Introduction to Web Programming


It’s true that the two organizations work collaboratively, but their relationship isn’t necessarily 
a well-oiled machine. Their relationship is more like siblings who grouse every now and then. For 
example, note this snippet from a WHATWG web page:
5
The W3C publishes some forked versions of these specifications. We have requested that they stop 
publishing these but they have refused. They copy most of our fixes into their forks, but their forks 
are usually weeks to months behind. They also make intentional changes, and sometimes even 
unintentional changes, to their versions. We highly recommend not paying any attention to the 
W3C forks of WHATWG standards.

Differences Between Old HTML and HTML5
In the real world, you’ll see a lot of old HTML code. The old code you’ll see the most of will prob-
ably be XHTML 1.0 because it was the most popular precursor to HTML5. When you see that 
code, there’s no need to be alarmed; today’s browsers render XHTML 1.0 code just fine. But in 
the interest of long-term stability and following your company’s coding conventions, you’ll some-
times need to convert old HTML code to HTML5. To do so, you need to know the differences 
between old HTML code and HTML5.
The following differences address the issue of existing web pages that don’t match XHTML 
1.0’s strict syntax. More specifically, the following differences show how HTML5 has loosened up 
some of its syntax rules as compared to XHTML 1.0:

With HTML5, there

s no longer a requirement to have a quoted value for every attribute.
So for some HTML5 attributes, it’s legal to include an attribute by itself, without an 
equals sign or value attached to it. However, standard coding conventions suggest always 
including the quotation marks.

With HTML5, there

s no longer a requirement to have a 
/
for all void elements.
For example, the XHTML specification requires writing the 
br
void element with a slash
. The HTML5 specification says you can include or omit the slash. Standard coding 
conventions suggest always omitting the 
/
.

With HTML5, there

s no longer a requirement to have an end tag for every container.
The XHTML specification requires including a 
end tag for every 
p
container 
element. The HTML5 specification says you can include or omit the end tag. Standard 
coding conventions suggest always including the end tag.
Old versions of HTML (including XHTML 1.0) include some elements that are deemed out-
dated. In particular, elements whose purpose is to provide formatting are deemed outdated. This 
is because formatting is supposed to be taken care of by CSS, not HTML elements. To clean things 
up, such outdated elements are not a part of the HTML5 standard. For example, the

elements are not supported by HTML5 because they were used to specify font and 
alignment, which are format-oriented characteristics.
The HTML5 standard includes quite a few new constructs. The following list shows just some 
of them:

Structural organization elements—Two examples are the 
header
and 
footer
elements. 
We

ll cover structural organization elements in Chapter 4.

Audio and video—The 
audio
and 
video
elements allow users to play music and video 
files directly from their browsers without the need of a plug-in. We

ll cover 
audio
and 
video
elements in Chapter 7.

Canvas—The 
canvas
element provides a drawing area and a set of commands that a web 
programmer can use to draw two-dimensional shapes and animate them. We

ll cover the 
canvas
element in Chapter 12.

Drag and drop functionality—The drag and drop constructs provide the ability to drag 
elements within a web page. This is beyond the scope of this book.

Web storage functionality—The web storage constructs provide the ability to permanently 
store data on the browser

s computer. This is beyond the scope of this book.

Geolocation functionality—The geolocation constructs provide the ability to locate the 
browser

s computer. This is beyond the scope of this book.
