  7. HTML: The Language of the Web • Web pages are text files, written in a language called Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). • HTML tells the browser how to display the page • HTML can be displayed using a web browser. • Different browsers may interpret this code differently (according to their defaults) and display the page differently. • Look at your web page using different browsers like Microsoft Internet Explorer, FireFox etc.

  8. HTML • HTML has a set of rules, called syntax. • syntax are a set of standards or specifications developed by a consortium of Web developers, programmers, and authors called the World Wide Web Consortium (WC3) • Simple web pages are often saved as “.html” or “.htm” extension.

  9. Where to Write HTML? • We generally use an HTML editor (e.g. FrontPage, Dream Weaver) to create a web page. Importance of HTML still exists because, • Often editors add extra code that we want to delete. Knowing HTML allows us to know what we should keep and what is unnecessary. • HTML Code can be written using simple notepad

  10. A Simple Notepad File HTML Code can be written here

  11. Saving HTML Code

  12. Save Steps Select Directory Type Name of web page, with the extension .html Select File Type as “All Files”

  13. HTML Page Format <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Computing web! </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H1> Hello World </H1> <! Rest of page goes here. This is a comment. > </BODY> </HTML> 13

  15. HTML Tags • An HTML document has two elements, content and tags • The content is what you want the user to see • The tags are the HTML code that tells the browser how to display the content • Most opening tags need a closing one but there are a few exceptions. • <HTML> …… </HTML> • Tags may be either uppercase or lowercase.

  16. Basic Tags • Every HTML document has the following tags: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> This is displayed in the blue bar</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> The content of your document </BODY> </HTML>

  17. Header Tags • There are 6 sizes of Headers, H1 is the largest and H6 is the smallest. All are in larger and more prominent font than regular text. Syntax is: <H1> Welcome to the Course </H1> Will be displayed

  18. Alignment • You can align your text to the left, center, or right. The default is left. <H2 align = center> Wednesday</H2> prints the word “Wednesday” in the center of the line.

  19. Alignment of Text -Example

  20. Right Click on the browser Click on View Source View The HTML Code

  21. Code View

  22. Paragraphs • <p> begins a paragraph and </p> ends it. • You can omit </p> and just use <p> to create another paragraph. • <p> leaves a line between paragraphs. • <p> computing and </p><p>programming</p> “computing and” on one line, then leaves a line blank and “programming” on the next.

  23. <br> tag • <br> moves you to the next line • <p>Computing for management<br>Course Introduction</p> puts “Computing for management” on one line and “Course Introduction” on the next. • Note that <br> has no closing tag.

  24. Lists • There are three types of lists, unordered, ordered, and definition • An unordered list is a bulleted list, the <ul> tag is used, and <li> indicates each list element. </li> is optional: <ul type = option> <li> the first thing <li> the second thing </ul> Option may be ‘circle”, “square” or “disc”

  25. Ordered Lists • An ordered list has the <ol> tag, each list element has the <li> tag. <ol type = “1”> <li> The first thing <li> The second thing </ol> will display as: • The first thing • The second thing Option may be “1”, “a”, “A”, “i”, or “I”

  26. A definition list is a list of terms followed by their definition.The definition appears on the next line, and is offset. <dl> <dt>Junior<dd> a third year student <dt>Senior<dd>a fourth year student </dl> Will display as: Junior a third year student Senior a fourth year student

  30. <img src = website.gif>

  31. Tables <TABLE> table tag <CAPTION> optional table title <TR> table row <TH> table column header <TD> table data element 34

  32. Tables • <TABLE BORDER=1> • <CAPTION>Table Caption</CAPTION> • <TR><TH>Heading1</TH> <TH>Heading2</TH></TR> • <TR><TD>Row1 Col1 Data</TD><TD>Row1 Col2 Data</TD></TR> • <TR><TD>Row2 Col1 Data</TD><TD>Row2 Col2 Data</TD></TR> • <TR><TD>Row3 Col1 Data</TD><TD>Row3 Col2 Data</TD></TR> • </TABLE> 35

  33. <TABLE> Element Attributes ALIGN=position -- left, center, right for table BORDER=number -- width in pixels of border (including any cell spacing, default 0) CELLSPACING=number -- spacing in pixels between cells, default about 3 CELLPADDING=number -- space in pixels between cell border and table element, default about 1 WIDTH=number[%]-- width in pixels or percentage of page/frame width 37

  34. cellspacing=10 cellpadding=10 38

  35. <TR> Table Row Attributes Valid for the table row: ALIGN -- left, center, right VALIGN -- top, middle, bottom BGCOLOR -- background color <TABLE ALIGN="center" WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="200"> <TR ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" BGCOLOR="red"><TD>One</TD><TD>Two</TD> <TR ALIGN="center" VALIGN="middle" BGCOLOR="lightblue"><TD>Three</TD><TD>Four</TD> <TR ALIGN="right" VALIGN="bottom" BGCOLOR="yellow"><TD>Five</TD><TD>Six</TD> </TABLE>

  36. Hypertext links Used to, • Point to a different section on the same page • Point to a different web page • Point to a variety of different web objects

  37. Links within the same page • First we need to mark the destination text with an anchor • This is done by putting <a href=“#name”> before the destination text, and </a> after • In this example name is the name of the anchor

  38. Hyperlinks • Then we need to create a link, identifying the anchor that goes with this link • < a href=“#name”>Classes</a> • Now when a user clicks on this link he will be directed to the anchor and the destination text • Note that the # is NOT optional

  39. Linking to Another Web Page <a href= “contact.htm”>Contact me </a> produces the text “Contact me” identified as a link Clicking on this link will send the user to the page contact.htm In this example contact.htm MUST be in the same folder as the original web page

  40. Linking Suppose the link is on your page which is located in the folder C:\Homework, but the page you want to link to is located in C:\labwork\temp You must now create the link by writing <a href= “C:\labwork\temp\contact.htm”> Contact me </a>

  41. Link to other documents on the internet <a href = http://www.ciit.edu.pk> CIIT website</a> If you want it to open in a different window: <a href=“url” target = window>hypertext</a>
