Difference Between HTML/HTML5 and XHTML Introduction to HTML5 History of HTML 1991 HTML first published 1995 HTML 2.0 After HTML 4.01 was released, focus shifted to XHTML and its stricter standards. 1997 HTML 3.2 1999 HTML 4.01 XHTML 2.0 By combining the strengths of HTML and XML, XHTML was developed. 2000 XHTML 1.0 XHTML is HTML redesigned as XML. 2002 HTML5 is much more tolerant and can - XHTML 2.0 2009 handle markup from all the prior versions. Though HTML5 was published officially in 2012, it 2012 HTML5 has been in development since 2004. What is HTML5? HTML5 is the newest version of HTML, only recently gaining partial support by the makers of web browsers. It incorporates all features from earlier versions of HTML, including the stricter XHTML. It adds a diverse set of new tools for the web developer to use. It is still a work in progress. No browsers have full HTML5 support. It will be many years – perhaps not until 2018 or later - before being fully defined and supported. Goals of HTML5 Support all existing web pages. With HTML5, there is no requirement to go back and revise older websites. Reduce the need for external plugins and scripts to show website content. Improve the semantic definition (i.e. meaning and purpose) of page elements. Make the rendering of web content universal and independent of the device being used. Handle web documents errors in a better and more consistent fashion. New Elements in HTML5 <article> <figcaption> <progress> <aside> <footer> <section> <audio> <header> <source> <canvas> <hgroup> <svg> <datalist> <mark> <time> <figure> <nav> <video> These are just some of the new elements introduced in HTML5. We will be exploring each of these during this course. Other New Features in HTML5 Built-in audio and video support (without plugins) Enhanced form controls and attributes The Canvas (a way to draw directly on a web page) Drag and Drop functionality Support for CSS3 (the newer and more powerful version of CSS) More advanced features for web developers, such as data storage and offline applications. First Look at HTML5 Remember the DOCTYPE declaration from XHTML? <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> In HTML5, there is just one possible DOCTYPE declaration and it is simpler: <!DOCTYPE html> Just 15 characters! The DOCTYPE tells the browser which type and version of document to expect. This should be the last time the DOCTYPE is ever changed. From now on, all future versions of HTML will use this same simplified declaration. The <html> Element This is what the <html> element looked like in XHTML: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> Again, HTML5 simplifies this line: <html lang="en"> The lang attribute in the <html> element declares which language the page content is in. Though not strictly required, it should always be specified, as it can assist search engines and screen readers. Each of the world’s major languages has a two-character code, e.g. Spanish = "es", French = "fr", German = "de", Chinese = "zh", Arabic = "ar". The <head> Section Here is a typical XHTML <head> section: <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>My First XHTML Page</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> </head> And the HTML5 version: <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>My First HTML5 Page</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> </head> Notice the simplified character set declaration, the shorter CSS stylesheet link text, and the removal of the trailing slashes for these two lines. Basic HTML5 Web Page Putting the prior sections together, and now adding the <body> section and closing tags, we have our first complete web page in HTML5: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>My First HTML5 Page</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> </head> <body> <p>HTML5 is fun!</p> </body> </html> Let's open this page in a web browser to see how it looks… Viewing the HTML5 Web Page Even though we used HTML5, the page looks exactly the same in a web browser as it would in XHTML. Without looking at the source code, web visitors will not know which version of HTML the page was created with.

  • HTML5 Indexeddb
    HHTTMMLL55 -- IINNDDEEXXEEDDDDBB http://www.tutorialspoint.com/html5/html5_indexeddb.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com The indexeddb is a new HTML5 concept to store the data inside user's browser. indexeddb is more power than local storage and useful for applications that requires to store large amount of the data. These applications can run more efficiency and load faster. Why to use indexeddb? The W3C has announced that the Web SQL database is a deprecated local storage specification so web developer should not use this technology any more. indexeddb is an alternative for web SQL data base and more effective than older technologies. Features it stores key-pair values it is not a relational database IndexedDB API is mostly asynchronous it is not a structured query language it has supported to access the data from same domain IndexedDB Before enter into an indexeddb, we need to add some prefixes of implementation as shown below window.indexedDB = window.indexedDB || window.mozIndexedDB || window.webkitIndexedDB || window.msIndexedDB; window.IDBTransaction = window.IDBTransaction || window.webkitIDBTransaction || window.msIDBTransaction; window.IDBKeyRange = window.IDBKeyRange || window.webkitIDBKeyRange || window.msIDBKeyRange if (!window.indexedDB) { window.alert("Your browser doesn't support a stable version of IndexedDB.") } Open an IndexedDB database Before creating a database, we have to prepare some data for the data base.let's start with company employee details. const employeeData = [ { id: "01", name: "Gopal K Varma", age: 35,

  • Document Object Model
    Document Object Model CITS3403: Agile Web Development Semester 1, 2021 Introduction • We’ve seen JavaScript core – provides a general scripting language – but why is it so useful for the web? • Client-side JavaScript adds collection of objects, methods and properties that allow scripts to interact with HTML documents dynamic documents client-side programming • This is done by bindings to the Document Object Model (DOM) – “The Document Object Model is a platform- and language-neutral interface that will allow programs and scripts to dynamically access and update the content, structure and style of documents.” – “The document can be further processed and the results of that processing can be incorporated back into the presented page.” • DOM specifications describe an abstract model of a document – API between HTML document and program – Interfaces describe methods and properties – Different languages will bind the interfaces to specific implementations – Data are represented as properties and operations as methods • https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_htmldom.asp The DOM Tree • DOM API describes a tree structure – reflects the hierarchy in the XTML document – example... <html xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title> A simple document </title> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <th>Breakfast</th> <td>0</td> <td>1</td> </tr> <tr> <th>Lunch</th> <td>1</td> <td>0</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Execution Environment • The DOM tree also includes nodes for the execution environment in a browser • Window object represents the window displaying a document – All properties are visible to all scripts – Global variables are properties of the Window object • Document object represents the HTML document displayed – Accessed through document property of Window – Property arrays for forms, links, images, anchors, … • The Browser Object Model is sometimes used to refer to bindings to the browser, not specific to the current page (document) being rendered.

  • Chapter 10 Document Object Model and Dynamic HTML
    Chapter 10 Document Object Model and Dynamic HTML The term Dynamic HTML, often abbreviated as DHTML, refers to the technique of making Web pages dynamic by client-side scripting to manipulate the document content and presen- tation. Web pages can be made more lively, dynamic, or interactive by DHTML techniques. With DHTML you can prescribe actions triggered by browser events to make the page more lively and responsive. Such actions may alter the content and appearance of any parts of the page. The changes are fast and e±cient because they are made by the browser without having to network with any servers. Typically the client-side scripting is written in Javascript which is being standardized. Chapter 9 already introduced Javascript and basic techniques for making Web pages dynamic. Contrary to what the name may suggest, DHTML is not a markup language or a software tool. It is a technique to make dynamic Web pages via client-side programming. In the past, DHTML relies on browser/vendor speci¯c features to work. Making such pages work for all browsers requires much e®ort, testing, and unnecessarily long programs. Standardization e®orts at W3C and elsewhere are making it possible to write standard- based DHTML that work for all compliant browsers. Standard-based DHTML involves three aspects: 447 448 CHAPTER 10. DOCUMENT OBJECT MODEL AND DYNAMIC HTML Figure 10.1: DOM Compliant Browser Browser Javascript DOM API XHTML Document 1. Javascript|for cross-browser scripting (Chapter 9) 2. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)|for style and presentation control (Chapter 6) 3. Document Object Model (DOM)|for a uniform programming interface to access and manipulate the Web page as a document When these three aspects are combined, you get the ability to program changes in Web pages in reaction to user or browser generated events, and therefore to make HTML pages more dynamic.

  • DOCTYPE Sniffing
    06_576429 ch02.qxd 11/18/04 12:28 PM Page 17 2 Document Standards This chapter explores the various options for a document foundation. CSS is a dynamic tool, in that you can use it in more than one type of document, including HTML, XHTML, and XML docu- ments. Each type of document may have several variations, flavors, or degrees of strictness. This chapter describes what’s involved in creating each type. Document standards are something very important to the aspiring CSS web designer. Inclusion of a Document Type Declaration (explained in a moment) and a well-formed document may mean the difference between a splitting, grueling headache and a mark-up document including CSS that works as expected in all the major browsers. Chapter 1 discussed the W3C body, the group assem- bled to decide on web standards. This chapter examines the various documents into which you can incorporate CSS, describing what each document looks like and giving you a few very basic examples of each document in action. The explanation of each topic in the following list is quite lengthy and can easily fill an entire book. This chapter covers only the basics, including ❑ Writing mark-up ❑ Obtaining the required web browsers ❑ Introduction to HTML, XML, and XHTML ❑ Introduction to the Document Type Declaration ❑ DOCTYPECOPYRIGHTED sniffing and how to invoke standards MATERIAL mode ❑ Creating web documents that survive and perpetuate into the foreseeable future Choosing Which Markup Language to Use HTML, XHTML, and XML are all based on SGML, which stands for Standard Generalized Markup Language. SGML is the parent of tag-based languages like HTML, XHTML, and XML, although it is not limited to these three examples.
