XHTML & HTML5
Basics
LI843 Web Design & Development
Summer 2012
Using HTML
• HTML is relatively simple. You do most of your
  work with about twenty tags.
• HTML is orderly and structured.
• Good references and tutorial sites are available.
• Follow the standards and your work will be
  simpler, more consistent, and your results more
  reliable.
Device independence




  Your audience may view your site with many
      different browser types and devices
The browser is not print…
…but fluid and adjustable
• No fixed page size
• No fixed page length
• User can change the font size
• User can link to own local style sheet
• Screen size can be tiny or huge
How does HTML work?
1. A series of short codes are typed into text-file by site
   author – called “tags”
2. Tags are codes between angle brackets:
    <p>Hello and welcome to my site.</p>
3. Text is saved as html file and viewed through
   browser, like IE or Firefox
4. Browser reads file and translates text into visible form
What do tags do?
• Separate normal text content from HTML code words
  between <angle brackets>
• Tags display content by telling browsers what to render on the
  page
• Different tags perform different functions
• Tags don’t appear when page is viewed through browser but
  their effects do
• Simplest tags just apply formatting to text, like this:
  • <b>These words will be bold</b>, and these will not.
  • <b> tags are wrapped around text and contained text will
    be bolded when viewed through browser
Content types




Documents are made up of logical types of content
Semantic structure




Content of the same type usually is formatted to look the
same.
Semantic markup




HTML markup is based on logical content types
Hierarchical structure

                                   <html>         </html>



<head>             </head>                          <body>    </body>



                                 <blockquote></
 <title></title>     <h1></h1>                    <h2></h2>   <p></p>        <p></p>
                                  blockquote>



                                                                 <ul></ul>



                                                                 <li></li>



 The resulting hierarchy
What is XHTML?
• eXtensible HyperText Markup Language
• Uses pre-existing HTML 4 tags and attributes as
  vocabulary; XML provides rules of how they are put
  together
• Writing XHTML requires following rules of XML such
  as correct syntax and structure
• Benefits:
  • Forward compatibility
  • Ease of use
  • Accessibility
What is HTML 5?
• Next major revision of the HTML standard
• Partial browser support already – full by 2014
• Semantically richer
• New elements and attributes
• New rules
• Full CSS3 support
• Video and audio
• 2D/3D graphics
• Web applications to replace JS, Flash and other scripting
HTML 5 tags we’ll be using
• <header> - header for section or page
• <footer> - footer for section or page
• <nav> - navigation links
• <section> - section in a document
• <hgroup> - group of headings for section
• <article> - self-contained composition that is independently
  distributable
• <aside> - section of page that consists of content tangentially
  related to content around it (e.g., sidebar, pull quote)
• <audio> - audio content
• <video> - video content
Consult the cheat sheets for others you’d like to try!
Elements
• Labels that identify and structure parts of web page
• Consist of three parts
  • Opening tag, which can contain attributes
  • Contents
  • Closing tag
Empty elements
• Some elements have no content and therefore
  also have no end tag
  <img src=“photo.jpg” />
  <br />
  <hr />
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href=“main.css" />
• In XHTML, which requires end tags on all
  elements, a single tag represents both the begin
  and end tag
Elements: block vs. inline
Block-level
• Always displayed on new line,
   like new paragraph
• Bigger structural pieces of
   web page and usually contain
   other block-level elements,
   inline elements, and text
Inline
• Displayed in current line, like
   next word in a paragraph
• Generally only contain other
   inline elements and text
Elements: parents & children
• Structure is key feature
  of HTML
• Proper nesting is
  required
• Parent contains child
• Elements in child are
  descendants of outer
  parent
• Hierarchical
  relationships between
  elements
Attributes
• Always only used in the element begin tag
• Three types
  • Optional attributes: varies with element type
  • Standard attributes:
    id, class, title, style, dir, lang, xml:lang
  • Event attributes:
    onclick, ondblclick, onmousedown, onmouseup, onmo
    useover, onmousemove, onmouseout, onkeypress, on
    keydown, onkeyup
     • Used in scripting
Attributes and values
• Attributes contain information about the data and are
  not the value itself
• In XHTML, attribute’s value must be enclosed in
  quotation marks
• Some attributes can accept any value; others are more
  limited (e.g., predefined)
<hgroup>,<h1>, <h2>…<h6>
• Headings on the page; <hgroup> groups
  headings
• Represent the main topic, subtopics, sub-
  subtopics, etc. of the page
• Important to use in logical manner; helps
  assistive technologies present page content
  intelligibly
<hgroup>
<h1>Our Event</h1>
<h2>Featured Speakers</h2>
<h3>Joe Smith, CEO, ABC Corp</h3>
</hgroup>




         Our Event
         Featured Speakers

         Joe Smith, CEO, ABC Corp.
<p>
• Paragraph
• Important for presentation control to put text in an
  element. When in doubt, put text in a paragraph.
• Blockquotes (<blockquote>) except they have wider left
  and right margins
Lists
• Unordered lists (bulleted lists)
  <ul>
    <li>One</li>
    <li>Two</li>
  </ul>
• Ordered lists (numbered lists)
  <ol>
    <li>One</li>
    <li>Two</li>
  </ol>
Text markup for emphasis
Bolding
• <b>text</b> - visual effect only
• <strong>text</strong> - “logical” tag – adds emphasis
Italics
• <i>text</i>- visual effect only
• <em>text</em> - “logical” tag – adds emphasis
Other
• <sub>text</sub> subscript
• <sup>text</sup> superscript
• <del>text</del> deleted text
Images
• Images are placed using the <img> element
• The alt attribute provides alternative text describing the
  graphic in case the graphic itself cannot be shown or the
  user cannot see the graphic
 <img src=“flower.png" alt=“red rose“ />
Anchors
Anchors can link your page to any file on the web or any
place on the web page

<a href="http://www.emporia.edu/">
Emporia State University</a>

<a href="#hayes">Kara Hayes, University of Washington
Tacoma</a>
…
<a name=hayes><p>Text goes here…</p>
Divs
Divs are generic block-level elements that enclose a set
of other elements

<div style=“text-align: center;”>
 <h2>News</h2>
 <p><a href=“budget.html”>Budget</a></p>
 <p><a href=“invest.html”>Investment</a></p>
 <img src=“news.png” alt=“news logo” />
</div>
DIV example
Spans
Spans enclose objects (text, graphics) within an element

<p>Call me Ishmael. Some years ago — <span style=“font-
style: italic;”>never mind how long precisely</span> —
having little or no money in my purse, and nothing
particular to interest me on shore…</p>
Stolley’s 6 rules of XHTML
1. The first line of an HTML document must be DOCTYPE
   declaration

XHTML:
         <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Strict//EN“
         "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-
strict.dtd">

HTML5: <!DOCTYPE html >
The DOCTYPE statement
• Declares the specific version of HTML or XHTML
  being used on the page
• Used by the browser to decide how to process
  the page
• Three types
  • Transitional - forgiving
  • Strict – requires adherence to standards
  • Frameset – use if page has frames
• W3C recommended list of DTDs
• Always first in file
Stolley’s 6 rules of XHTML
2. Every tag that opens must close

3. Tags close in the opposite order that they open

   <p>This curry is <strong>very</strong>spicy!</p>
Stolley’s 6 rules of XHTML
4. Tag elements and attributes and some values must be
   in lowercase

5. Attribute values must be enclosed in quotation marks

       <element attribute=“value”>
       <address class=“office”>
Stolley’s 6 rules of XHTML
6. Class and id values must begin with a letter and must
   not contain spaces.

       <h1 class=“pagetitle”>
       <div id=“navigation”>
Well formed HTML is hierarchical
<html>
  <head>
    <title>
      My Home Page
    </title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>My Home Page </h1>
    <p>
     Welcome to my home page
    </p>
  </body>
</html>
Coding your first HTML page
• Basic tutorial at
  http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/Overview.html
• Covers:
  • Titles
  • Headings and paragraphs
  • Emphasis
  • Images
  • Links
  • Lists

  1. Difference between valid markup and semantic markup:Markup is valid when it contains no errors (example: forgetting to close a tag’s bracket) and no illegal tags or attributes (example: the height attribute, applied to a table, is not legal in XHTML). Validation can be tested via free online software ( validator.w3.org).Markup is semantic when tags are chosen according to what they mean. For example, tagging a headline h1 because it is the most important headline on the page is a semantic authoring practice. Tagging a headline h1 “to make it look big” is not. The phrase “structural markup” is pretty much the same thing as “semantic markup.” (“Structural markup” takes its name specifically from the idea that each web document has an outline-like structure.) A web page can be valid yet not be semantic. For example, an HTML page could be layed out with table cells and no structural markup. If the table markup contains no errors and no illegal tags or attributes, the page is valid. Likewise, a page can be semantic and invalid. Typically, professionals who practice standards-based design strive to create pages whose markup is both valid and semantic.
  2. eXtensibleHyperText Markup Languagesubset or application of XMLXML is a metalanguage (it defines other languages)Benefits:Ease of use: a more simplified set of standards. Code is cleaner and more self-explanatory. Browsers interpret and display a clean XHTML page quicker than one with errors that the browser may have to handle.Accessibility: well-written XHTML page works in any standards-compliant browser or device (interoperability) due more rigid rules and W3C specifications.
