What's the big deal with HTML5 compared to HTML 4.01 anyway?

The big deal about HTML5 is threefold. First, there are some new elements and attributes in HTML5 that are pretty cool (like the <video> element), and others that will help you write better pages (we'll be getting to those later in the book). Second, there are many new features that allow web developers to create web applications with HTML5. Web applications are webpages that behave more like applications (like the ones you're used to using on your laptop or mobile device) than static web pages. If you're interested in creating web applications, then after you're all done with this book (cue shameless plug), you should check out Head First HTML5 Programming (O'Reilly). Finally, the HTML5 specification is a lot more robust than the specifications for the previous versions of HTML. And helping browsers to know how to handle those errors? That means that web pages with errors on them don't cause the havoc they used to, which is a good thing for users.

bottom property

The bottom property affects the vertical position of a positioned element. This property has no effect on non-positioned elements. If position: absolute; or position: fixed; - the bottom property sets the bottom edge of an element to a unit above/below the bottom edge of its nearest positioned ancestor. If position: relative; - the bottom property makes the element's bottom edge to move above/below its normal position. If position: sticky; - the bottom property behaves like its position is relative when the element is inside the viewport, and like its position is fixed when it is outside. If position: static; - the bottom property has no effect.

mailto

The browser opens a new e-mail message if it encounters a______ URL

display property

The display property (CSS)nspecifies the display behavior (the type of rendering box) of an element. In HTML, the default display property value is taken from the HTML specifications or from the browser/user default style sheet. The default value in XML is inline, including SVG elements.

<input type="email"

The email <input> element is just a text input, but on some mobile browsers, you'll get a custom keyboard for email when you start typing.

Id element

The id attribute specifies a unique id for an HTML element (the value must be unique within the HTML document). The id value can be used by CSS and JavaScript to perform certain tasks for a unique element with the specified id value. In CSS, to select an element with a specific id, write a hash (#) character, followed by the id of the element

left property

The left property affects the horizontal position of a positioned element. This property has no effect on non-positioned elements. If position: absolute; or position: fixed; - the left property sets the left edge of an element to a unit to the left of the left edge of its nearest positioned ancestor. If position: relative; - the left property sets the left edge of an element to a unit to the left/right of its normal position. If position: sticky; - the left property behaves like its position is relative when the element is inside the viewport, and like its position is fixed when it is outside. If position: static; - the left property has no effect.

margin

The margin property sets the margins for an element, and is a shorthand property for the following properties: margin-top margin-right margin-bottom margin-left

<input type="number"

The number <input> element restricts input to numbers. You can even specify a min and max number that is allowed with optional attributes.

position property

The position property specifies the type of positioning method used for an element. There are five different position values: static relative fixed absolute sticky

background-color property

The property you can add to the body selector in an external CSS file to specify the color of the page background

<input type="radio">

The radio <input> element creates a single control with several buttons, only one of which can be selected at any time. These are like old-time car radio buttons; you "push" one in, and the rest "pop out."

right property

The right property affects the horizontal position of a positioned element. This property has no effect on non-positioned elements. If position: absolute; or position: fixed; - the right property sets the right edge of an element to a unit to the right of the right edge of its nearest positioned ancestor. If position: relative; - the right property sets the right edge of an element to a unit to the left/right of its normal position. If position: sticky; - the right property behaves like its position is relative when the element is inside the viewport, and like its position is fixed when it is outside. If position: static; - the right property has no effect.

What exactly is a spec, anyway?

The specification is the document that specifies what the HTML standard is; that is, what elements and attributes are in HTML, and more. This document is maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C, for short), but anyone can contribute to it and have a say in how the standard is developed.

<input type="submit">

The submit <input> element creates a button that allows you to submit a form. When you click this button, the browser sends the form to the server script for processing.

<input type="tel"

The tel <input> element is also just a text input, but like email, causes a custom keyboard to pop up on mobile devices.

top property

The top property affects the vertical position of a positioned element. This property has no effect on non-positioned elements. If position: absolute; or position: fixed; - the top property sets the top edge of an element to a unit above/below the top edge of its nearest positioned ancestor. If position: relative; - the top property makes the element's top edge to move above/below its normal position. If position: sticky; - the top property behaves like its position is relative when the element is inside the viewport, and like its position is fixed when it is outside. If position: static; - the top property has no effect.

<input /> type attribute
