“
Require at least two browsers to completely
pass HTML 5 test suites
”
Nir Elbaz 6

Intro
• HTML 5 rules:
– New features should be based on HTML, CSS,
DOM, and JavaScript
– Reduce the need for external RIA plugins (like
Flash*, Silverlight etc.)
– Better error handling (backwards compatibility)
– More markup tags to replace scripting
– HTML5 should be device independent
– Dev. process should be visible to the public (ML)
Nir Elbaz 7

What’s New in HTML 5?

HTML5 Page Structure
Moving to HTML 5.0 >> Getting Started With HTML5
Nir Elbaz 14
• HTML 4 page structure 

Nir Elbaz 16
• Migrating from HTML 4 to HTML 5
1. Change the Doctype
2. Shorten HTML tag
3. Change the charset meta tag
4. Shorten SCRIPT & STYLE tags
5. Shorten LINK tags
6. Convert DIVs to semantic elements (not all of them)
7. Use new elements / attributes
8. Remove obsolete elements & attributes
9. Fix CSS rules

Semantic Elements
Nir Elbaz 20
Semantic elements are Not design elements!
9+

Semantic Elements
Nir Elbaz 21
• Why is it good for?
– Code Standardization
– Accessibility
– SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
&
– Semantic Web 3.0
Easy to consume

Semantic Elements
Nir Elbaz 22
9+

Semantic Elements
Nir Elbaz 23
• More semantic HTML tags
– Results: <output name="result"></output>
– Progress bar: <progress id="p" max=100>0%</progress>
– Measurement gauge: <meter value=6 max=8>6 blocks (out of 8)</meter>
– Details & summary: <details><summary>…</summary></details>
– Images & captions: <figure><img src=“…” /><figcaption>title</figcaption></figure>
– Dates & times: <time pubdate datetime="2012-06-10T14:28-08:00"></time>
– Menus & commands: <menu type="toolbar"><command type=“radio” /></menu>
– Highlights: Task requires 3 programmers.

Semantic Elements
Nir Elbaz 24
semanticElements.html

Semantic Elements
Nir Elbaz 25
• DOs & DONTs
1. Don’t use section as a wrapper for styling
2. Only use header and hgroup when they’re
required
3. Don’t wrap all lists of links in nav
4. Not every image is a figure
5. Figure can be more than an image

Semantic Elements
Nir Elbaz 26
• The role of DIV element
– Only use section and article elements when
sectioning content is appropriate
– Only use the aside for related content
– Headers and footers are for grouping heading or
footer content
– nav elements should not be used for every
navigation grouping
– DIVs can be used to group related content

Error Handling
Nir Elbaz 27
• Spec defines what browsers should do while
• Processing well-formed markup
• Processing badly formed markup! new! new! new!
• Not that interesting if you’re writing valid
• An HTML5 (text/html) browser will be flexible
in handling incorrect syntax
– designed so that old browsers can safely
ignore new HTML5 constructs
– browsers will produce the same result in the case
of incorrect syntax

Page & Form Elements and Attributes
Nir Elbaz 28
forms.html

Nir Elbaz 29
• New elements & attributes (highlights)
– Input types
• tel – phone numbers
• search – search bars
• email – email addresses
• range – range of numbers
• color – color picker
• date – picker (datetime TZ, date-local, week, time, month)
• time – time picker
• file – upload multiple files
• url - links

Nir Elbaz 30
– Input types
Unsupported browsers default to text. Implementation is different between supported browsers!

Nir Elbaz 31
– Attributes
• placeholder – sets place holder string for input elements
• data-* – custom element attributes
• autofocus – focus control during page load
• autocomplete (on / off) – stores input for future use
• multiple – allows multiple values in file / email inputs
• list – offers predefined values but accepts free text
• form – allows placing an input outside the form

Nir Elbaz 32
• Obsolete tags & attributes (highlight)
– Presentation elements such as , <center>,
<blink>, <dir>, <basefont>, <big>, <strike>
– Presentation attributes including align, border,
hspace, vspace
– <frame>, <frameset>, <layer>, <ilayer>
– <applet>
– <marquee>, <bgsound>, <noscript>

Nir Elbaz 33
• Form validation (1 of 4)
– required – valueMissing
– type – typeMismatch
– pattern – patternMismatch
– maxLength – tooLong
– min – rangeUnderflow
– max – rangeOverflow
– step – stepMismatch
– setCustomValidity(message) – customError

Nir Elbaz 34
– Custom validation is possible by JS checking
– Turning form validation off
• novalidate form attribute
• Empty value formonvalidate submit button attribute
forms.html

– Customized validation error messages
• Error message can be modified using the invalid input
event handler:
• Appearance can be modified just a little (:invalid, :required)
Nir Elbaz 35

– JavaScript to the rescue:
• elem.checkValidity (method, bool)
• elem.willValidate (attribute, bool)
– The control is an input, select, or textarea
– The control is not disabled and not readonly
– The control is not of type hidden, button, reset, or submit
• elem.validity.valid (attribute, bool)
• elem.validationMessage (attribute, string)
Nir Elbaz 36

Part 2 – APIs
Nir Elbaz

NEW APIS
Advanced Client Side Programming
Nir Elbaz 39

• Empowering web applications:
– Dozens of WGs working on new APIs
– We don’t need any plugin – HTML 5 is enough!
– As HTML 5 itself, not all APIs are final
Intro to HTML 5 APIs
Moving to HTML 5.0 >> New APIs
Nir Elbaz 40

Intro to HTML 5 APIs
Nir Elbaz 41

• Key features
– Web pages container for 2D graphics
– Pixel-by-pixel rendering resolution dependent
– Manipulated via scripting (Javascript)
– Supported in IE 9+ & all other popular browsers
– Once drawn, it is “forgotten” by the browser
Canvas Element
42

• Canvas basic template
Canvas Element
43Nir Elbaz
canvasBasicTemplate.html

• Canvas reference surface
• Drawing rectangles
fillRect(x, y, width, height);
strokeRect(x, y, width, height);
clearRect(x, y, width, height);
Canvas Element
Nir Elbaz 44
Set colors:
fillStyle = “color” || “rgba()”
strokeStyle = “color” || “rgba()”
canvasShapes.html
Line style:
lineWidth = 1.0
lineCap = “butt” || “round” ||”square”
lineJoin = “round” || “bevel” ||”miter”

• Drawing stuff
– Rectangles
– Shapes
– Arcs
– Quadratic & Bezier curves
– Text
– Images
Canvas Element
Nir Elbaz 45
canvasShapes.html

• Manipulating images
– Get the image data using
getImageData(x, y, width, height)
– Extract the array out of the image data
– Modify the image data array imageData.data
– Re-draw the modified image data using
putImageData(imageData, x, y)
Canvas Element
Nir Elbaz 46
The getImageData() method requires that the image is hosted on a web server
with the same domain as the code executing it
canvasShapes.html http://localhost:82/demo/

• Styling
– Global alpha
– Shadows
– Gradient
• Linear, Radial, Pattern
Canvas Element
Nir Elbaz 47

• Canvas composition
Canvas Element
Nir Elbaz 48

• Canvas transformation
– Translate
– Rotate
– Scale
– Transform
Canvas Element
Nir Elbaz 49

• Canvas animation
– Determine optimal FPS
– Draw a shape on canvas
– Clear canvas
– Redraw a shape on canvas
Canvas Element
Nir Elbaz 50

Canvas Element
Nir Elbaz 51

• Key features
– Web pages container for 2D graphics
– Vector graphics - resolution independent
– Manipulated via scripting & CSS
– Supported in IE 9+ & all other popular browsers
SVG Element in a Nutshell
52

• SVG vs. Canvas comparison
53Nir Elbaz
Canvas SVG
Pixel based (similar to image element) Vector based (similar to Flash technology)
Single HTML element (the whole canvas) Multiple graphical elements which become
part of the Document Object Model (DOM)
Modified through script only Modified through script and CSS
API does NOT support accessibility SVG markup and object model directly
supports accessibility
Resolution dependent Resolution independent
No API for animation Good support for animations via scripting &
CSS animations

• So… SVG or Canvas?
54Nir Elbaz

Plugins…Plugins…Plugins…Plugins…

• The history of HTML 5 video element
– You had to use the ugly <object> element in order
to include videos
• You had to add the <embed> element, too
• The right plugin must be installed in order to play the file
• Plugins are the cause of instability issues
• Poor display when layout overlaps the plugin area
• The media data is inaccessible (dom)
Nir Elbaz 56

• 1st class citizens – no plugins needed!
• Full access to file’s data
• Multiple codecs supported & integrated fallback
plan to support all major browsers:
Nir Elbaz 57

Nir Elbaz 58
• Video formats
• Audio formats

• Codecs & old browsers support
– we can add links to other formats of the same file,
so that it can be played in any browser, using the
source tag
– We can add to the source tags the object element,
in order to support old browsers as well
Nir Elbaz 59

• Samples
Nir Elbaz 60
video.html
audio.html
Video & canvas Adding subtitles to video file

Inline Editing
Nir Elbaz 61
• contenteditable
– Attr, turns an element into an editable area
– Can be applied to almost any element
– No need to build several views for view & editing
– Can be applied even to <style> element
– Save / undo changes can be done by JavaScript
contentEditable.html

• Introduction
– More people are experiencing the web in motion
– This increase the likelihood of connectivity issues
– Offline API allows creation of websites that give
your users a continuous experience
• App Cache: HTML, CSS, JS & images
• Storage: local/sessionStorage, Web SQL
Offline
Nir Elbaz 62

• Benefits
– Offline browsing - users can navigate your full site
when they're offline
– Speed - cached resources are local, and therefore
load faster.
– Reduced server load - browser will only download
resources from the server that have changed.
Offline
Nir Elbaz 63

• Going offline (1 of 2)
– Manifest – simple text file which specifies the files
that browser should store in cache
• A manifest can have three distinct sections:
– CACHE – listed files will be explicitly cached after they're
downloaded for the first time
– NETWORK - listed files require a connection to the server and
hence all requests to these resources bypass the cache
– FALLBACK - specifies fallback pages if a resource is
inaccessible (1st URI is the resource, the 2nd is the fallback)
Offline
Nir Elbaz 64
Your web server must have the extension .manifest
MIME TYPE: text/cache-manifest

Offline
Nir Elbaz 65
First line (mandatory)
First section is CACHE
(default)
Allows URL paths
Use # to comment

• Going offline (2 of 2)
– To tell the browser to look for a manifest, add the
manifest attribute to the html element
Offline
Nir Elbaz 66
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" manifest="/offline.manifest">

• How it really works? (1 of 2)
Offline
Nir Elbaz 67
Browser
• Requests “http://www.mysite.com/index.html
Server
• Returns index.html
Browser
• Parses index.html and requests all assets in page, including the manifest
Server
• Returns all requested assets
Browser
• Processes the manifest and requests all assets ONCE AGAIN
Server
• Returns all requested assets
Browser
• Application cache has updated, triggers an event stating so

• How it really works? (2 of 2)
Offline
Nir Elbaz 68
Browser
• Re-requests “http://www.mysite.com/index.html
Browser
• Detect that it has local cache for this page and serves it locally
Browser
• Parses index.html and requests all assets in local cache
Browser
• Requests the manifest file from the server
Server
• Returns 304 code notifying the browser that it hasn’t changed

• Introduction
– History API allows developer to browse and
manipulate the URL collection user has visited
– It is not a new concept. Existing methods:
// Check the length of the history stack
console.log(history.length);
// Send the user agent forward
console.log(history.forward());
// Send the user agent back
console.log(history.back());
// Send the user agent back (negative) or forward (positive)
// by a given number of items
console.log(history.go(-3));
History API
Nir Elbaz 69

• The problem
– URL identifies a unique resource
• You can directly link to it
• You can bookmark it
• You can share it
– Dynamic Ajax web applications (SPA architecture)
refresh page fragments w/o URL change
• URL change will refresh the whole page
History API
Nir Elbaz 70

• The solution
– Push / pop history items to the browser
– Attach data to each entry
– Manipulate URL in browser’s location bar w/o refresh
– Listen to browser’s Back button
History API
Nir Elbaz 71
Essential for SPA!

• Introduction
– There are several non-http protocols, such as the
mailto: protocol
• Web authors can use a mailto: link when they want
to provide a convenient way for users to send an email
• browser should launch the default desktop application
for handling email
• Web-based protocol handlers allow web-based
applications to participate in the process too
Web-Based Protocol Handlers
Nir Elbaz 72

• Introduction
– Same idea as the protocol handler, just for content
(MIME types)
– The code below will open all *.playtech links using
pt.html web page (handler)
Web-Based Content Handlers
Nir Elbaz 73

• Introduction
– An old concept which was first introduced in IE
– Adopted by all other browsers
– Allows to drag items and drop them anywhere
Drag & Drop
Nir Elbaz 74
Magnetic Poetry
8p

• Key features
– Get the geographical position of a user (appx)
– Requires user’s approval (safety)
– Great for providing location based services
– Supported by IE 9+, Firefox, Safai, Chrome, Opera
Geolocation
Nir Elbaz 75

• How does it work
– IP based: old-fashion, inaccurate & unreliable but
always available
– GPS: Very accurate but is only available on open
spaces
– Wi-Fi based: Very accurate and available even in
buildings but requires several Wi-Fi spots
– Cellphone: Location is set by its distance from
cellular antenas
Geolocation
Nir Elbaz 76

• Introduction
– Storing data associated with an application is
fundamental in nearly all applications
– Up until now
• Store on the server side (database server)
– Extra resources
– Split between locations
• Store in cookies
– Very limited
Data Storage
Nir Elbaz 77

• localStorage & sessionStorage (1 of 6)
– Key features
• Store string typed key-value pairs on client side
• Unlike cookies, data is not sent to server
• ~5MB per domain (4KB per cookie)
• sessionStorage: short-term, tab (window)
• localStorage: long-term, browser
• Doesn’t work in private-mode
• Don’t use for sensitive data store!
• Supported in IE 8+ & all other popular browsers
Web Storage

webStorage.html

• Introduction
– Working with web database
• There are several proposals for we database
implementation:
– WebSQL DB (Deprecated)
» A real relational database, based on SQLite and uses
» Supported in Chrome, Safari & Opera
– IndexDB (Settled down few months ago)
» SQL implementation independent
» Supported in FF, Chrome & IE 10
Web SQL
Moving to HTML 5.0 >> New APIs >> Data Storage
Nir Elbaz 79
webSQL.html
indexDB.html

• Introduction
– API for posting messages between domains
– Not restricted by the same origin policy
Messaging
Nir Elbaz 80
Messaging API
Web Sockets API Web Workers API

• The problem
– When executing scripts in an HTML page, the page
becomes unresponsive until the script is finished
– This is a major bottleneck preventing applications
from being ported to client-side JavaScript
Web Workers
Nir Elbaz 81

• Introduction
– A JavaScript that runs in the background (isolated thread)
– Runs independently of other scripts – no affect on UI!
– The code needs to be contained in a separate file
– Workers have the ability to spawn child workers
– Workers must follow the same-origin policy
– There are two kinds of web workers:
• Dedicated Workers
• Shared Workers
Web Workers
Nir Elbaz 82

Web Workers
Workers HAVE access to
• The navigator object
• The location object (R)
• XMLHttpRequest
• setTimeout()/setInterval()
• The Application Cache
• Importing external scripts
using importScripts()
• Spawning other workers
• All core JS function
• Web sockets
Workers do NOT have access to
• The DOM (not thread-safe)
• The window object
• The document object
• The parent object
Nir Elbaz 83
webWorkers.html

• Introduction
– Web sockets give a full duplex connection
between server and client
– Connection is real time, constantly open 
messages are sent immediately
– Crucial for real-time applications
– Polling  Pushing
Reactive  Proactive
Web Sockets
Nir Elbaz 85

Web Sockets
Nir Elbaz 86
Very low latency in comparison to XMLHttpRequest
+ tiny data packets (no headers required)

• Stream API
• Orientation
• Crypto
• WebNotifications
• requestAnimationFrame
• Halt on page visibility
• Contacts
Additional APIs
Nir Elbaz 87
And many more…!
• CSS 3
• Vibration
• WebCL
• SVG
• Web Audio

BROWSERS COMPATIBILITY &
SUPPORT
Moving to HTML 5.0
Nir Elbaz 88

• Work still in progress
– None of the browsers support 100% HTML 5
– Many APIs, elements & attributes are still drafts
Current Status
Moving to HTML 5.0 >> Browsers Compatibility & Support
Nir Elbaz 89
http://beta.html5test.com

• Define the browsers you wish to support
• Check browsers’ support status occasionally
(HTML5Test, FindMeByIP, ringmark, CanIUse…)
• Choose features according to the LCD rule
• Consider using polyfills – HTML5PLEASE,
HTML5 Cross Browser Polyfills
• Don’t ignore your old-fashioned users – Always
provide fallback!
• Use the Modernizr & yepnope
