Elements and Links

Welcome Back to the Code School Blog!

Today's Lesson was about Media Elements and Links in HTML

Code School Exit Ticket Slide

Defining some significant terms I learned today:

  • "controls" - HTML attribute that allows the user to manage their experience, i.e. adjust volume, pause/play, etc.
  • "iframe"- HTML element that opens the world of embedded content. I used it in my earlier blog, but it was interesting to find that there is a huge difference between video and iframe

Describing any processes or instructions I've received today:

Honestly, today was more about practice and additional instructional knowledge for things that pretty much made sense already.

It was interesting reading about the intricacies of metadata and finding out that each and every video player can be customized with javascript.
Also, I learned more about the process of embedding not just videos but all the interactive content on the internet.
Finally, I learned about the importance of all the attributes that can be added to media elements to customize the user experience and make the content more accessible.
