meter fallback content ⁄meter
The fallback content on the meter element
- represents the content inside the meter element, that will be displayed ONLY by those Browsers that do not support the meter element
- it is recommended to provide fallback content for the meter element since there are browsers that don't yet support it
Example fallback content
| <meter | attribute | = | "attribute_value(s)" | > | ... | <⁄meter> | example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| fallback content | <> fallback content <⁄> |

| 00:00 | video tutorial: fallback content on meter element |
| 00:06 | the content inside the meter element represents fallback content and it is displayed by Browsers that do not support the meter element |
| 00:12 | for the moment, there's no content inside the meter element (between the start tag and the end tag) |
| 00:18 | test in 2 browsers: 1. Mozilla Firefox19: supports the meter element 2. Internet Explorer9: does not support the meter element |
| 00:31 | FF: the length of the green bar indicates browser's usage |
| 00:37 | IE9: nothing indicates browser's usage |
| 00:41 | we will add corresponding fallback content inside each meter element |
| 00:53 | the fallback content does not display in Firefox because meter element is supported |
| 00:55 | the fallback content displays in IE9 because meter element is NOT supported |
| 00:58 | providing fallback content for meter element is recommended! |
