Custom HTML Elements

Name: Cudder !MhMRSATORI!fR8duoqGZdD/iE5 2012-07-08 1:29

Does anyone know of any big/important sites that use custom HTML elements i.e. ones that aren't in the spec?

No, that was one of the first sites I checked.

No.

You can make <span> and <div> do anything with CSS and/or Javascript. Also the browser is optimized on the standard tags; let it do what it does best.

No.

That's what I thought. I'm not asking this because I want to use custom elements, but it might be better to think of the question as "if browsers did not support custom elements at all, are there any large and popular sites that wouldn't work?"

YouTube uses <embed>, which is non-standard.

HTML5 isn't a standard yet.

It's in proposal by the w3c which means it's most certainly to be the standard. The fact that it isn't official now doesn't mean it'll be any more of a standard when it is officially ratified.

This document may not provide accurate information as the HTML 5 specification is still actively in development.

http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html5-20120329/
Implementors should be aware that this specification is not stable. Implementors who are not taking part in the discussions are likely to find the specification changing out from under them in incompatible ways.

The document says this disclaimer because that's the nature of working non-ratified standards. In practise, what are the chances that this specific feature will be changed before it is official? I'm will to bet that the chances are very low.

It's already been implemented by all the lastest browsers. That's all that really matters.

It's a non-issue because I doubt the final standard will have over 127 elements.

I was asking about things like using <myelement> <foo> <bar> ... and not elements defined somewhere in some specification, final or not.

It's 2012, Cudder. The days of proprietary tags are over. Now it's all about MICROFORMATS.

That is mostly irrelevant to what I'm doing, I'm not making a site but just need to get what's already out there to work.
Don't change these.
