What's the difference between these two html tags, only the appearance (layout, color) is different?
<meter min="0" max="100" value="22"></meter>
<progress value="22" max="100"> </progress>
What's the difference between meter and progress ? and apparently they have the same purpose and purpose?
According to this answer in SOEn there is not much difference between use between one or another. Basically the <progress> tag is used to display the progress of a specific task (eg: inform the user about the progress of your request or task, data import, etc.), while the <meter> tag % has good use for example in displaying disk usage or the relevance of the result of a query.
See this chart where it displays the difference between them.
Though they look alike they have different purposes, let's look at:
<progress> : represents the progress of completing a task, eg uploading a file.
<meter> represents a measure, for example of disk usage , relevance of the result of a query, or the fraction of a population that voted for a particular candidate.
