    Study Notes

    HTML5 Page Structure

    • Lecture 4 focuses on HTML5 structural elements and how to name them for styling.

    CAI 11 Room

    • CAI 11 Room is now open for use.
    • Has the same software as IPS2.
    • Available Mon-Fri (Periods 1-6)
    • No reservation required.

    Generic Structural Elements

    • div and span elements are the generic structural elements in HTML5.
    • They are used for encapsulating HTML elements for CSS positioning and formatting.
    • div is a block-level element that starts on a new line, with top and bottom margins.
    • span is an inline element.
    • Neither div nor span have semantic meaning.

    Sectioning Content Elements (SCE)

    • SCEs are specialized variants of div that add semantic meaning to content layout.
    • Examples include: header, nav, article, section, aside, and footer.
    • Use them to assign semantic meaning to page elements.
    • They can replace generic div roles from XHTML.

    Adding divs as Containers

    • div elements are used to create containers for CSS styling.
    • They can help group elements for positioning, styling, and localizing JavaScript behavior.
    • You can apply CSS to style a div using the class attribute.

    Adding ARIA Roles

    • ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) provides supplementary attributes to add semantic meaning to pages, especially for screen readers.
    • ARIA roles add extra information about an element's function.
    • Examples include banner, navigation, main, complimentary, and contentinfo.
    • Add ARIA roles using the role attribute.

    Naming Elements

    • Elements can be given unique names using the id attribute.
    • This allows for internal linking within a page.
    • id names should be unique within a page and should not contain spaces or special characters.
    • Elements can also be assigned to a class using the class attribute.
    • Multiple elements can be assigned to the same class, allowing for applying styles to multiple elements at once.
    • Internal links are used to link to specific elements within the page.
    • They can be useful for navigation between sections or for providing quick access to specific content.
    • Use the href attribute with a '#' followed by the element's id to create an internal link.

    Inline Grouping with Spans

    • span elements are used to group inline elements for styling or formatting.
    • They are used similar to div, but for inline content rather than block-level content.

    HTML5 Structure Overview

    • HTML5 provides semantic meaning and page structure using SCEs and generic elements.
    • CSS provides the specific instructions for layout and formatting.
    • The combination creates a structured and well-styled web page.
