Answer 1

A:

There's no html 5 tag such as "wrapper", but there are "section" etc. Check out this website for a more clean explanation: http://jackosborne.co.uk/articles/html5-wrapper/

Yea I'm aware of the new elements. Just wasn't 100% sure on whether you could create your own elements which you can but obviously they won't validate.

Answer 2

A:

There is no wrapper element, but you can use div or even body as a wrapper.

You are not understanding the question. I'm completely aware that I can use a div but I came across the createElement technique and was curious to why it doesn't validate.

Daryl 2010-10-13 23:37:31

It doesn't validate because it is not in the spec. The "createElement technique" is used to force IE to style unknown elements, and as such has nothing to do with the spec.

Answer 3

A:

As pointed out there is no element "wrapper"

what you more than likley thinking of is a wrapper div, witch is used to predefine a wrapper context for you page.

What you want to do is like so:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title></title>
        <style>#wrapper { width:100%; height:100%; display:block }</style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <siv id="wrapper">

       </wrapper>
    </body>
</html>

Just a note, This has nothing to do with html5, its available in all HTML versions

Wrappers are mainly used for design purposes and is not compulsory when building web pages, but I would advise you use one so that you can set the best width for your client, and also specifically align your content within the body!

Yea I'm fully aware of previous HTML tags but i wasnt sure to whether you could create your own tags via document.createElement('tag'); which 'is possible' but was unsure to why it doesnt validate.
