Principles of HTML Design
Principles of HTML Design
1. Compatibility
Address the necessity of supporting existing HTML content, design HTML 5 document requirements so
that Web content can degrade gradually; and specify, adopt and adapt existing technology where possible.
2. Utility
The principles of utility call for design that ensures features can be used effectively, and for all intended
purposes.
3. Interoperability
Interoperable HTML 5 implementation means defining behaviors in preference to vague or
implementation-define behavior, avoiding needless complexity, and handling errors gracefully as opposed
to hard failure.
4. Universal access
Features should be designed for universal access - to work across as many platforms as possible, support
all world languages and scripts, and to be accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.
HTML page requirement
The HTML page should be cross browser compatible.
The data capture fields should be well validated.
The HTML page should comply with W3C standards.
Features of HTML:
It is easy to learn and easy to use.
It is platform-independent.
Images, videos, and audio can be added to a web page.
Hypertext can be added to the text.
It is a markup language.
