Code Guide by @mdo - 0 views

  • Compared to <link>s, @import is slower, adds extra page requests, and can cause other unforeseen problems. Avoid them and instead opt for an alternate approach
  • Compile your CSS with a preprocessor like Sass or Less into a single file
  • Place media queries as close to their relevant rule sets whenever possible.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Limit shorthand declaration usage to instances where you must explicitly set all available values.
  • Avoid unnecessary nesting. Just because you can nest, doesn't mean you always should. Consider nesting only if you must scope styles to a parent and if there are multiple elements to be nested.
  • For a complete list of properties and their order, please see

: The Input (Form Input) element - HTML | MDN - 0 views

  • A single-line text field for entering search strings.
    • Vernon Fowler
       
      On mobile devices with on-screen keyboards, the search input type sets the submit button text to "Search". On desktop devices, this should also enable submitting the form by pressing the Enter key?
  • Possible values are: off: The user must explicitly enter a value into this field for every use, or the document provides its own auto-completion method. The browser does not automatically complete the entry. on: The browser is allowed to automatically complete the value based on values that the user has entered during previous uses, however on does not provide any further information about what kind of data the user might be expected to enter. name: Full name. honorific-prefix: Prefix or title (e.g. "Mr.", "Ms.", "Dr.", "Mlle"). given-name: First name. additional-name: Middle name. family-name: Last name.
  • inputmode

      Currently not supported in any browser. https://caniuse.com/#feat=input-inputmode
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • This attribute applies when the value of the type attribute is text, search, tel, url, email, or password, otherwise it is ignored.
  • minlength HTML5 If the value of the type attribute is text, email, search, password, tel, or url, this attribute specifies the minimum number of characters (in Unicode code points) that the user can enter.
  • maxlength If the value of the type attribute is text, email, search, password, tel, or url, this attribute specifies the maximum number of characters (in UTF-16 code units) that the user can enter.
  • autocorrect A Safari extension, the autocorrect attribute is a string which indicates whether or not to activate automatic correction while the user is editing this field. Permitted values are: on Enable automatic correction of typos, as well as processing of text substitutions if any are configured.

- HTML: Hypertext Markup Language | MDN - 0 views

  • A string value of any means that no stepping is implied, and any value is allowed (barring other constraints, such as min and max).
  • <input type="number"> elements do not support use of the pattern attribute for making entered values conform to a specific regex pattern.
  • inputs of type number support these attributes
  •  
    " elements of type number are used to let the user enter a number. They include built-in validation to reject non-numerical entries. The browser may opt to provide stepper arrows to let the user increase and decrease the value using their mouse or by simply tapping with a fingertip."

HTML Standard - 0 views

  • The value of input elements whose type attributes are in the Text, Search, URL, or E-mail states and that are mutable (i.e. that do not have the readonly attribute specified and that are not disabled).The value of textarea elements that do not have a readonly attribute and that are not disabled.
    • Vernon Fowler
       
      Note the input types that we can set spellcheck="false" include: email url search text
  • Otherwise, if there is an ancestor element with a spellcheck content attribute that is not in the default state, then: if the nearest such ancestor's spellcheck content attribute is in the true state, then checking is enabled; otherwise, checking is disabled.
  • User agents should take into account the other semantics given in the document when suggesting spelling and grammar corrections. User agents may use the language of the element to determine what spelling and grammar rules to use, or may use the user's preferred language settings. UAs should use input element attributes such as pattern to ensure that the resulting value is valid, where possible.

How do you figure? | scottohara.me - 0 views

  •  
    A figure can be used with or without a figcaption. However, without a caption, or an alternate means of providing an accessible name (e.g. aria-label) a figure may not provide much value in conveying its semantics alone. In some cases, it may not convey any semantics at all if its given no accessible name.

What's New in HTML 5.2? - 0 views

  • Headings in a <legend> In forms, the <legend> element represents a caption for the form fields within a <fieldset>. Before HTML 5.2, the content of a legend had to be plain text. Now, we can include heading elements.

HTML5 Form Validation - Showing All Error Messages - 0 views

  • an :invalid pseduoselector that can be used to select all elements with validation errors
  • only give an error for the first field
  • showing the users only the first error message is bad
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Browsers that support HTML5 form validation have one thing in common; if a <form> is submitted and has errors on multiple fields, the browser will only display the first error to the user.
  • instead of listening for submit on the <form>, I instead listen for a click on the <input type="submit">. Since the user is also able to submit the form pressing enter in text inputs, I attach a keypress listener to them to ensure the same logic runs.

HTML5 Forms: Search Type Demo | Wufoo - 0 views

  • The results and autosave attributes shown above are not standard. In WebKit and Blink browsers you can add the non-standard results attribute to get a looking glass icon to click to see the latest searches, and autosave to keep them across page loads.
  • When a value is present, a gray x control shows up on the right of the input in IE, Chrome, Safari and Opera (but not Firefox or Chrome on Android) which can be clicked to clear the value.

:required | CSS-Tricks - 0 views

  • The :required attribute works on radio buttons. If you put required on one radio button (or all), that particular group of radio buttons will be required. On checkboxes, makes each individual checkbox required (to be checked).

Why is Ogg better than MP3? - Quora - 0 views

  • a bit less data to produce the same quality, or will sound a bit better at the same bitrate
  • MP3 was also covered by a bunch of patents, so you had to license it for a fair bit of money; those patents have finally expired now. Ogg and Vorbis have always been free (and the reference implementation available under an LGPL and later BSD license).

How You Can Use HTML5 Custom Data Attributes and Why - SitePoint - 0 views

  • Besides the data- prefix, the name of a valid custom data attribute must contain only letters, numbers, hyphen (-), dot (.), colon (:) or underscore (_). It cannot contain capital letters.
  • I recommend you use this method for quick prototypes rather than a production website, not least because CSS-only tooltips are not fully accessible.

The section element | HTML5 Doctor - 1 views

  • A general rule is that the section element is appropriate only if the element’s contents would be listed explicitly in the document’s outline.
  • The theme of each section should be identified, typically by including a heading (h1-h6 element) as a child of the section element.
  • Don’t use it just as hook for styling or scripting; that’s a div
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Don’t use it unless there is naturally a heading at the start of the section
  • As blogposts and comments are often syndicated (by being pulled into other blogs or being linked via twitter, reddit etc) they should be articles.
    • Vernon Fowler
       
      Use rather than for blog post and for comment content types.
