forgotten html elements friendly bit jump to content or jump to navigation friendly bit contact feed forgotten html elements dec 4 2006 emil stenström html html has existed for a long time now with five released versions 1 2 3 0 3 2 4 01 some very interesting elements have existed in previous versions and i went on a little journey back in time to find and document them off we go robert nyman had a little contest a couple of weeks ago where he gave away an ipod to the person that best motivated why he she liked a certain html element people gave a lot of good explanations and pretty much the whole html 4 specification was covered even blink knowing that all of html 4 was taken and that he didn t specify what version of html to choose i started searching through the older specs i was soon stuck in html 3 0 and continued reading long after i had found my favorite note was and is my favorite specified in html 3 0 as an element that s there for all kinds of little notes a sidetrack to something you are currently speaking about or perhaps some operation failed message they even go as far as to recommend a few default class names warning notice and error nice wouldn t this be nice in the current ajax web 2 0 world where everything acts like an application why not use note for all those little messages i could certainly see the use for something like that unlike me the html 4 spec writers didn t see any use of such an element and note was not included in html 4 fn also from html 3 0 is up next most of the new html 3 0 elements are aimed at different things that fit into the document metaphor like research papers and books so is the next one fn is short for footnote a name that clearly defines its purpose it s similar to the note element but meant for smaller notes if you are trying to mimic a book with references to somewhat disconnected information about something this one is perfect but why not use it for things like fancy tooltips while we re at it sadly this element got kicked out of html 4 isindex is a bit different from the previous elements it s defined as far back as in html 1 and was included all the way to html 3 2 it was meant to represent that a certain page could be searched but gave the user agent the option of how to get the query from the user if put in the head of the document the user agent should prompt the user on load if put in the body it should behave like one of those search this page form fields we are used to from google com needless to say the exact same thing can be accomplished with a snippet of javascript or a html form no need to let this one clutter the spec good removal banner is another half breed specified in html 3 0 it s meant for elements which should be set at a fixed position on the page much like how position fixed works in modern browsers from the name you could think that this is an element you would want to block to get rid of ads but the html 3 0 spec mentions that navigation inside the banner element is ok too i believe the problem with this element is twofold first if it was meant for banners only why should you want to put you advertisement inside it that would just mean that it would be easier to block and i m sure most advertisers would dislike that second if it s meant for information that shouldn t be scrolled then what s it doing in the html that s certainly style and should be in the css as well another good removal figure actually has some uses also from html 3 0 it s meant for all types of media and has built in support for alternative content it has ways to add image maps by using ordinary links and it has support for figure captions yes this is a catch all for any data that s not in text format have a look at the figure examples in the specification looks pretty nice doesn t it why was this removed my guess is that the object element took its place see object in html 4 01 object lets you specify more information about the figures its meant for but does not limit itself to images yeah there were reasons to remove figure from the spec too well that s all from friendly bit feel free to read through the specs in search for other elements that i ve missed and post your findings in the comments perhaps html 5 will even revive some of the old elements comments dec 5 2006 by zcorpan 1 for what it s worth html 3 0 was actually never released nor actually implemented however you missed a spec html also never released nor implemented html5 now has figure although it s not quite like fig in html or html 3 0 notes and annotations have been discussed on the list and is being considered i believe if you or someone else think something is missing in html5 then let s hear it dec 5 2006 by harmen janssen 2 note sounds awesome i too have all these little notes in all my sites and apps that all go in a or element with an associated class but would be far more appropriate dec 18 2006 by anne van kesteren 3 the html5 proposal also includes among others the predefined classes note warning error and search which seem applicable here dec 18 2006 by emil stenström 4 zcorpan i don t need your stinkin mail list i ll talk to you directly instead anne van kesteren good to hear i have some thoughts on using classes for added semantics but that s a different post thanks for your clarification oct 12 2009 by alex 5 very interesting article i have never seen this elements before
