HTML5 Form Element

<output> Element

The <output> element is used for different types of output, like calculations or script output:

Syntax

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>

+<input type="number" name="b" value="" />
=<output name="x" for="a b"></output>
</form>

</body>
</html>

HTML5 Form Element

<keygen> Element

The purpose of the <keygen> element is to provide a secure way to authenticate users.
The <keygen> element is a key-pair generator. When a form is submitted, two keys are generated, one private and one public.
The private key is stored on the client, and the public key is sent to the server. The public key could be used to generate a client certificate to authenticate the user in the future.
Currently, the browser support for this element is not good enough to be a useful security standard.

Syntax:

<form action="demo_form.asp" method="get">
Username: <input type="text" name="user_name" />
Encryption: <keygen name="security" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<form action="demo_keygen.asp" method="get">
Username: <input type="text" name="user_name" />
Encryption: <keygen name="security" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

HTML5 Form Element

<datalist> Element

The <datalist> element specifies a list of options for an input field.
The list is created with <option> elements inside the <datalist>.
To bind a <datalist> to an input field, let the list attribute of the input field refer to the id of the datalist:

Syntax:

Webpage: <input type="url" list="url_list" name="link" />
<datalist id="url_list">
<option label="W3Schools" value="http://html5-demo.blogspot.com" />
<option label="Google" value="http://www.google.com" />
<option label="Microsoft" value="http://css3-xhtml.blogspot.com" />
</datalist>

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<form action="demo_form.asp" method="get">
Webpage: <input type="url" list="url_list" name="link" />
<datalist id="url_list">
    <option label="W3Schools" value="http://html5-demo.blogspot.com" />
    <option label="Google" value="http://www.google.com" />
    <option label="Microsoft" value="http://css3-xhtml.blogspot.com" />
</datalist>
<input type="submit" />
</form>

</body>
</html>

HTML5 Form Elements

The new form elements are :

<datalist> -Defines a list of options for an input field
<keygen> - Defines a key-pair generator field
<output>- Represents the result of a calculation

Browser Support

Tag	IE	Firefox	Opera	Chrome	Safari
<datalist>	No	4.0	9.5	No	No

HTML5 Canvas

The HTML5 canvas element is used JavaScript for dynamic, scriptable rendering of 2D shapes and bitmap images to draw graphics on a web page.
A canvas is a rectangular area, and you control every pixel of it.
The canvas element has several methods for drawing paths, boxes, circles, characters, and adding images.
It has no drawing abilities of its own. All drawing must be done inside a JavaScript.

<canvas id="myCanvas" width="200" height="100"></canvas>

Syntax:

<script type="text/javascript">
var c=document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx=c.getContext("2d");
ctx.fillStyle="maroon";
ctx.fillRect(0,0,100,50);
</script>

Example:1

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<canvas id="myCanvas" width="200" height="100" style="border:1px solid #c3c3c3;">
Your browser does not support the canvas element.
</canvas>

<script type="text/javascript">

var c=document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx=c.getContext("2d");
ctx.fillStyle="maroon";
ctx.fillRect(0,0,100,50);

</script>

</body>
</html>

Result:

Note:

JavaScript uses the id to find the canvas element:

var c=document.getElementById("myCanvas");
2. create a context object:

var ctx=c.getContext("2d");

3. The fillStyle method makes it maroon, and the fillRect method specifies the shape, position, and size.
The canvas' X and Y coordinates are used to position drawings on the canvas.

ctx.fillStyle="maroon";
ctx.fillRect(0,0,150,75);

Example 2: Draw a line by specifying from where it will start, and it will stop.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<canvas id="myCanvas-range" width="200" height="200" style="border:1px solid red;">
Your browser does not support the canvas element.
</canvas>

<script type="text/javascript">

var c=document.getElementById("myCanvas-range");
var ctx=c.getContext("2d");
ctx.moveTo(20,20);
ctx.lineTo(100,75);
ctx.lineTo(20,75);
ctx.stroke();

</script>

</body>
</html>

Result:

Example 3: Draw a circle by specifying the size, color, and position.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<canvas id="myCanvas" width="200" height="200" style="border:2px solid green;">
Your browser does not support the canvas element.
</canvas>

<script type="text/javascript">
var c=document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx=c.getContext("2d");
ctx.fillStyle="maroon";
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(70,50,50,50,Math.PI*2,true);
ctx.closePath();
ctx.fill();
</script>

</body>
</html>

Result:

Example 4: Draw a gradient background with the colors specify.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<canvas id="myCanvas" width="200" height="200" style="border:2px solid blue;">
Your browser does not support the canvas element.
</canvas>

<script type="text/javascript">

var c=document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var ctx=c.getContext("2d");
var grd=ctx.createLinearGradient(0,0,175,50);
grd.addColorStop(0,"red");
grd.addColorStop(1,"green");

ctx.fillStyle=grd;
ctx.fillRect(0,0,150,75);

</script>

</body>
</html>

Result:

HTML5 Audio Tags

HTML5 audio Tags


<audio> - Defines soundcontent.
<source>: Defines multiple media resources for media elements, such as <video> and <audio>

HTML5 provides a standard for playing audio files.
There has not been a standard for playing audio files on a web page.
Although HTML 5 audio is a relatively immature part of the standard.
Today, most audio files are played through a plug-in (like flash). However, different browsers may have different plug-ins.
HTML5 defines a new element which specifies a standard way to embed an audio file on a web page: the <audio> element.
The control attribute adds audio controls, like play, pause, and volume.

You should also insert text content between the <audio> and </audio> tags for browsers that do not support the <audio> element.
The <audio> element allows multiple <source> elements. <source> elements can link to different audio files. The browser will use the first recognized format.

Syntax:

<audio controls="controls">
<source src="song.ogg" type="audio/ogg" />
<source src="song.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" />
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<audio controls="controls">
<source src="song.ogg" type="audio/ogg" />
<source src="song.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" />
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>

</body>
</html>

Browser Support and Audio Formats

Currently, there are 3 supported file formats for the <audio> element: MP3, Wav, and Ogg:

Browser	MP3	Wav	Ogg
Internet Explorer 9	YES	NO	NO
Firefox 4.0	NO	YES	YES
Google Chrome 6	YES	YES	YES
Apple Safari 5	YES	YES	NO
Opera 10.6	NO	YES	YES

DOM control HTML5 video

DOM control HTML5 <video>

The HTML5 <video> element also has methods, properties, and events.
There are methods for playing, pausing, and loading.
There are properties (e.g. duration, volume, seeking) that you can read or set.
There are also DOM events that can notify you, for example, when the <video> element begins to play, is paused, is ended, etc.

Syntax:

<video width="320px" height="240px" autobuffer="autobuffer" autoplay="autoplay" loop="loop" controls="controls" poster="/_img/videostill.jpg">
    <source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
    <source src="video.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
</video>

Example: The example above calls two methods:
play() and pause().
It also uses three properties: paused, height and videoHeight.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<div style="text-align:center">
<button onclick="playPause()">Play/Pause</button>
<button onclick="makeBig()">Big</button>
<button onclick="makeSmall()">Small</button>
<button onclick="makeNormal()">Normal</button>
<br />
<video id="video1">
    <source src="movie1.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
    <source src="movie2.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
    Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
var myVideo=document.getElementById("video1");

function playPause()
{
if (myVideo.paused)
myVideo.play();
else
myVideo.pause();
}

function makeBig()
{
myVideo.height=(myVideo.videoHeight*2);
}

function makeSmall()
{
myVideo.height=(myVideo.videoHeight/2);
}

function makeNormal()
{
myVideo.height=(myVideo.videoHeight);
}
</script>

HTML5 - Video elements

video element

For showing a video/movie there has not been a standard on a web page.
A plug-in (like flash) shows most videos. But, different browsers have different plug-ins.
HTML5 defines a new element which specifies a standard way to embed a video/movie on a web page: the <video> element.
The control attribute adds video controls, like play, pause, and volume.

Syntax

<video width="400" height="300" controls="controls">
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
<source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

</body>
</html>
