What are H5 and JS used for?

H5 is responsible for the web page structure, defining the location and display methods of elements such as titles, paragraphs, pictures, etc. JS provides interactive and dynamic effects of web pages, handling user events, modifying content and styles. H5 and JS complement each other to jointly build a modern web page with rich features and strong interactiveness.

What are H5 and JS used for? Simply put, H5 is the canvas and JS is the brush. But this is too rough, we have to dig deeper.

H5, also known as HTML5, is essentially the structural framework of web pages. Imagine building a house. H5 is an architectural drawing that defines the skeleton of the web page: the title, paragraph, pictures, video and other elements are under the control of H5. It specifies the location, size, relationship of these elements, and how they are presented in the browser. Without H5, the web pages you see are just a bunch of garbled codes and cannot be formed at all. It's more like a stage, providing a venue for JS's performances. Don't underestimate this "stage". The evolution of H5 has brought many new features, such as semantic tags (making it easier for machines to understand web page content), canvas (for drawing graphics), video and audio (for convenient multimedia playback), and geolocation APIs, etc., which greatly enrich the expressiveness and functions of web pages. But H5 itself cannot achieve complex interactive and dynamic effects, it only provides the infrastructure.

JS, that is, JavaScript, is the real "brush". It gives web pages vitality and moves the static H5 structure. The cool animations, form verification, asynchronous loading, page jumping, etc. on the web pages you see are almost all due to JS. It can operate DOM (document object model), which is the web page structure built by H5, and can dynamically modify web page content, style and behavior. In addition, JS can also handle user interactions, such as responding to mouse clicks, keyboard inputs and other events. It can also communicate with the server, obtain and send data, and achieve dynamic update of web page content.

To put it bluntly, H5 is responsible for "what is" and JS is responsible for "what is done". H5 defines the content and structure of a web page, while JS controls the behavior and interaction of a web page. Only by cooperating with each other can they build a modern web page with rich features and strong interaction.

For example, you see a product carousel picture on an e-commerce website. H5 is responsible for building a carousel picture frame (such as creating a container with <div> tag and displaying the picture with the <code><img alt="What are H5 and JS used for?" > tag), while JS is responsible for controlling the automatic switching of the picture, pausing playback, mouse hover effect, etc. of the picture.

Of course, this is just the most basic understanding. In practical applications, the combination of H5 and JS is much more complicated than this. The semantic tags of H5 can improve SEO effects, while the asynchronous loading of JS can improve web page loading speed. In the process of learning H5 and JS, you may encounter various pitfalls. For example, cross-domain issues of JS, differences in support of JS by different browsers, and performance optimization, etc. Remember, the elegance of the code is not only reflected in functional implementation, but also in maintainability, readability and performance. A good programmer can write concise, efficient and easy-to-understand code instead of pile up a pile of difficult-to-maintain code. Therefore, only by learning more about the code of excellent open source projects, thinking more, and practicing more can we become a real programming master.

Finally, a piece of code in my personal style shows the simple combination of H5 and JS:

 <code class="html">   <title>H5 & JS Demo</title> <style> #myDiv { width: 200px; height: 100px; background-color: lightblue; } </style>   <div id="myDiv">Click me!</div> <script> const myDiv = document.getElementById("myDiv"); myDiv.addEventListener("click", function() { myDiv.style.backgroundColor = &#39;lightgreen&#39;; myDiv.textContent = "Clicked!"; }); </script>  </code>

This code is simple, but it perfectly shows how H5 ( <div> tag) and JS (JavaScript code) work together: H5 builds a simple blue box, and JS adds a click event, making the box turn green after clicking and displays "Clicked!". This is just the tip of the iceberg, and real H5 and JS applications are much more exciting than this.</div>
