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
, andfooter
. - 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
, andcontentinfo
. - 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 (Fragments)
- 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'sid
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.
