I'm a C# dev who doesn't do too much front-end work. However, there is something about Kyle's content and delivery that is very enjoyable. He speaks so clearly and has a great approach to teaching new things.
yeah same, I agree
Agreed fantastic teacher,!
sweet humble brag bro
concise, informative and to the point
Agreed, good video dude! And some interesting stuff too!
datalist blew my mind. I've been a developer for a long time and did not know this existed. thanks Kyle!
Same here. I'll be throwing out most of my js autocomplete scripts now
Ui
datalist isn't shown in most tutorials since you rely again on user input that has to be validated. select is the way to go, datalist is useless
you can't style them as you want with CSS and that's one of the main reasons it's underrated.
@@TheLegendaryShow thanks that makes sense
this man dove deep into the documentation and emerged to tell us what he found
We need a tutorial on all information on meta tags
I second this!
Yes!
yes and no. I found that most of the time when you need to do something you can always get the answer off google. hence why there isn't much of these but yeah i'm def' not complaining as it def' clear things up a lot faster!
Agreed
@@KeepLearing it's more of a clear showcase, it brings more attention and ideas to unused tags
Nice to see and get some love. They've been around since at least HTML 3.2. (FYI, they're sort for "subscript" and "superscript".) I really liked the tag. I think that might be just what I need for one of my projects.
Aye, Template is a neat little addition. At work we're using server-side-rendering but want to display one particular section dynamically in a way that requires ajax requests with almost regular pings to the data-endpoint for more data. Given that I need to render a bunch of HTML via JS without access to a front-end-framework it is incredibly neat to be able to write this blueprint in html first and modify from there.
@@isofruitfruit9357 Wouldn't it be the same with just div + id?
@@She1lby If you added a CSS rule that applies a "display:none" rule, I believe it might. Though you should also give id's to your templates to be able to differentiate them properly of course, if you have multiple. The great part about "template" is, that it is more easily understandable. You can have a section at the end of your HTML and just by looking at the name of the tag you can understand that. With the div you'd first need to read the tag name, read the class attribute, see the CSSclass that applies display none, realize it applies a display none rule and conclude from that that it's a template, maybe. With the template tag, communicating the intent for what it's there for is just simpler.
Honestly I was like, "wait, people don't know and ?"
I teached one of my friends html and sub and sup were 2 of thoae things I teached them
OG stands for "original gangsta" and you won't convince my brain to read those meta tags in any other way. 😂
XDD true
😂😂😂
yeah we don't mess with the original tags bruh. its like showing up to gun fight with a slinky.
@@aidanzyaire1780 damn that sounds toxic y’all should just break up
Looooooooool
Good to know I’m not the only developer riddled with Webflow ads.
ikr lmfao
Lmao
I'm just sitting here clawing at my arm thinking "CLOSE THAT H5 TAG FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!"
But wow! I didn't know a lot of these things. Color picker is cool.
If only I had known about the tag before, It could've saved me a few hundred lines of html in my Javascript code.
I might be mistaken but could you not just have used a normal div with a hidden parameter like . The only difference is you have to set hidden=false after you created the node.
fyi Vue framework use that a lot
@@KangJangkrik just noticed it. I thought it was some kind of Vue voodoo magic 🤣🤣
@@tochimclaren magic is just an unknown science :)
@@KangJangkrik lol I genuinely thought it was a vue component
After watching this i successfully rewrote an entire component of mine using datalist and it’s so much easier to read! Thanks for always delivering awesome content.
I've used a few times. Really useful for putting the st / nd / rd / th into 1st 2nd 3rd 4th etc. (The "superscript ordinals").
Kyle, I have 20+ years as a Web Dev... You are very talented Sir, thank you. You get to the point quickly and explain easily so I do not need to search elsewhere when refreshing materials. Thank you again.
Well, most of them are new, but and are basics if you started learning HTML back when CSS wasn't that widespread.
The picture tag was like gold for me
Thanks for your nice work, Kyle
One of the biggest things I have to say about watching this video (and other videos) is the fact that Kyle points out how the usage of these different elements affect screen readers. Thank you for being such a big advocate of Accessibility and making sure that we are experienced (or myself as a novice) Front End Developers are making sure that we consider Accessibility in our design and development more.
As a side note, if you haven't already done so, it might be interesting to compile a list of these different items and how Front End Developers can use them to help in making our sites more accessible.
Dude, I love your channel! You know why? Sometimes I have something to work out. Some things we just don't know where and how to find a solution. And your channel just appear with the perfect solution. Thanks man!
That template tag is so awesome! I am definitely going to use it in my projects!
Sub and Sup are pretty old school, learned those when I got into HTML (3.2 was the standard at that time), but the datalist is quite impressive! Wish they'd let us style form elements better
That is exactly the reason why I don't use datalist and similar options: they are very hard to style properly and consistently.
You could use a stylesheet and add a class to the form element then add an individual class attribute to each element within the form and style individually but to be honest I am only a learner so some may have a more efficient solution 😅
I think you forgot about
Marquee tag is used for moving text
We can control marquee from the following attribute
Behaviour= controles the behavior
(Scroll,slide, alternative)
Scrollamount controls speed
(Max value is 50)
Direction controls direction
(Up,down,left,right)
That tag was deprecated dude
😅
I see the last video did great for you about what almost nobody knows. Numbers don't lie. Appreciate you Kyle. See you soon!
Thanks. I actually had this video recorded before even releasing the last video video, but since they did so well I already am working on a part 2 for the JS video since I had around 15 items listed originally when making the first video.
@@WebDevSimplified I figured it did well. These formats always seem to catch on. Nice when you find something that sticks. Definitely interesting and looking forward to seeing more!
@@WebDevSimplified why dont you have an instagram??
I recently discovered the word break tag in combination with the soft hyphen "" which is fantastic when you need absolute control of where a word breaks -- with a lot of compound words like in German, this is sometimes super important. But for an easy example, if you were tight on space you could break down "cowboy" with "cowboy" so when a flex wraps it breaks thusly:
cow-
boy
And the soft hyphen of course only inserts a hyphen when the word breaks.
Modern HTML 5 is so much better than what we had to deal with in the old days, I tell ya
Actually, only one of them is necessary. is a word break opportunity, and you can do neat stuff with it in RTL text, but adding hypnenation opportunities can be done with just .
is another underrated tag.
I knew i wasnt hallucinating
Hi ! I just discovered your video on RUclips. As a beginner and passionate of coding (HTML, CSS and JavaScript) I really love to see your movie and how simply you have been explaining some useful HTML tags. Like how to write the chemical formula of water (H2O) and others. Briefly how to write something with the exponentiation mark. Also learning how to create and sizing the progress button tag, creating forms with the divs and stocking data and especially the og (Open Graph) system of stocking data between the .... tag, all those learnings have been useful for me. Thank you so much. Sorry for my poor english because I am a Franco but trying to get improved in english and then be able to more understand coding. Be blessed for what you are doing and sharing your knowledges. I appreciated.
I use the template tag when i deal with arrays of objects. You can do a forEach loop or map over the array and for each object clone the template and set the content.
Thank you! I've just picked up a 15 year old PHP medical web app that needs to be updated. Your type=time tip caught me at the exact moment I needed it. Great content! :-)
My OCD cannot handle that you didn’t close off that H5 tag...
XD
I used to write xhtml and not closing his h5 was giving me migrains.
same, so I reported him
LOL same here
@Eris Socratou lol tag doesn't close
These tags seemed to be pretty useful. I will definitely try them out. Thanks Kyle ❤️
Thanks for this overview! I already knew most of them, but not the datalist one. It looks very promising!
Geez Louise - you just changed my life significantly !!! Wow !!! Thaaaaaank you !!!
The tag looks very promising and indeed more useful than templates in PHP or JS. Thanks for sharing!
I did not know about the picture and template tags, quite useful thanks!
I remember when I found out about the picture tag.... I was amazed on how much it saved time and make everything more clean and faster
Your videos always show me new things man keep up the good work 👌🏼
This might be my favorite of your videos yet.
This is an excellent video! I am very happy about the existence of the "progress" element.
Datalist is exactly what I want. I was looking on mdn yesterday for this exact thing but couldn't find it. Cheers dude.
I have wasted so many hours coding the stuff for which I could have easily used html can u upload more content like these
Quick additional one for the comment section:
this text is wrapped with quotes
And because it's a HTML tag, it changes based off of what your localisation is.
Now, there are 2 KYLEs ruling Web.
You were awesome as always. 😊
Thanks Kyle
Keep on uploading more such videos, This one was of immense use.
That sub , sup and datalist actually could’ve saved my bacon so much times 😂😂 , amount of times I made my own tag called little for the one which goes above in h20 and used absolute to position 🤦♂️🤦♂️. Kyle honestly these are immense , cheers man 🤝
Great video Kyle! Just came across your channel for the first time today and subscribed. What text editor are you using?
omg, the algorithms are so smart!! How does it know to give me this video?!! I've literally just finished all my studies for software development and now I have to do the test which consist of 40 random multiples questions out of 120 and mainly based on front end (HTML and CSS). I don't know why HTML and CSS as I am actually more back end based on programming languages. But yeah i have no choice but to pass it anyway. i get unlimited practices where most of these came up!! I'm so glad I found videos like these but TBH front ends are definitely easier than back end. Guess you could say it's good to know both!
I didn't know some of these tags. Thanks very much for this tutorial.
Kinda proud I've used all of them except for datalist in the past. Once I mastered that one as well, I can finally put "HTML Programming Expert" on my resumee 😎
Actually taught this Old Dog some new tricks! very good video
Super useful stuff! I saved it to my reference videos :)
Great content! I really like Fieldset, Datalist and Templates! Please make more videos like this one. Valuable!
This was actually incredibly informative. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏆
Datalist blew my mind! Thanks for this video
is pronounced the same as “soup” because it is short for “superscript.” Likewise, is named after subscript.
Inspired by your work and the way you explain things...
now I have the mega scene to surprise my teachers, THIS IS MEGA HELPFUL
Nice one!
Loving your tips
I knew about fieldset and legend but datalist was completely new to me. Thanks!
This channel is crazy good
Very informative, I didn’t know about a some of those. Thank you!
Thanks for this video bro! It really helps me a lot, I learned a new knowledge about HTML and I will surely use those tags to my future projects.
I used some tag in my code but I completely understand after watched this video
Thanks Kyle
Great piece of knowledge...thanks...and happy to see more upcoming videos
This is great for accessibility! (Fieldset and Legend)
Since I work in accessibility I used these all the time including others that most developers don’t use. Because most developers use just what is needed and JavaScript. Html5 has a great bunch of features as well as the from element types. Meta tags work just like meta data and I have used them all the time when developing for Wordpress but you have to be careful of how you use them when in comes to accessibility because it can impact how the page is parsed and read. Being around development for almost 20 years there are a ton of tags I have seen or used that most developers probably has or never will use.
Oh the template tag is neat. I used that in a form editor where a user can create his own form by clicking it together and I basically used this exact thing u showcase, but because i didn't know about the template tag, I used regular divs with style display none ^^
Thank you for existing
Thank you a lot for this video. I have some kind of frustration about tags to use on my test pages. With all the stuff you have shown I already made something to work with/
Well done dude, awesome tricks
I really like your videos. It is impressive that you can make coding so entertaining.
Great one man! As always
The template tag is awesome I needed that functionality but didn't know what to use .. Thanks
This is awesome stuff, thank you very much!
This is really helpful thank you so much for this video ❤️
Btw in your template section the text you typed was this:
This is a template
Hi
But your last h5 code line wasn't with a /
html sometimes renders weirdly. Don't worry about it, man.
Just focus on the CONECPT and EXPLANATION.
Were awesome by Kyle.
There's always one... I'm checking out your tutorials HP... Oh wait you don't have any
I also noticed that!
HTML is a markup language. The syntax doesn't need to be perfect in this small example lol
@@ChrisAthanas o wait, mabey I HAVE to make video on things EVERY html RUclipsr made something on called don't say something is wrong while you are making a mistake yourself, even tho it's a small mistake
Thanks, Kyle. I was under the impression that legend and fieldset were phased out with HTML5. Haven't used either in a long time.
I've known about all those for many years now. Back when I was starting to learn web development I went through each and every element on MDN, and all but picture were there at the time.
I think and are the elements too few developers know about.
Was just about to write a comment about the details tag (`details>summary` if emmet's there), but here you did it long time ago. Greetings!
Templates are an integral of Salesforce development. Thanks for the showing how they are used outside that proprietary context!
11:14 how you add in shortcut?
If I'm right, its Ctrl + /
Edit: I tested here and its Ctrl + ; to me
Very useful content. Thanks, Kyle!
Great video! Thank you!
YOU ARE A LEGEND BRO!
You are awesome! Very nice video and explanations as usual 🙂
This is great information, Kyle.
BTW, you didn't run an ASMR channel in a previous life did you?
Great Tips.Thank you
As an 18 years embedded system engineer, I find these front end tutorial fascinating since I always have trouble working with them.
Thanks helps me a lot!
Really awesome video. But the picture tag you have to look at another time. Picture is for different images for different formats, like portrait for mobile and landscape for desktop. The img tag also supports srcSet and that is for automatic resolution switching. Like 100x200 for mobile and the same image 500x1000 for desktop.
I needed this thank you :)
Great video, thanks!
Keep it up bro and thank you!!!!
Thank you so much..by far, I love your video most ❤❤❤
Thank you! Very useful info!
Thank you - very helpful :)
Nice video bro I've learned a lot more here
Hi Kyle thanks for making so much efforts for us
This was great. Cheers Kyle
Your video is so helpful, thank you
This was mind blowing
Remember that you should use FOR/ID to link the label to the form field. Explicit links will help screen readers, they aren’t that good at implying the labels from DOM position.
this is first sited man who are fully normal person i meen not blind but u care about screen reader things thanks so much friend
Wow, thanks for this! I’m seeing notes that some of these tags are necessary supported across browsers. A great follow-up video could be detailing what works where...or we could do it the old-fashioned way and learn trial end error 😄
I'm pretty sure all the elements listed in this video have very good browser support. You can use the site caniuse.com to check the most up to date information on this
@@WebDevSimplified thanks so much!
Super Useful Video
5 years experience working in the field. Template, is absolutely vital and so is fieldset - template is especially good for vue. Picture is nice-to-know but you can get by without it, especially in your first 5 years. Datalist is great for accessibility but obnoxious to style. I think I've seen legend (seen, not used) once, and sub is completely new to me! Now to watch the video...
