What is HTML 5?

What is
HTML5?
And why is it so important?

Standard IMPROVEMENTS
You don’t get rid of HTML4 standards – you just improve upon them!

It’s easy for web developers to upgrade their
websites to HTML 5
Step 1: change the doctype at the top of the page.
NEW:
<!DOCTYPE html>
OLD:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Who will see your cool new HTML 5 features?
Changing the Doctype will not break your existing website
People using OLDER browsers that don’t support the new HTML5
features will simply miss out on viewing the website the way others do.

HTML5 is a Collection of Features
HTML5 is not an “all or nothing” capability.
The HTML5 features available to end users depend on what browser and
what version of that browser they are using.
Users: How well does your browser support html5?
Keep your browser updated so that as they add new feature
support you will have access to these new features!

Quick Note about MicroData
MicroData is code a web developer adds to a web page that provides a
mechanism for easily allowing machines to consume the data on the page,
while not affecting the experience for the user.
Browsers are applications used by humans to
view web pages.
Robots are machines (used by search engines)
to read the code of the web page.
Web Developers add microdata to a web page to help search engine
robots better understand the content on the page.
If your browser doesn’t support microdata – don’t worry about it!
It’s not aboutYOU – It’s about the robot!

HTML5
Enhancing websites for the people.

Detect using a detection library
Modernizr is an open source, JavaScript library that detects support for many
HTML5 & CSS3 features.
Simply include a link to the script in the <head> tag
of your master template file
<script src=“modernizr.min.js”></script>
Modernizr will run automatically and create a global object called Modernizr.
This object contains a set of Boolean properties for each feature it can
detect. (Booleans are variables that hold a true or false value).

HTML5 Local Storage
Local storage provides a way for websites to store information on
your computer to retrieve it later. (similar to cookies)
Cookies require a trip to the server on each page download (which
requires extra bandwidth).
Local storage is accessed by JavaScript (that runs in the “client” = less
bandwidth).
If (Modernizr.localstorage){
// find out where the user is located }
Else {
// user misses out on features
}

HTML5 PlaceholderText
Enables websites the ability to place temporary text in an input field.
This gives the user a visual clue as to what type of text is expected.
The placeholder text disappears once the user clicks on the field to
begin typing.
If (Modernizr.input.placeholder){
// user can see placeholder text}
Else {
// user can’t see the text.
}

HTML5 Form InputType
New form input types assist users with input.
• <input type=“range”> - for sliders
• <input type=“color”> - for color pickers
• <input type=“tel”> - for telephone numbers
• <input type=“url”> - for web addresses
• <input type=“email”> - for email addresses
• <input type=“date”> for calendar date pickers
• <input type=“month”> - for a list of months
• <input type=“week”> - for weeks
• <input type=“time”> - timestamps
• <input type=“datetime”> -for precise, absolute date+time stamps
• <input type=“datetime-local”> for local dates and times
• <input type=“number”> - for spinboxes
• <input type=“search”> - for search boxes
If (!Modernizr.inputtypes.date){
// <input type=“date”> not supported}
}

HTML5 Autofocus
Allows the cursor to automatically be placed in a specific field on a
form without the user having to manually click inside the field.
If (Modernizr.input.autofocus){
// help the user get started}
Else {
// user is on their own.
}
EXAMPLE:

HTML 5Video
Each HTML5 browser support 2 different video formats.
Make the video available in several different formats.
(.mp4 .ogg .webm)
The video played depends on the format that
browser supports.
If (Modernizr.video){
if (Modernizr.video.webm) { // playWebM }
else if (Modernizr.video.ogg) { // play Ogg }
else if (Modernizr.video.h264) { // play mp4 - h.264 video with AAC audio }
Else { // user misses out on features – check out the alternative options at “video for everyone”}
}

HTML5 Canvas
Canvas is a rectangle in your page where you can use JavaScript to
draw anything you want.
The canvas API is used for drawing shapes, defining paths, creating
gradients, and applying transformations.
The canvas text API is for drawing text.
If (Modernizr.canvas){
// draw something in the box }
Else {
// user is blind!
}
Those using a browser without HTML5 support just miss out on viewing the canvas!
If (Modernizr.canvastext){
// draw some text in the box }
Else {
// user is blind!
}

HTML5 Canvas
A canvas area is created with HTML5 code.
<canvas id=“myCanvas1” width=“300” height=“225”></canvas>
Canvas supported in IE9+
You can then access the canvas by referencing its ID.
function drawBoxInsideCanvas( )
{
var canvasArea = document.getElementById(“myCanvas1” );
var canvasContext = canvasArea.getContext(“2d”);
canvasContext.fillRect(50,25,150,100);
}

HTML5 Canvas
Draw lines.
Canvas supported in IE9+
Draw shapes.
Fill shapes with gradients.
Draw images.
WHY?
Because it’s faster
download time.

HTML5 WebWorkers
WebWorkers provide a way for browsers to run JavaScript in the
background (speeding up processing).
If (Modernizr.webworkers){
// you can do 2 or more things at once! }
Else {
// you can only do 1 thing at a time
}

HTML5 Offline
Offline web applications start out as online web applications.
User starts by viewing the online web application.
The files are downloaded to the user’s computer for viewing.
User later views these files with no internet connection.
When the user gets back online, any changes made will be uploaded
to the web server.
If (Modernizr.applicationcache){
// window.applicationCache is available }
Else {
// user can’t view website offline.
}

HTML5 GeoLocation
GeoLocation is the art of figuring out where you are in the world and
(optionally) sharing that information with people you trust.
Your location can be determines by:
• your IP address
• your wireless network connection
• which cell tower your phone is talking to
• a dedicated GPS hardware that calculates latitude and longitude from
information sent by satellites in the sky.

HTML5 GeoLocation
Provide different content on your web pages based on
the location of the user.
User has to agree to provide their location in order for this to work.
Applications can be programmed to return data based on location
where longitude and latitude are defined.
If (Modernizr.geolocation){
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(show_map); }
Else {
// provide static generic information
}

Detect support for History API
History API is a way to manipulate the browser history via script.
If (Modernizr.history){
// history mgmt. works}
Else {
// try using history.js
}
Applications can be written to replicate going to a new page – yet the
web page never refreshes nor does it actually go to a new page.

HTML5
Enhancing websites for the robots.

HTML5 MicroData
“On-page markup enables search engines to understand the
information on web pages and provide richer search results in order
to make it easier for users to find relevant information on the web.”
- schema.org.
“Google uses on-page markup to create rich snipes in search
results.” – google.com
Marking up your page with microdata is good for SEO!

HTML5 MicroData
Microdata is a way to label content to describe a specific type of information.
Web Developers use schema.org to learn how to mark up data.
