Semantic Slideshow with HTML5 Tags

Postby Type-Style » Tue Dec 28, 2010 10:27 am

Hi there,

I want to build a Slideshow that operates with javascript of course.
You can click and you will see the next picture nothing fancy about that.

So below that there are a few numbers that represent the pages and images you can click on.
I don't worry about the functionality.

But what I do care about is these numbers below.
They need to be anchors thats fore sure but I want to group them and now I am wondering what should I use to do so?

Here is a Picture of an example:

This images is from http://8faces.com and they build something like that.


I want to use HTML5 in as many way as I could so started looking for tags that can help me.
The first thing that popped in my mind was the menu-tag.
But then I read something about that it is connected to from elements.
So I decided not to use it.
Therefore I am now experimenting with the meter-tag.
The Code I am using right now is:
Code: Select all
<meter min="1" max="10" value="1" id="meter">
         <ul>
          <li><a href="#Galerie1" class="active">1</a></li>
          <li><a href="#Galerie2">2</a></li>
          <li><a href="#Galerie3">3</a></li>
       ...
        </ul>     
  </meter>


So what is the best way to build something like that?
I want to give a non visual user more than just 10 anchors in a row.

Thanks in advance!

I'd recommend against <meter> since it would replace the links with a guage widget. Just use a plain old <ul> or even <p>.
