In this lesson we focus on additional HTML5 tags that make forms, layouts, and structured content more powerful and user-friendly. You’ll see how <input type="file">
lets users upload files, and how <progress>
and <meter>
show visual indicators like task completion or measurable values. We’ll also work with <datalist>
, which provides users with suggested options as they type in a form.
For document structure, we’ll learn the semantic elements <section>
, <header>
, and <footer>
— essential for organizing content into meaningful blocks. We’ll also explore <figure>
and <figcaption>
, perfect for pairing images or diagrams with descriptive captions.
Finally, we’ll practice using <time>
for marking dates and times in machine-readable format, and the interactive <details>
and <summary>
tags, which allow users to expand and collapse content.
By the end of this class, you’ll know how to combine these tags to create richer, more semantic, and more interactive HTML5 web pages.
