5 HTML Enhancements HTML Forms CSS Offline applications Local storage
HTML Extended Document Flow: div, section, article, nav, aside, header, footer Audio, Video and Embed Canvas: paths, gradients, image manipulation, events Microdata for semantics and enhanced search engine results (Google Rich Snippets)
Image, Video, Quote, Table, etc… HTML Header Figure Navigation Image, Video, Quote, Table, etc… Aside Section Article Footer Article Footer Article Footer Legend Footer
Canvas <canvas id=“canvas” width=“150” height=“150”> </canvas> function draw() { var canvas = document.getElementById(“canvas”); if (canvas.getContext) { var ctx = canvas.getContext(“2d”); ctx.fillStyle = “rgb(200,0,0)”; ctx.fillRect (10,10,55,50); ctx.fillStyle = “rgb(0,0,200)”; ctx.fillRect (30,30,55,50); }
Form Enhancements Placeholder text Specific text input: email, URL, number, search Slider Date picker User Agent validation

Offline Applications <html mainfest=“http://m.health.unm.edu/someapp.manifest”> … </html> CACHE MANIFEST #v1.01 #Explicitly cached files CACHE: index.html Stylesheet.css Images/logo.png NETWORK: Search.cfm Login.cfm /dynamicpages FALLBACK: /dynamicpage.cfm /static.html someapp.manifest http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/offline.html
Local Storage Beyond cookies- local storage Session storage Manipulated by JavaScript Persistent 5MB storage per “origin” Secure (no communication out of the browser) Session storage Lasts as long as the browser is open Each page and tab is a new session Browser based SQLite or IndexedDB
Local Storage Web storage window.localStorage[‘value’] = ‘Save this!’; Session storage sessionStorage.useLater(‘fullname’, ‘Garth Colasurdo’); alert(“Hello ” + sessionStorage.fullname); Database storage var database = openDatabase(“Database Name”, “Database Version”); database.executeSql(“SELECT * FROM test”, function(result1) { … }); http://dev.w3.org/html5/webstorage/
User Agent Storage
Cautions Browser implementation is fragmented Standards are in development HTML Candidate Recommendation is scheduled for 2012 CSS3 is in multiple drafts and proposals ECMA-262 (edition 3) (or JavaScript 1.5) New markup and architecture design
Progress Multiple support levels Astounding user agent development 4/15/2017 Progress Multiple support levels HTML editors CSS editors and frameworks JavaScript libraries and frameworks Astounding user agent development JavaScript engines Rendering engines Device awareness Widget adoption Robust vendor competition and cooperation Continue with progressive enhancement/graceful failure methods Java script- faster, Engines- faster, Device awareness in the general pop., Blue E != Internet, SproutCore, jQTouch, Sencha
