<!DOCTYPE html> <!-- HTML5 is the latest evolution of standards that defines HTML. --> <!-- The best way to specify language in HTML5. --> <html lang="en"> <head> <!-- This is easier to type, and remember than http-equiv. --> <meta charset="utf-8"> <!-- If you want to add more METAs, just know not to go overboard with them. They're not relied on a lot nowadays. I do suggest still using a few of them though, like "charset." --> <!-- Stylesheets prohibit progressive rendering until they're all downloaded. Keep them inside the HEAD to eliminate this problem. NEVER apply CSS in-line internally, always externally. Drop the 'type' attribute in HTML5 for optimization. --> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style\"> <link rel="icon" href="image\"> <!-- Appears on the tab in the browser. --> <title></title> <!-- As you may or may not have already realized, HTML5 isn't supported in older versions of internet explorer. To compensate for this, you should use html5shiv to add support to HTML5. The code used to do this, will only work inside the HEAD, however. And for performance sake, this should go after the CSS. --> <!--[if lt IE 9]> <script src="dist/html5shiv.js"></script> <![endif]--> </head> <!-- Use class instead of id whenever possible. Id have more "weight" than class when it comes to applying styles. This can prevent some CSS classes applied on elements inside the container from working properly. --> <body><div class="container"> <!-- Despite the addition of new elements that justifably captures a lot of DIV's territory, you can still use them. The best practice is to use DIVs when there is no other more semantically appropiate element that suits your purpoe. --> <header> <hgroup> <h1>Title</h1> <h2>Slogan</h2> </hgroup> </header> <!-- In CSS, don't do: nav ul { } Instead, you should do: #navigation { } But you can still do: header { } if you need only one. Reduce those HTTP Request! --> <nav><ul class="navigation"> <!-- All text inside a HTML element should be lowercase to make it easier to read. --> <li class="active"><a href="home.html">Home</a></li> <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li> <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> </ul></nav> <div class="main"> <!-- Why would I use ARTICLE when it should be SECTION instead? From the specs, doing that isn't the true, intended purpose of that element. --> <article> <!-- Utilize :first-child, :last-child and :nth-child to get non-classed elements for CSS. --> <hgroup> <h1>Title</h1> <h3>Author</h3> </hgroup> <!-- Don't do this: <p>Message <p>Message You should close those tags. --> <p>Message</p> <p>Message</p> <p>Message</p> <footer>Date</footer> </article> </div> <footer>Copyright</footer> <!-- Scripts prevents progressive rendering, parallel downloads for all content below. Move them to the bottom for faster page loading. JQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library. "Write less, do more." --> <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <!-- You'll need a fallback for when the website you're retrieving JQuery from, fails. There are other ways to do this than the one I'm coding here (protocol-less URLS). --> <script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="js/jquery-2.0.0.min.js">\x3C/script>')</script> <!-- Finally, always comment your code. You'll be suprised at how much faster you'll from it. --> </div></body> </html>
