New HTML Elements

The: 25/01/2011 - AT: 6:03

Brugbart is now using some of the new elements of HTML, and has updated a lot of Tutorial, Article, and Reference entries.

We also posted some of the new elements of HTML, including the article element, section element and the nav element

The new elements allows us to to divide the page into sections using Semantic elements rather then div elements, which has no meaning. These elements will be supported by most browsers very soon, until then, a CSS based fix is provided which makes them work in older browsers.

header, article, section, footer, nav { /* Older browsers need this fix, to render these elements properly */
  display: block;
}

A Tutorial on the Manifest file was also posted, a file used to control cache for offline applications, or enable offline browsing of web pages.

To improve some of the older content, the CSS Tutorial was combined with the HTML Tutorial, in a new stand-alone Tutorial called: HTML and CSS Tutorial

This new Tutorial is taking a modern approach to teaching HTML and CSS as a combined tool, rather then septate tools. This will hopefully simplify things for Brugbarts users.
