A decision has been made by the power that is Ian Hixie, to remove the time element from the HTML5 specification and replace it with the data element. This in my view is a terrible decision that has been made by one person despite a lot of opposition to the initial idea that was put forward.
I’m pleased to announce that I’ve written a three part tutorial series on HTML5 Multimedia for the Adobe Developer Connection.
As the author of an HTML5 book myself, I was recently asked to review a copy of another HTML5 book that was released earlier this year: HTML5: Guidelines for Web Developers by Austrian duo Klaus Förster and Bernd Öggl, who both work at the University of Innsbruck in Austria.
When I’m reviewing and commenting on submissions for HTML5 Gallery, I come across a number of common mistakes one of which covers the use (and mis-use!) of the header and hgroup elements.
So, that’s it. Three months after starting from scratch, the final chapter and introduction have been reviewed and sent off to production.
Of course the production material still needs to be reviewed, but as for new material, I’m done.
A few weeks back, fellow HTML5 Gallery curator Derek Johnson tweeted the following:
Re-reading the spec and can’t see why some people say nav is only for links within the same site.
As one of the “people” Derek referred to, I was suddenly hit with doubt. So I headed over to the HTML5 specifcation and sure enough there’s no actual mention that the nav element is only to contain links whose target is within the same site.
How odd I thought.
