This is the kind of arrangement we will adopt for our pages during this course. In this setup, the header can typically embrace a “nav” element with the web site navigation menu. “header” and “footer” belong/refer to the element they are contained into, their parent.Īs used in the figure, the header is the header of the whole page and so is the footer, which is absolutely fine and correct. The meaning of the various elements in figure 3-8-1 is actually broader than what you might infer from the figure. Please note that since all the elements illustrated in figure 3-8-1 are block elements, having the aside to the right of the article(s) block necessarily requires styling with CSS.
#FOOTER CONTACT BAR CSS CODE#
The scaffold code for a page like the one in figure 3-8-1 could be as follows: Without, your page will still validate fine as HTML5. You may decide to use only one or a few of these tags in your pages, or maybe none.

They can help improving the semantics of your web pages/website. It should be pointed out that none of these new tags are required or mandatory in HTML5. HTML5 section, aside, header, nav, footer elements – Not as obvious as they sound Figure 3-8-1: HTML 5 tags header, footer, nav, article, section, aside, a first glance (warning, could be partially misleading, see text) HTML structural elements – contains an interesting comparison between HTML4 and HTL5. Here are some links to articles where these HTML5 elements are discussed: With these warnings in mind figure 3-8-1 is a good starting point for getting familiar with these elements.

Therefore the position of the elements as shown in the figure is just a graphical possibility that fits well with the semantics of the elements, which could very well be respected and represented by an entirely different graphical arrangement. As it happens in HTML5 though, these tags are not there to indicate an element physical position on the page, but rather the nature/meaning of the element contents. The next figure illustrates the “simple” or “expected”, more immediate meaning of these tag elements. The names of the footer, header, nav, article, section and aside elements are indeed suggestive of their role/meaning, which is however a bit more subtle, flexible and articulated than it might be expected. To keep things as simple as possible to start with and avoid concepts overcrowding, we have deliberately omitted the discussion about these elements in the previous HTML markup section.Īlthough we will not use all these elements during this course, you should still be familiar with them as you might want to use them for your projects and/or might encounter them in somebody else’s code that you plan to use. In this page, we will use some of the semantic tags specifically introduced in HTML5 and described below.

In the next section we will create a simple HTML5 web page, yet more articulated and complete than the minimal page presented here and then style it.
