This article mainly introduces the differences between HTML5 and traditional html in html5 study notes. For more information, see
I. HTML5 syntax changes
The changes mentioned in this knowledge point refer to changes defined based on HTML4, mainly including:
The file extension (.htmlor .htm) of 1.html5 remains unchanged from the content type (text/html.
2. In HTML5, the version declaration is deliberately not used. A document will apply to HTML of all versions.
3. From HTML5, UTF-8 is recommended for character encoding of files.
4. HTML5 ensures maximum compatibility with previous HTML versions.
To ensure compatibility, you need to start with the element. In HTML5, the element tag can be omitted. In terms of the object, the element tag can be divided into three types: "Do not allow write end tag", "you can omit end tag", and "start tag and end tag can all be omitted.
• Write end tag elements are not allowed: area, base, br, col .....
• End mark can be omitted: li, dt, dd, p, rt ......
• The start and end tags can all be omitted: html, head, body .....

3. Abolish Elements
1. elements that can be replaced by CSS
• For elements like basefont, big, center, font, s, strike, tt, and u, their functions are purely Image Display services, HTML5 advocates unified editing of the image display function in the CSS style sheet, so these elements are abolished
2. frame framework is no longer used
• For frameset elements, frame Elements, and noframes elements, the frame framework does not support the frame framework and only the iframe framework in html5, alternatively, you can create a composite page composed of multiple pages on the server and abolish the three elements.
3. Only some elements supported by browsers
• For applet, bgsound, blink, marquee and other elements, only some browsers support these elements, especially bgsound and marquee elements, and are only supported by Internet Explorer, therefore, HTML 5 is abolished.

4. Adding and abolishing attributes
1. New Attributes
1. Form-related attributes
• Added the autofocus attribute, which enables the element to automatically obtain the focus when the screen is opened;
• The placeholder attribute is added, prompting users to input content;
• Add the form attribute, declare which form it belongs to, and place it in any position on the page, rather than in the form;
• Added the required attribute, which indicates to check when the user submits the request. Check that the element must contain the input content;
2. Link-related attributes
• Adds the media attribute, which specifies why the target URL is optimized for media/devices and can only be used when the href attribute exists;
• Add the hreflang and rel attributes to keep them consistent with element a and link;
3. Other attributes
• Attribute reverend, which specifies the reverse display of the List;
• Add the async attribute to the script element, which defines whether the script is executed asynchronously;
Ii. Abolishing attributes
• All attributes that can be replaced by CSS style sheets are abolished;
• Redundant attributes, such as target, profile, and version, are abolished;
5. Global attributes
In HTML5, a concept of ''global attribute ''is added. Global attributes are attributes that can be used for any element.
1. contentEditable attributes
• This attribute allows you to edit the content in the element to obtain the mouse focus. The attribute is a Boolean value and can be specified as true or false. In addition, this property also has a hidden inherit status. If it is set to true, editing is allowed. If it is set to false, editing is not allowed. If it is not specified, it is determined by inherit.
2. designMode attributes
• This attribute is used to determine whether the entire page can be edited. There are two attributes: "on" and "off ". When the attribute is "on", it can be edited. If it is "off", it cannot be edited.
3. hidden attributes
• A hidden attribute can be used for all elements. This attribute is similar to the hidden element in the input element. The function is to notify the browser not to render this element and make it invisible. This attribute value is a Boolean value. If it is true, it is invisible. If it is false, it is visible.
4. spellcheck attributes
• This attribute is a new attribute provided by HTML 5 for text input boxes (type = text) and textarea. It mainly checks the spelling and syntax of user input content. The attribute value is a Boolean value. When writing, you must explicitly declare that the attribute value is true or false. The writing method is as follows:
<Input type = text spellcheck = false> <! -The following two writing methods are incorrect: <textarea spellcheck> <br/> <strong> details about form attributes <br/> </strong> In HTML4, the subordinate elements in the form must be written inside the form, but in HTML5, they can be written anywhere on the page, and then a form attribute is created for the element, the attribute value is the id of the form unit, so that you can declare that the element belongs to the specified form. <Br/> <br> <p class = "msgheader"> <p class = "right"> <u> </p> the code is as follows: </p> <p class = "msgborder" id = "phpcode27"> <br/> <! Doctype html> <br/> <ptml lang = "en-US"> <br/> <pead> <br/> <meta charset = "UTF-8"> <br/> <title> form attributes </title> <br/> </pead> <br/> <body> <br/> <textarea form = "testform" name = "" cols = "30" rows = "10">
The input element belongs to a form. It is written inside the form and no form attribute needs to be specified for it. The textarea element is written outside the form, but belongs to the form. Therefore, the form id is assigned to the form attribute of the textareea element.
The advantage of this is that you can add styles to elements on the page more easily, because they are not dispersed in various forms.
