ing on a copy of your list with code examples sep 21 2006 by emil stenström 7 elliot swan thanks now you know the reason for the lack of posts for a couple of days sean fraser oh i forgot to tell you about the bars i ll add that info fredrico thanks for the updates i have no idea what i was thinking with cite tj i think it s a matter of how you look at javascript to me it s a way to add extra stuff not something that should be required thanks for the links it s not hard writing javascript that hides content even getting it cross browser rowan lewis thanks for the fixes i agree with all of them except the pre element hmm ok if i add code examples too it has been on my radar all along sep 21 2006 by sean fraser 8 will this one be available as a pdf deleted this comment by misstake sorry sep 21 2006 by emil stenström 9 sean fraser i ll have a look at it nice idea sep 21 2006 by tj 10 to me it s a way to add extra stuff not something that should be required a fair evaluation i wish i could always provide alternate solution but it s not easy thanks for this list it s a great expansion of w3school s indispensable html reference sep 21 2006 by rowan lewis 11 emil the reason i m pro pre element is because its the best thing suited for the job i ve known people to use display block on code elements but that is wrong since its a strictly inline element sep 21 2006 by peter krantz 12 thank you for an interesting summary contrary to what you write i think that html isn t rich at all it has a background in computer science publication which is evident when looking at the domain specific elements kbd var etc some other feedback sub sup they just say that content should go up or down this means that you can not parse any valuable meaning from them is the expression squared or is it a footnote reference what practical use can you make from that ins del although they mean something many browsing devices do not know what to do with them is it clear to a user that something has been deleted just because you style it with strikethrough some screen readers ignore these elements and read all of the text which may have unintended consequences be careful hr this element actually menas something it acts as a section divider and is there even when styling is switched off div has no meaning and should be used to structure the document without affecting the content unfortunately the name implies a horizontal line in xhtml2 it has been renamed to separator which properly describes it s use i b well these actually have a meaning if your content is about typography but maybe that is a special case sep 21 2006 by enciclopedia de entidades html anieto2k 13 pingback recopilación en forma de enciclopedia de las entidades html útil para conocerlas todas y no dejarte ninguna sep 21 2006 by what s hot and what s not in html at the blog herald 14 pingback emil over at friendly bit has written a nice post called encyclopedia of html elements where he comments on what elements he thinks are ok to use and how and what s not it s a good read especially for the not so experienced webdesigner who don t quite grasp what all those web standard advocates are bitching about sep 21 2006 by emil stenström 15 peter krantz it isn t contrary to what i write at all it just has to do with what you compare with modern html is a lot richer than oldfashoned table layouts that was what i was getting at with my comment html certainly lacks elements from areas outside of the computer science domain sup and sub after some consideration i agree i was not thinking of to the square of or atom number rather than just design like the spec states updated ins and del text updated i had no idea hr i don t agree in my world div has the semantical meaning of representing a section of the page a division this is what hr tries to define too but instead of marking the section it marks the space in between them similar to br and simply not the best way of doing things i and b you could say that about all elements if you write about horizontal lines hr is a semantical element it might be valid use but like you say it s a border case sep 21 2006 by ben millard 16 html is very useful for setting the primary language of the document via the lang attribute the reason many tags are optional is because they can be inferred programattically many end tags are optional in html so that code heavy structures like lists and tables aren t quite so inefficient you can set images via the background shorthand property in css this allows a colour to be set as a fallback for areas the image doesn t cover and it will be used when the image cannot be displayed a user without a keyboard or assistive peripherals capable of sending keycodes to the device obviously can t use the contents of kbd explain the same operation when using a mouse or equivalen assistive peripheral if you are that worried about device independance p you can use multiple tbody elements in a table if the table has several sections an use case example of this would be the final stages of the fifa 2006 tournament typo in the tr section you refer to th instead i think marking up your tag names like you do with css property names would make these explanations easier to follow using the same case for all tag names would help too currently some are uppercase and some are lowercase edit your use of dt in the article doesn t seem right even when taking a key value interpretatation of you often include a description value of the tag name as part of the term key when descriptions values should be in dd s i d suggest using headings and paragraphs instead of an enourmous dl headings would better describe the structure of the document by spliting the content area subsections since each tag has a significant amount of content about it sep 21 2006 by mis algoritmos blog archive enciclopedia de los elementos html 17 pingback enciclopedia de los elementos html sep 21 2006 by emil stenström 18 ben millard thanks for your comments the comment section is becomming a resource in itself i updated the lists on some places i think the use of a dl is ok here it is a list of elements not headers this is certainly key value where you can look up an element key and see the tips connected to it values i only use caps in the dt as far as i see that s the intended way thanks again sep 21 2006 by zcorpan 19 abbr is for abbreviations not terms address is for contact information about the author not addresses i disagree about the use of b if you use bold for a purpose of which html doesn t have an element type e g the name of a product then b is appropriate and strong is not em and strong are not replacements for b and i bdo is for rtl text css is an optional layer and the text should still be readable without css so bdo should be used when you want bidi override cite can also be used for references em is for stress emphasis not importance strong is importance see web apps hr isn t a section divider it s a paragraph divider they are common in books as or some such which represents e g meanwhile or later on this will eventually be defined in web apps the html element can t be used just like any div it is specifically the root element of an html document and may not be used elsewhere kbd is about user input not specifically keyboard user input also note that keyboard buttons are not user input web apps defines numerious ways to nest kbd samp to represent different things noscript is only useful for document write scripts which arguably should be avoided anyway pre preformatted text means that line breaks and white space is significant applications other than ascii art includes text only e mails and python code samp is for computer output sub sup while they are presentational by nature html doesn t have an element which represents the power of in the mathemathical sense so if you don t intend to use mathml or some other math markup sup is better than span to express the power of and other things because at least it has correct typographical representation and typographical representations are not limited to visual presentations screen readers could announce superscript for instance in web apps they are appropriate when the absense of them would change the meaning var is not only for computer variables but for any type of variable and can be used in general prose sep 21 2006 by emil stenström 20 zcorpan abbr i didn t want to use the abbrreviations word at first because people might not know what it means i change the text to use it but explains it below instead address html var updated the wording there b i sup sub this is about structure we can t start using elements just because their default look in some browser i don t agree bdo you can also represent this in the content by using certain utf 8 characters i think that s a better way than claiming this has with semantics or structure to do where s the direction for western text thanks for your comments our opinions seems to differ on some points but i think that s mostly because you base your statements on web apps and i base mine on what feels right for me sep 22 2006 by qureyoon 21 this is very very helpfull xpcialy 4 those who have limited knowledge of html can i link it to my blog thank you very much sep 22 2006 by emil stenström 22 qureyoon thanks if you want to link to it please do the code for it is at the bottom of the page sep 22 2006 by me 23 i ve always wondered why browsers render pre as monospace when that s the purpose of tt nothing is stopping pre from being rendered as variable width text sep 22 2006 by blaise 24 body all always use even though a page without it for strange reasons still validate why is there a special reason for this sep 22 2006 by robert nyman 25 very good work emil and lots of valid and interesting comments too sep 22 2006 by emil stenström 26 me yeah the default styling is very strange in some cases blaise good question i use it because i think it s a nice way of separating what s meta information about the page and what s the real content you can also use it as a wrapper sep 22 2006 by evan 27 first i d like to say you put a lot of work into this and thanks for doing it it looks very useful but i do have some disagreements with your definitions along the lines of zcorpan above if something is really just presentational and not semantic at all then nothing should happen to the meaning if we alter the presentation consider sup when used in mathematics x2 vs x2 the physical positioning of the 2 means something just like a physical line break in a poem sep 23 2006 by emil stenström 28 evan if we markup that example with x span class powerof 2 span we don t change the meaning by removing style you see what i mean sep 23 2006 by links for 2006 09 23 donghai ma 29 pingback encyclopedia of html elements friendly bit tags design reference software tips tutorial web sep 23 2006 by dan pettersson 30 may i translate parts of this list of course i ll link here as a reference emil i agree with evan sup sub does have a meaning even if it may vary depending on whether it is used in mathematics as a note or in e g chemistry even if it s not the perfect element there is a need to specify raised and lowered characters even when css is turned off and since the elements pow base note elcharge and quite a few more if you include various terms in physics and chemistry don t exist i think we might as well use sup sub sep 24 2006 by emil stenström 31 dan pettersson yes you may translate it just make sure the original gets a link from somewhere in the beginning i don t agree on sub and sub they are no better than b and i sep 25 2006 by rowan lewis 32 but emil thats the same reason the pre element is so important it has to represent preformatted text no matter what you can t just place the text in a paragraph and style it with css because what then happens to search engines text browsers and screen readers by the way you re never on irc sep 25 2006 by johan 33 i bet not everyoen will ever use all of these tags can anyone make a webpage that contains all these tags it is also important to know when to use what and what tags are useful in which case for a webpage that is meant for a general website you wont be needing all of them what is the seo value of all these tags which attributes go with the corresponding tags sep 25 2006 by emil stenström 34 rowan lewis i m not sure what you mean the formating of the text doesn t matter to search engines screen readers and the likes so why does it matter if it s inside a pre block or not johan i have used all of the above tags at least once including the don t use ones the article is all about when to use what tag wasn t that clear i won t list all the attributes that s far too much information at one place i do list common misstakes with attributes though for seo title is most important then the header tags followed by strong and em which has the same weight as b and i sep 25 2006 by rowan lewis 35 emil because if you place source code or other preformatted text in a p element or something else it ll be the bigest mess and completely unreadable sep 25 2006 by johan 36 for seo title is most important then the header tags followed by strong and em which has the same weight as b and i i know that i even thought that h1 has more weight than h2 or is it just the consistent use of headings as titles of any content block eg archives testimonials etcetera which in turn results into a higher number og headings also the number of links do count for seo search engines take in account links and images i agree that there is a whole lot more to get deeper into now people dont have an excuse anymore sep 27 2006 by dustin 37 i was reading about your discussion of the hr and i feel that it is still useful let s say for instance i have a sidebar that also has my bottom links in it and i ve used css to have it be all pretty with rounded edges and whatnot i don t want two seperate divisions making two of these boxes i want one box with all of this information neatly divided how else to do that but with hr oct 3 2006 by harmen janssen 38 first of all very nice work it s a great list very helpful you said you didn t want to go too deep into attributes but i m wondering the ins attribute datetime should according to the w3c be formatted as yyyymmdd is this mandatory i think it would be more readable and therefore more valuable when the author can format this date to his likings for instance inserting hyphens this would certainly help when your content is non english and national date formatting rules differ from yyyymmdd oct 9 2006 by kal ström 39 but sub and sup has semantical meaning just like emphasis em and strong emphasis strong has it s a way to give meaning to content what does the superscripted number mean in relation to its context that s the important thing and that is why it is not simply just presentational just like em and strong isn t nov 1 2006 by links for 2006 10 16 at willkoca 4...
