A vocabulary and associated APIs for HTML and XHTML
W3C Proposed Recommendation 16 September 2014 ← 3 Semantics, structure, and APIs of HTML documents – Table of contents – 4.2 Document metadata → 4 The elements of HTML 4.1 The root element 4.1.1 Thehtml element
head element followed by a body element.
manifest — Application cache manifest
html element's start tag can be omitted if the first thing inside the html element is not a comment.
html element's end tag can be omitted if the html element is not immediately followed by a comment.
interface HTMLHtmlElement : HTMLElement {};
The html element represents the root of an HTML document.
Authors are encouraged to specify a lang attribute on the root html element, giving the document's language. This aids speech synthesis tools to determine what pronunciations to use, translation tools to determine what rules to use, and so forth.
The manifest attribute gives the address of the document's application cache manifest, if there is one. If the attribute is present, the attribute's value must be a valid non-empty URL potentially surrounded by spaces.
The manifest attribute only has an effect during the early stages of document load. Changing the attribute dynamically thus has no effect (and thus, no DOM API is provided for this attribute).
For the purposes of application cache selection, later base elements cannot affect the resolving of relative URLs in manifest attributes, as the attributes are processed before those elements are seen.
The window.applicationCache IDL attribute provides scripted access to the offline application cache mechanism.
The html element in the following example declares that the document's language is English.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>Swapping Songs</title> </head> <body> <h1>Swapping Songs</h1> <p>Tonight I swapped some of the songs I wrote with some friends, who gave me some of the songs they wrote. I love sharing my music.</p> </body> </html>
