HTML5 meter element: gauge representation

min video details
00:00 video tutorial: meter element
00:05 meter element allows you to represent the result of a scalar measurement within a known range (aka a gauge)
00:10 Taking this example:
The x candidate was re-elected with a majority of 45 votes out of 60.
00:14 the range is: 0..60 (0 to 60)
00:18 the result of the scalar measurement is: 45 votes where: '45' represents the number and 'votes' represents the unit measure attached to the number
00:24 '45 out of 60' or '0.75' can be represented through meter element like this:
00:43 '45 out of 60' displays in green on the gray segment
00:50 or we can represent straight the value of 0.75 (no need to add the max attribute because its default value="1")
00:57 another example
01:00 we can use the meter element to represent the Browser usage
01:21 for each Browser, we are adding the value that will be represented on the meter
01:31 the green segments indicate the browser usage
01:38 other examples - colors/segments:
the value (0.2) can be represented on the meter in:
- green,
- yellow or
- red,
depending on the optimal segment
- if the value it's in it
- outside but next to it, or
- 1 segment away from it
