HTML5 Element Index

This is a quick reference of elements that are new or have been redefined in HTML5. For

each element there is a short description, a link to the specification, and a code example.

Our prognosis links to the HTML5 Doctor article on the element. There are more articles

in theArticle Archive.

A

If the a element has an href attribute, then it represents a hyperlink (a

hypertext anchor). If the a element has no href attribute, then the element

represents a placeholder for where a link might otherwise have been placed, if it hadbeen relevant.

The target, rel, media, hreflang, and type attributes must be omitted ifthe href attribute is not present.

addressour prognosis

Represents the contact information for its enclosing section. If it is a child of the

body element, then it applies to the document as a whole.

http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-address-element code snippet

area

The area element represents either a hyperlink with some text and a

corresponding area on an image map, or a dead area on an image map.

If the area element has no href attribute, then the area represented by the elementcannot be selected, and the alt attribute must be omitted.

asideour prognosis

Represents a section of a page consisting of content that is tangentially related to the

content around the aside element, and which could be considered separate from

that content. Such sections are often represented as sidebars in printed typography.

http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-aside-element code snippet

audioour prognosis

Represents a sound or audio stream.

Content may be nested inside the audio element. User agents should not show this

content to the user. Authors should use this content to force older browsers to use alegacy audio plugin or to inform the user of how to access the audio content.

Supported audio codecs:

Chrome 3+ supports .ogg and .wav Firefox 3.5+ supports .ogg and .wav Opera 10.5+ supports .ogg and .wav Safari 4+ supports .mp3 and .wav

B

bour prognosis

Represents a span of text to be stylistically offset from the normal prose withoutconveying any extra importance. Examples are key words in a document abstract,

product names in a review, or other spans of text whose typical typographic

presentation is bold.

The b element should be used as a last resort when no other element is more

appropriate. In particular, headings should use the h1 to h6 elements, stressemphasis should use the em element, importance should be denoted with the strong

element, and text marked or highlighted should use the mark element.

The base element allows authors to specify the document base URL for the

purposes of resolving relative URLs, and the name of the default browsing contextfor the purposes of following hyperlinks. The element does not represent any

content beyond this information.

There must be no more than one base element per document. A base elementmust have either an href attribute, a target attribute, or both.

http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-base-element code snippet

bdi

C

canvasour prognosis

Represents a resolution-dependent bitmap canvas, which can be used for renderinggraphs, game graphics, or other visual images on the fly.

Authors should not use the canvas element in a document when a more suitable

element is available. For example, it is inappropriate to use a canvas element to

render a page heading. If the desired presentation of the heading is graphically

intense, it should be marked up using appropriate elements (typically h1) and then

styled using CSS and supporting technologies such as XBL.

When authors use the canvas element, they must also provide content that, when

presented to the user, conveys essentially the same function or purpose as thebitmap canvas. This content should be nested within the canvas element as a

fallback.

http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-canvas-element code snippet

caption

The caption element represents the title of the table that is its parent, if it has a

parent and that is a table element.

When a table element is the only content in a figure element other than the

figcaption, the caption element should be omitted in favor of the

figcaption.

http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-caption-element code snippetcite

The cite element represents the title of a work (e.g. a book, a paper, an essay, a

poem, a score, a song, a script, a film, a TV show, a game, a sculpture, a painting, a

theatre production, a play, an opera, a musical, an exhibition, a legal case report,etc). This can be a work that is being quoted or referenced in detail (i.e. a citation),

or it can just be a work that is mentioned in passing.

A person's name is not the title of a workeven if people call that person a pieceof workand the element must therefore not be used to mark up people's names.(In some cases, the b element might be appropriate for names; e.g. in a gossip article

where the names of famous people are keywords rendered with a different style to

of text in an academic publication that has recently come under additional scrutiny.

http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-mark-element code snippet

menu

The menu element represents a list of commands.

If a menu element's type attribute is in the context menu state, then the elementrepresents the commands of a context menu, and the user can only interact with the

commands if that context menu is activated. If a menu element's type attribute is in

the toolbar state, then the element represents a list of active commands that the user

can immediately interact with.

If a menu element's type attribute is in the list state, then the element either

represents an unordered list of items (each represented by an li element), each ofwhich represents a command that the user can perform or activate, or, if the element

has no li element children, flow content describing available commands.

http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#menus code snippet

meta

The meta element represents various kinds of metadata that cannot be expressed

using the title, base, link, style, and script elements.

The meta element can represent document-level metadata with the name attribute,

When the meter binding applies to a meter element, the element is expected to

render as an 'inline-block' box with a 'height' of '1em' and a 'width' of '5em', a

'vertical-align' of '-0.2em', and with its contents depicting a gauge.

When the element is wider than it is tall(or square), the depiction is expected to beof a horizontal gauge, with the minimum value on the right if the 'direction' property

on this element has a computed value of 'rtl', and on the left otherwise. When the

element is taller than it is wide, it is expected to depict a vertical gauge, with theminimum value on the bottom.
