier page navigation.
- Meta elements – specifying information about a document.
DOCTYPE – Document Type Declaration, required in html5
documents so that browsers render the page in standards
mode.
Comments – to improve readability and describe the content
of a document.

Strong element – indicates that the content has high importance, render such text in a bold font. Anchor – used to create links. Attribute- hypertext reference, specifies a resource’s location. mailto::URL – to link to an e-mail address. PNG and JPEG – most popular image formats used by web developers. Img element’s src attribute – specifies an image’s location. Alt attribute – makes web pages more accessible to users with disabilities, especially vision impairments (when the browser is not able to render the image). Width and height – optional attributes, adjust images and are measured in pixels. Void elements – attributes and do not mark up text. < />. Unordered list element - - list in which each item in the list
begins with a bullet symbol (disc).
Nested lists – represent hierarchical relationships, as in a multi-
level outline.
Ordered list element
- - list in which each item begins with numbers.
Tables
- used to organize data into rows and columns.
- Can be split into three distinct sections:
- Head - table titles, column headers.
- Body - primary table data.
- Table foot - footnotes, calculation results, displays at the bottom in the page. Summary attribute – summarizes the table’s contents and is used by speech devices to make the table more accessible to users with visual impairments. Caption element – specifies a table’s title.
element – table rows. element – table data. and - used to merge data cells.
element – line break.
element – legacy formatting element (displays a horizontal line). Forms – provides forms for collection information from users, can contain visual and non-visual components. Visual components – clickable buttons and other GUI components which users interact. Non-visual components – called hidden inputs, store any data that you specify, such as e-mail addresses, and HTML5 document file names. Method attribute – specifies how the form’s data is sent to the web server. Action attribute – specifies the script to which the form data will be sent. Input elements – specify data to provide to the script that processesthe form (aka, form handler) and is determined by its type attribute. Text input Element – inserts a text field into the form, which allows the user to input data. Label Element – provides users with information about the input element’s purpose. Size attribute – specifies the number of character visible in the text field. maxlength – optional attribute, limits that number of characters input into a text field.
