Detecting HTML5 Features - Dive Into HTML5 - 0 views

  • The HTML5 microdata standard includes both HTML markup (primarily for search engines) and a set of DOM functions (primarily for browsers). There’s no harm in including microdata markup in your web pages. It’s nothing more than a few well-placed attributes, and search engines that don’t understand the microdata attributes will just ignore them. But if you need to access or manipulate microdata through the DOM, you’ll need to check whether the browser supports the microdata DOM API.

  •  
    If you don't already know, the hgroup element is obsolete in HTML5. Advice is now provided in the HTML spec on how to mark up subheadings, subtitles, alternative titles and taglines using existing and implemented HTML features.

The hgroup element | HTML5 Doctor - 0 views

  • An article with a title and metadata
  • An article with a title and subtitle
  • An article with a title, subtitle and metadata
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • If you have a title with subtitle(s) and other metadata associated with the section or article, place both the <hgroup> and the metadata within a single <header> element.
  • If you have a title with subtitle(s) or tag lines (i.e., more than one consecutive <h1>–<h6>), group them in an <hgroup>.
  • When grouping headings in an <hgroup> element, the outline algorithm will mask the lowest level all but the highest level heading in the group from the resulting document outline.
  • It can only contain a group of <h1>–<h6> element(s), and it should be used for subtitles, alternative titles, and tag lines.

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.

Semantic navigation with the nav element | HTML5 Doctor - 1 views

  • Previous/next buttons (or pagination) I would say yes to this because it is important to the overall structure and hierarchy of the blog/site
  • Search form For me, a definite yes, but it is not mentioned in the spec. A search form is hugely important to the navigation of a site, particularly large sites which rely almost solely on their search engine.
  • Breadcrumbs Again, I would say yes to this as well. Although breadcrumbs are not always necessary and can be used when not applicable, on large sites a breadcrumb trail can be an important navigation aid.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • <menu> is to be used for a list of commands and is an interactive element and more likely to be used exclusively in Web Applications.
  • The nav element represents a section of a page that links to other pages or to parts within the page: a section with navigation links.
  • Table of Contents I would say definitely yes to that – it is primary navigation for that particularly content
  •
