Teach Yourself Visually HTML5 by Mike Wooldridge
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book steps through the new features of HTML5, including many new elements for more semantic markup, better forms, audio and video, and canvas. There's also a section on using JavaScript with HTML5. The text is augmented by code snippets and screenshots. The book does a decent job with the how, but it doesn't spend much time on the why; I wish it included more best practices and tips.
HTML5 elements
- Use the <meter> element to display a value within a range.
- To make multiple links on a page open in the same tab/window, use the same target value for the links.
- To make a text area read-only, add the readonly attribute within the <textarea> tag.
- Create date and time inputs with <input type="?">, where the value is "month", "week", "date", or "time".
- Prevent a text box from autocompleting with autocomplete="off".
- Create a range slider with <input type="range">.
- To make a field required, add the required attribute to the <input> tag.
- To add a placeholder to a field, add the placeholder="?" attribute to the <input> tag, where the value is the placeholder text.

I bought the book, Visually Teach Yourself HTML5, ; however, I haven't been able to use only three of the M an B Adventure Travel images while creating web pages with it. How can I download the rest of the images so that I can use them.
Please advise, Thank you.
Jose, I didn't write or publish the book, so I can't help you directly. It looks like there are some resources on the author's site and on the publisher's site. If you still can't find what you're looking for, please contact the author or publisher.
