HTML5 MENU Tag Redefined

HTML5 Tag Redefined

The tag provides an easy way to create menus on a web page. The HTML element was deprecated in HTML 4.01 but is redefined in HTML5. The HTML tag defines a list/menu of commands. The tag is used for context menus, toolbars and for listing form controls and commands.

tag is used within the tag. For example:

Which pet do you own?

 

Dog

 

Cat

You can also place radio buttons and check boxes inside tags. Have a look at following simple example of tag

tag is used instead of

tag

Earlier we used to make an unordered list by using

tag like this:

 

New

 

Open

 

Save

 

Quit

But as I earlier said, is redefined in HTML5. The element represents an unordered list of commands. It has a type attribute, which can be set to popup or toolbar.

 

New

 

Open

 

Save

 

Quit

Please note: The tag is valid within blockquote, body, button, center, dd, div, fieldset, form, iframe, li, noframes, noscript, object, td and th tags.
