HTML Example

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h1>My First Heading</h1> <p>My first paragraph.</p> </body> </html>

_________________________________________________________________________________

Step 1: Start Notepad


To start Notepad go to: Start All Programs Accessories Notepad

Step 2: Edit Your HTML with Notepad


Type your HTML code into your Notepad:

Step 3: Save Your HTML


Select Save as.. in Notepad's file menu. When you save an HTML file, you can use either the .htm or the .html file extension. There is no difference, it is entirely up to you. Save the file in a folder that is easy to remember, like w3schools.

Step 4: Run the HTML in Your Browser


Start your web browser and open your html file from the File, Open menu, or just browse the folder and double-click your HTML file. The result should look much like this:

HTML Headings
HTML headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags.

Example
<h1>This is a heading</h1> <h2>This is a heading</h2> <h3>This is a heading</h3>
Try it yourself

HTML Paragraphs
HTML paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag.

Example
<p>This is a paragraph.</p> <p>This is another paragraph.</p>

Try it yourself

HTML Links
HTML links are defined with the <a> tag.

Example
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com">This is a link</a>
Try it yourself Note: The link address is specified in the href attribute. (You will learn about attributes in a later chapter of this tutorial).

HTML Images
HTML images are defined with the <img> tag.

Example
<img src="w3schools.jpg" width="104" height="142">

HTML Elements
An HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag: Start tag * Element content End tag *

<p>

This is a paragraph

</p>

<a href="default.htm"> <br>

This is a link

</a>

* The start tag is often called the opening tag. The end tag is often called the closing tag.

HTML Element Syntax


An HTML element starts with a start tag / opening tag An HTML element ends with an end tag / closing tag The element content is everything between the start and the end tag Some HTML elements have empty content Empty elements are closed in the start tag Most HTML elements can have attributes

Tip: You will learn about attributes in the next chapter of this tutorial.

Nested HTML Elements


Most HTML elements can be nested (can contain other HTML elements). HTML documents consist of nested HTML elements.

HTML Document Example


<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <p>This is my first paragraph.</p> </body> </html>
The example above contains 3 HTML elements.

HTML Example Explained


The <p> element:

<p>This is my first paragraph.</p>


The <p> element defines a paragraph in the HTML document. The element has a start tag <p> and an end tag </p>. The element content is: This is my first paragraph. The <body> element:

<body> <p>This is my first paragraph.</p> </body>


The <body> element defines the body of the HTML document. The element has a start tag <body> and an end tag </body>. The element content is another HTML element (a p element). The <html> element:

<html> <body> <p>This is my first paragraph.</p> </body> </html>


The <html> element defines the whole HTML document. The element has a start tag <html> and an end tag </html>. The element content is another HTML element (the body element).

Don't Forget the End Tag


Some HTML elements might display correctly even if you forget the end tag:

<p>This is a paragraph <p>This is a paragraph

The example above works in most browsers, because the closing tag is considered optional. Never rely on this. Many HTML elements will produce unexpected results and/or errors if you forget the end tag .

Empty HTML Elements


HTML elements with no content are called empty elements. <br> is an empty element without a closing tag (the <br> tag defines a line break). Tip: In XHTML, all elements must be closed. Adding a slash inside the start tag, like <br />, is the proper way of closing empty elements in XHTML (and XML).

HTML Tip: Use Lowercase Tags


HTML tags are not case sensitive: <P> means the same as <p>. Many web sites use uppercase HTML tags. W3Schools use lowercase tags because the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommends lowercase in HTML 4, and demands lowercase tags in XHTML.

Attributes provide additional information about HTML elements.

HTML Attributes

HTML elements can have attributes Attributes provide additional information about an element Attributes are always specified in the start tag Attributes come in name/value pairs like: name="value"

Attribute Example
HTML links are defined with the <a> tag. The link address is specified in the href attribute:

Example
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com">This is a link</a>
Try it yourself

Always Quote Attribute Values


Attribute values should always be enclosed in quotes. Double style quotes are the most common, but single style quotes are also allowed. Tip: In some rare situations, when the attribute value itself contains quotes, it is necessary to use single quotes: name='John "ShotGun" Nelson'

HTML Tip: Use Lowercase Attributes


Attribute names and attribute values are case-insensitive. However, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommends lowercase attributes/attribute values in their HTML 4 recommendation. Newer versions of (X)HTML will demand lowercase attributes.

HTML Attributes Reference


A complete list of legal attributes for each HTML element is listed in our: HTML Tag Reference. Below is a list of some attributes that can be used on any HTML element: Attribute Description class id style title Specifies one or more classnames for an element (refers to a class in a style sheet) Specifies a unique id for an element Specifies an inline CSS style for an element Specifies extra information about an element (displayed as a tool tip)

Headings are important in HTML documents.

HTML Headings
Headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags. <h1> defines the most important heading. <h6> defines the least important heading.

Example
<h1>This is a heading</h1> <h2>This is a heading</h2> <h3>This is a heading</h3>
Try it yourself Note: Browsers automatically add some empty space (a margin) before and after each heading.

Headings Are Important


Use HTML headings for headings only. Don't use headings to make text BIG or bold. Search engines use your headings to index the structure and content of your web pages. Since users may skim your pages by its headings, it is important to use headings to show the document structure. H1 headings should be used as main headings, followed by H2 headings, then the less important H3 headings, and so on.

HTML Lines
The <hr>tag creates a horizontal line in an HTML page. The hr element can be used to separate content:

Example
<p>This is a paragraph.</p> <hr> <p>This is a paragraph.</p> <hr> <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
Try it yourself

HTML Comments
Comments can be inserted into the HTML code to make it more readable and understandable. Comments are ignored by the browser and are not displayed. Comments are written like this:

Example

<!-- This is a comment -->


Try it yourself Note: There is an exclamation point after the opening bracket, but not before the closing bracket.

HTML Tip - How to View HTML Source


Have you ever seen a Web page and wondered "Hey! How did they do that?" To find out, right-click in the page and select "View Source" (IE) or "View Page Source" (Firefox), or similar for other browsers. This will open a window containing the HTML code of the page.

Examples From This Page

HTML Tag Reference


W3Schools' tag reference contains additional information about these tags and their attributes. You will learn more about HTML tags and attributes in the next chapters of this tutorial. Tag Description

<html> <body> <h1> to <h6> <hr> <!-->

Defines an HTML document Defines the document's body Defines HTML headings Defines a horizontal line Defines a comment

HTML documents are divided into paragraphs.

HTML Paragraphs
Paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag.

Example
<p>This is a paragraph</p> <p>This is another paragraph</p>
Try it yourself Note: Browsers automatically add an empty line before and after a paragraph.

Don't Forget the End Tag


Most browsers will display HTML correctly even if you forget the end tag:

Example
<p>This is a paragraph <p>This is another paragraph
Try it yourself

The example above will work in most browsers, but don't rely on it. Forgetting the end tag can produce unexpected results or errors. Note: Future version of HTML will not allow you to skip end tags.

HTML Line Breaks


Use the <br> tag if you want a line break (a new line) without starting a new paragraph:

Example
<p>This is<br>a para<br>graph with line breaks</p>
Try it yourself The <br> element is an empty HTML element. It has no end tag.

HTML Output - Useful Tips


You cannot be sure how HTML will be displayed. Large or small screens, and resized windows will create different results. With HTML, you cannot change the output by adding extra spaces or extra lines in your HTML code. The browser will remove extra spaces and extra lines when the page is displayed. Any number of lines count as one line, and any number of spaces count as one space. Try it yourself (The example demonstrates some HTML formatting problems)

HTML Formatting Tags


HTML uses tags like <b> and <i> for formatting output, like bold or italic text. These HTML tags are called formatting tags (look at the bottom of this page for a complete reference).

Often <strong> renders as <b>, and <em> renders as <i>. However, there is a difference in the meaning of these tags: <b> or <i> defines bold or italic text only.

<strong> or <em> means that you want the text to be rendered in a way that the user und "important". Today, all major browsers render strong as bold and em as italics. However, if wants to make a text highlighted with the strong feature, it might be cursive for example an

HTML links How to create links in an HTML document. (You can find more examples at the bottom of this page)

HTML Hyperlinks (Links)


The HTML <a> tag defines a hyperlink. A hyperlink (or link) is a word, group of words, or image that you can click on to jump to another document.

When you move the cursor over a link in a Web page, the arrow will turn into a little hand. The most important attribute of the <a> element is the href attribute, which indicates the links destination. By default, links will appear as follows in all browsers:

An unvisited link is underlined and blue A visited link is underlined and purple An active link is underlined and red

HTML Link Syntax


The HTML code for a link is simple. It looks like this:

<a href="url">Link text</a>


The href attribute specifies the destination of a link.

Example
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/">Visit W3Schools</a>
which will display like this: Visit W3Schools Clicking on this hyperlink will send the user to W3Schools' homepage. Tip: The "Link text" doesn't have to be text. It can be an image or any other HTML element.

HTML Links - The target Attribute


The target attribute specifies where to open the linked document. The example below will open the linked document in a new browser window or a new tab:

Example

<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/" target="_blank">Visit W3Schools!</a>


Try it yourself

HTML Links - The id Attribute


The id attribute can be used to create a bookmark inside an HTML document. Tip: Bookmarks are not displayed in any special way. They are invisible to the reader.

Example
An anchor with an id inside an HTML document:

<a id="tips">Useful Tips Section</a>


Create a link to the "Useful Tips Section" inside the same document:

<a href="#tips">Visit the Useful Tips Section</a>


Or, create a link to the "Useful Tips Section" from another page:

<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/html_links.htm#tips"> Visit the Useful Tips Section</a>

Basic Notes - Useful Tips


Note: Always add a trailing slash to subfolder references. If you link like this: href="http://www.w3schools.com/html", you will generate two requests to the server, the server will first add a slash to the address, and then create a new request like this: href="http://www.w3schools.com/html/".

The HTML <head> Element


The <head> element is a container for all the head elements. Elements inside <head> can include scripts, instruct the browser where to find style sheets, provide meta information, and more. The following tags can be added to the head section: <title>, <style>, <meta>, <link>, <script>, <noscript>, and <base>.

The HTML <title> Element


The <title> tag defines the title of the document. The <title> element is required in all HTML/XHTML documents. The <title> element:

defines a title in the browser toolbar provides a title for the page when it is added to favorites displays a title for the page in search-engine results

A simplified HTML document:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Title of the document</title> </head> <body> The content of the document...... </body> </html>

The HTML <base> Element


The <base> tag specifies the base URL/target for all relative URLs in a page:

<head> <base href="http://www.w3schools.com/images/" target="_blank"> </head>

The HTML <link> Element


The <link> tag defines the relationship between a document and an external resource. The <link> tag is most used to link to style sheets:

<head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css"> </head>

The HTML <style> Element


The <style> tag is used to define style information for an HTML document. Inside the <style> element you specify how HTML elements should render in a browser:

<head> <style type="text/css"> body {background-color:yellow} p {color:blue} </style> </head>

The HTML <meta> Element


Metadata is data (information) about data. The <meta> tag provides metadata about the HTML document. Metadata will not be displayed on the page, but will be machine parsable. Meta elements are typically used to specify page description, keywords, author of the document, last modified, and other metadata.

The metadata can be used by browsers (how to display content or reload page), search engines (keywords), or other web services. <meta> tags always goes inside the <head> element.

<meta> Tags - Examples of Use


Define keywords for search engines:

<meta name="keywords" content="HTML, CSS, XML, XHTML, JavaScript">


Define a description of your web page:

<meta name="description" content="Free Web tutorials on HTML and CSS">


Define the author of a page:

<meta name="author" content="Hege Refsnes">


Refresh document every 30 seconds:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30">

The HTML <script> Element


The <script> tag is used to define a client-side script, such as a JavaScript. The <script> element will be explained in a later chapter.

HTML head Elements


Tag <head> <title> Description Defines information about the document Defines the title of a document

<base> <link> <meta> <script> <style>

Defines a default address or a default target for all links on a page Defines the relationship between a document and an external resource Defines metadata about an HTML document Defines a client-side script Defines style information for a document

Styling HTML with CSS


CSS was introduced together with HTML 4, to provide a better way to style HTML elements. CSS can be added to HTML in the following ways:

Inline - using the style attribute in HTML elements Internal - using the <style> element in the <head> section External - using an external CSS file

The preferred way to add CSS to HTML, is to put CSS syntax in separate CSS files. However, in this HTML tutorial we will introduce you to CSS using the style attribute. This is done to simplify the examples. It also makes it easier for you to edit the code and try it yourself. You can learn everything about CSS in our CSS Tutorial.

Inline Styles
An inline style can be used if a unique style is to be applied to one single occurrence of an element. To use inline styles, use the style attribute in the relevant tag. The style attribute can contain any CSS property. The example below shows how to change the text color and the left margin of a paragraph: <p style="color:blue;margin-left:20px;">This is a paragraph.</p> To learn more about style sheets, visit our CSS tutorial.

HTML Style Example - Background Color


The background-color property defines the background color for an element:

Example

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body style="background-color:yellow;"> <h2 style="background-color:red;">This is a heading</h2> <p style="background-color:green;">This is a paragraph.</p> </body> </html>

Try it yourself The background-color property makes the "old" bgcolor attribute obsolete. Try it yourself: Background color the old way

HTML Style Example - Font, Color and Size


The font-family, color, and font-size properties defines the font, color, and size of the text in an element:

Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h1 style="font-family:verdana;">A heading</h1> <p style="font-family:arial;color:red;font-size:20px;">A paragraph.</p> </body> </html>

Try it yourself The font-family, color, and font-size properties make the old <font> tag obsolete.

HTML Style Example - Text Alignment


The text-align property specifies the horizontal alignment of text in an element:

Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h1 style="text-align:center;">Center-aligned heading</h1> <p>This is a paragraph.</p> </body> </html>

Try it yourself The text-align property makes the old <center> tag obsolete. Try it yourself: Centered heading the old way

Internal Style Sheet


An internal style sheet can be used if one single document has a unique style. Internal styles are defined in the <head> section of an HTML page, by using the <style> tag, like this: <head> <style type="text/css"> body {background-color:yellow;} p {color:blue;} </style> </head>

External Style Sheet

An external style sheet is ideal when the style is applied to many pages. With an external style sheet, you can change the look of an entire Web site by changing one file. Each page must link to the style sheet using the <link> tag. The <link> tag goes inside the <head> section: <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css"> </head>

HTML Style Tags


Tag <style> <link> Description Defines style information for a document Defines the relationship between a document and an external resource

Deprecated Tags and Attributes


In HTML 4, several tags and attributes were used to style documents. These tags are not supported in newer versions of HTML. Avoid using the elements: <font>, <center>, and <strike>, and the attributes: color and bgcolor.

HTML Images - The <img> Tag and the Src Attribute


In HTML, images are defined with the <img> tag. The <img> tag is empty, which means that it contains attributes only, and has no closing tag. To display an image on a page, you need to use the src attribute. Src stands for "source". The value of the src attribute is the URL of the image you want to display. Syntax for defining an image:

<img src="url" alt="some_text">


The URL points to the location where the image is stored. An image named "boat.gif", located in the "images" directory on "www.w3schools.com" has the URL: http://www.w3schools.com/images/boat.gif. The browser displays the image where the <img> tag occurs in the document. If you put an image tag between two paragraphs, the browser shows the first paragraph, then the image, and then the second paragraph.

HTML Images - The Alt Attribute


The required alt attribute specifies an alternate text for an image, if the image cannot be displayed. The value of the alt attribute is an author-defined text:

<img src="boat.gif" alt="Big Boat">


The alt attribute provides alternative information for an image if a user for some reason cannot view it (because of slow connection, an error in the src attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader).

HTML Images - Set Height and Width of an Image


The height and width attributes are used to specify the height and width of an image. The attribute values are specified in pixels by default:

<img src="pulpit.jpg" alt="Pulpit rock" width="304" height="228">


Tip: It is a good practice to specify both the height and width attributes for an image. If these attributes are set, the space required for the image is reserved when the page is loaded. However, without these attributes, the browser does not know the size of the image. The effect will be that the page layout will change during loading (while the images load).

Basic Notes - Useful Tips


Note: If an HTML file contains ten images - eleven files are required to display the page right. Loading images takes time, so my best advice is: Use images carefully. Note: When a web page is loaded, it is the browser, at that moment, that actually gets the image from a web server and inserts it into the page. Therefore, make sure that the images actually stay in the same spot in relation to the web page, otherwise your visitors will get a broken link icon. The broken link icon is shown if the browser cannot find the image.

Tables How to create tables in an HTML document. (You can find more examples at the bottom of this page).

HTML Tables
Tables are defined with the <table> tag. A table is divided into rows (with the <tr> tag), and each row is divided into data cells (with the <td> tag). td stands for "table data," and holds the content of a data cell. A <td> tag can contain text, links, images, lists, forms, other tables, etc.

Table Example
<table border="1"> <tr> <td>row 1, cell 1</td> <td>row 1, cell 2</td> </tr>

<tr> <td>row 2, cell 1</td> <td>row 2, cell 2</td> </tr> </table>


How the HTML code above looks in a browser: row 1, cell 1 row 1, cell 2 row 2, cell 1 row 2, cell 2

HTML Tables and the Border Attribute


If you do not specify a border attribute, the table will be displayed without borders. Sometimes this can be useful, but most of the time, we want the borders to show. To display a table with borders, specify the border attribute:

<table border="1"> <tr> <td>Row 1, cell 1</td> <td>Row 1, cell 2</td> </tr> </table>

HTML Table Headers


Header information in a table are defined with the <th> tag. All major browsers display the text in the <th> element as bold and centered.

<table border="1"> <tr> <th>Header 1</th> <th>Header 2</th> </tr> <tr> <td>row 1, cell 1</td> <td>row 1, cell 2</td> </tr>

<tr> <td>row 2, cell 1</td> <td>row 2, cell 2</td> </tr> </table>


How the HTML code above looks in your browser: Header 1 Header 2

row 1, cell 1 row 1, cell 2 row 2, cell 1 row 2, cell 2

How the HTML code above looks in a browser: 1. Coffee 2. Milk

HTML Definition Lists


A definition list is a list of items, with a description of each item. The <dl> tag defines a definition list. The <dl> tag is used in conjunction with <dt> (defines the item in the list) and <dd> (describes the item in the list): <dl> <dt>Coffee</dt> <dd>- black hot drink</dd> <dt>Milk</dt> <dd>- white cold drink</dd> </dl> How the HTML code above looks in a browser: Coffee - black hot drink Milk - white cold drink

Basic Notes - Useful Tips


Tip: Inside a list item you can put text, line breaks, images, links, other lists, etc.

HTML elements can be grouped together with <div> and <span>.

HTML Block Elements


Most HTML elements are defined as block level elements or as inline elements. Block level elements normally start (and end) with a new line when displayed in a browser. Examples: <h1>, <p>, <ul>, <table>

HTML Inline Elements


Inline elements are normally displayed without starting a new line. Examples: <b>, <td>, <a>, <img>

The HTML <div> Element


The HTML <div> element is a block level element that can be used as a container for grouping other HTML elements. The <div> element has no special meaning. Except that, because it is a block level element, the browser will display a line break before and after it. When used together with CSS, the <div> element can be used to set style attributes to large blocks of content. Another common use of the <div> element, is for document layout. It replaces the "old way" of defining layout using tables. Using tables is not the correct use of the <table> element. The purpose of the <table> element is to display tabular data.

The HTML <span> Element

The HTML <span> element is an inline element that can be used as a container for text. The <span> element has no special meaning. When used together with CSS, the <span> element can be used to set style attributes to parts of the text.

HTML Grouping Tags


Tag <div> <span> Description Defines a section in a document (block-level) Defines a section in a document (inline)

Website Layouts
Most websites have put their content in multiple columns (formatted like a magazine or newspaper). Multiple columns are created by using <div> or <table> elements. CSS are used to position elements, or to create backgrounds or colorful look for the pages.

Even though it is possible to create nice layouts with HTML tables, tables were designed for data - NOT as a layout tool!

HTML Layouts - Using <div> Elements


The div element is a block level element used for grouping HTML elements.

The following example uses five div elements to create a multiple column layout, creating the same result as in the previous example:

Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <div id="container" style="width:500px"> <div id="header" style="background-color:#FFA500;"> <h1 style="margin-bottom:0;">Main Title of Web Page</h1></div> <div id="menu" style="backgroundcolor:#FFD700;height:200px;width:100px;float:left;"> <b>Menu</b><br> HTML<br> CSS<br> JavaScript</div> <div id="content" style="backgroundcolor:#EEEEEE;height:200px;width:400px;float:left;"> Content goes here</div> <div id="footer" style="background-color:#FFA500;clear:both;textalign:center;"> Copyright W3Schools.com</div> </div> </body> </html>

HTML Layouts - Using Tables


A simple way of creating layouts is by using the HTML <table> tag. Multiple columns are created by using <div> or <table> elements. CSS are used to position elements, or to create backgrounds or colorful look for the pages.

Using <table> to create a nice layout is NOT the correct use of the element. The purpose of element is to display tabular data!

The following example uses a table with 3 rows and 2 columns - the first and last row spans both columns using the colspan attribute:

Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <table width="500" border="0"> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="background-color:#FFA500;"> <h1>Main Title of Web Page</h1> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color:#FFD700;width:100px;"> <b>Menu</b><br> HTML<br> CSS<br> JavaScript

</td> <td style="background-color:#EEEEEE;height:200px;width:400px;"> Content goes here</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="background-color:#FFA500;text-align:center;"> Copyright W3Schools.com</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>

HTML Layout - Useful Tips

Tip: The biggest advantage of using CSS is that, if you place the CSS code in an external style sheet, your site becomes MUCH EASIER to maintain. You can change the layout of all your pages by editing one file. To learn more about CSS, study our CSS tutorial. Tip: Because advanced layouts take time to create, a quicker option is to use a template. Search Google for free website templates (these are pre-built website layouts you can use and customize).

HTML Layout Tags


Tag <div> <span> Description Defines a section in a document (block-level) Defines a section in a document (inline)

HTML Forms
HTML forms are used to pass data to a server. An HTML form can contain input elements like text fields, checkboxes, radiobuttons, submit buttons and more. A form can also contain select lists, textarea, fieldset, legend, and label elements. The <form> tag is used to create an HTML form:

<form> . input elements . </form>

HTML Forms - The Input Element


The most important form element is the <input> element. The <input> element is used to select user information. An <input> element can vary in many ways, depending on the type attribute. An <input> element can be of type text field, checkbox, password, radio button, submit button, and more. The most common input types are described below.

Text Fields
<input type="text"> defines a one-line input field that a user can enter text into:

<form> First name: <input type="text" name="firstname"><br> Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname"> </form>
How the HTML code above looks in a browser: First name: Last name: Note: The form itself is not visible. Also note that the default width of a text field is 20 characters.

Password Field
<input type="password"> defines a password field:

<form> Password: <input type="password" name="pwd"> </form>


How the HTML code above looks in a browser:

Password: Note: The characters in a password field are masked (shown as asterisks or circles).

Radio Buttons
<input type="radio"> defines a radio button. Radio buttons let a user select ONLY ONE of a limited number of choices:

<form> <input type="radio" name="sex" value="male">Male<br> <input type="radio" name="sex" value="female">Female </form>
How the HTML code above looks in a browser: Male Female

Checkboxes
<input type="checkbox"> defines a checkbox. Checkboxes let a user select ZERO or MORE options of a limited number of choices.

<form> <input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">I have a bike<br> <input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Car">I have a car </form>
How the HTML code above looks in a browser: I have a bike I have a car

Submit Button

<input type="submit"> defines a submit button. A submit button is used to send form data to a server. The data is sent to the page specified in the form's action attribute. The file defined in the action attribute usually does something with the received input:

<form name="input" action="html_form_action.asp" method="get"> Username: <input type="text" name="user"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form>
How the HTML code above looks in a browser: Username:
Submit

If you type some characters in the text field above, and click the "Submit" button, the browser will send your input to a page called "html_form_action.asp". The page will show you the received input.

Iframe - Set Height and Width


The height and width attributes are used to specify the height and width of the iframe. The attribute values are specified in pixels by default, but they can also be in percent (like "80%").

Example
<iframe src="demo_iframe.htm" width="200" height="200"></iframe>
Try it yourself

Iframe - Remove the Border


The frameborder attribute specifies whether or not to display a border around the iframe. Set the attribute value to "0" to remove the border:

Example
<iframe src="demo_iframe.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Try it yourself

Use iframe as a Target for a Link


An iframe can be used as the target frame for a link. The target attribute of a link must refer to the name attribute of the iframe:

Example
<iframe src="demo_iframe.htm" name="iframe_a"></iframe> <p><a href="http://www.w3schools.com" target="iframe_a">W3Schools.com</a></p>

Color Values
HTML colors are defined using a hexadecimal notation (HEX) for the combination of Red, Green, and Blue color values (RGB). The lowest value that can be given to one of the light sources is 0 (in HEX: 00). The highest value is 255 (in HEX: FF). HEX values are specified as 3 pairs of two-digit numbers, starting with a # sign.

Web Safe Colors?


Some years ago, when computers supported max 256 different colors, a list of 216 "Web Safe Colors" was suggested as a Web standard, reserving 40 fixed system colors. The 216 cross-browser color palette was created to ensure that all computers would display the colors correctly when running a 256 color palette. This is not important today, since most computers can display millions of different colors. Anyway, here is the list: 000000 003300 006600 009900 00CC00 00FF00 330000 333300 336600 339900 33CC00 33FF00 660000 663300 666600 669900 66CC00 66FF00 990000 993300 000033 003333 006633 009933 00CC33 00FF33 330033 333333 336633 339933 33CC33 33FF33 660033 663333 666633 669933 66CC33 66FF33 990033 993333 000066 003366 006666 009966 00CC66 00FF66 330066 333366 336666 339966 33CC66 33FF66 660066 663366 666666 669966 66CC66 66FF66 990066 993366 000099 003399 006699 009999 00CC99 00FF99 330099 333399 336699 339999 33CC99 33FF99 660099 663399 666699 669999 66CC99 66FF99 990099 993399 0000CC 0033CC 0066CC 0099CC 00CCCC 00FFCC 3300CC 3333CC 3366CC 3399CC 33CCCC 33FFCC 6600CC 6633CC 6666CC 6699CC 66CCCC 66FFCC 9900CC 9933CC 0000FF 0033FF 0066FF 0099FF 00CCFF 00FFFF 3300FF 3333FF 3366FF 3399FF 33CCFF 33FFFF 6600FF 6633FF 6666FF 6699FF 66CCFF 66FFFF 9900FF 9933FF

The HTML <script> Tag


The <script> tag is used to define a client-side script, such as a JavaScript. The <script> element either contains scripting statements or it points to an external script file through the src attribute. The required type attribute specifies the MIME type of the script. Common uses for JavaScript are image manipulation, form validation, and dynamic changes of content. The script below writes Hello World! to the HTML output:

Example
<script> document.write("Hello World!") </script>

Try it yourself Tip: To learn more about JavaScript, visit our JavaScript tutorial!

The HTML <noscript> Tag


The <noscript> tag is used to provide an alternate content for users that have disabled scripts in their browser or have a browser that doesnt support client-side scripting. The <noscript> element can contain all the elements that you can find inside the <body> element of a normal HTML page. The content inside the <noscript> element will only be displayed if scripts are not supported, or are disabled in the users browser:

Example
<script> document.write("Hello World!") </script> <noscript>Sorry, your browser does not support JavaScript!</noscript>

A Taste of JavaScript (From Our JavaScript Tutorial)


Here are some examples of what JavaScript can do:

HTML Entities
Some characters are reserved in HTML. It is not possible to use the less than (<) or greater than (>) signs in your text, because the browser will mix them with tags. To actually display reserved characters, we must use character entities in the HTML source code. A character entity looks like this:

&entity_name; OR &#entity_number;
To display a less than sign we must write: &lt; or &#60;

Tip: The advantage of using an entity name, instead of a number, is that the name is easier to remember. However, the disadvantage is that browsers may not support all entity names (the support for entity numbers is very good).

Non-breaking Space
A common character entity used in HTML is the non-breaking space (&nbsp;). Browsers will always truncate spaces in HTML pages. If you write 10 spaces in your text, the browser will remove 9 of them, before displaying the page. To add spaces to your text, you can use the &nbsp; character entity.

A URL is another word for a web address. A URL can be composed of words, such as "w3schools.com", or an Internet Protocol (IP) address: 192.68.20.50. Most people enter the name of the website when surfing, because names are easier to remember than numbers.

URL - Uniform Resource Locator


Web browsers request pages from web servers by using a URL. When you click on a link in an HTML page, an underlying <a> tag points to an address on the world wide web. A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is used to address a document (or other data) on the world wide web. A web address, like this: http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp follows these syntax rules:

scheme://host.domain:port/path/filename
Explanation:

scheme - defines the type of Internet service. The most common type is http host - defines the domain host (the default host for http is www) domain - defines the Internet domain name, like w3schools.com :port - defines the port number at the host (the default port number for http is 80) path - defines a path at the server (If omitted, the document must be stored at the root directory of the web site) filename - defines the name of a document/resource

URL Encoding
URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set. Since URLs often contain characters outside the ASCII set, the URL has to be converted into a valid ASCII format. URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet. URL encoding replaces non ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits. URLs cannot contain spaces. URL encoding normally replaces a space with a + sign.

Try It Yourself
If you click the "Submit" button below, the browser will URL encode the input before it is sent to the server. A page at the server will display the received input.
Hello Gnter

You Have Learned HTML, Now What?


Previous Next Chapter

HTML Summary
This tutorial has taught you how to use HTML to create your own web site. HTML is the universal markup language for the Web. HTML lets you format text, add graphics, create links, input forms, frames and tables, etc., and save it all in a text file that any browser can read and display. The key to HTML is the tags, which indicates what content is coming up. For more information on HTML, please take a look at our HTML examples and our HTML reference.

Now You Know HTML, What's Next?

Learn CSS
CSS is used to control the style and layout of multiple Web pages all at once. With CSS, all formatting can be removed from the HTML document and stored in a separate file. CSS gives you total control of the layout, without messing up the document content. To learn how to create style sheets, please visit our CSS tutorial.

Learn JavaScript
JavaScript can make your web site more dynamic. A static web site is nice when you just want to show flat content, but a dynamic web site can react to events and allow user interaction. JavaScript is the most popular scripting language on the internet and it works with all major browsers. If you want to learn more about JavaScript, please visit our JavaScript tutorial.

Hosting your own Web site


Hosting your web site on your own server is always an option. Here are some points to consider:

Hardware Expenses
To run a "real" web site, you will have to buy some powerful server hardware. Don't expect that a low cost PC will do the job. You will also need a permanent (24 hours a day ) high-speed connection.

Software Expenses
Remember that server-licenses often are higher than client-licenses. Also note that server-licenses might have limits on number of users.

Labor Expenses
Don't expect low labor expenses. You have to install your own hardware and software. You also have to deal with bugs and viruses, and keep your server constantly running in an environment where "everything could happen".

Using an Internet Service Provider


Renting a server from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) is a common option. Most small companies store their web site on a server provided by an ISP. Here are some advantages:

Connection Speed
Most ISPs have very fast connections to the Internet.

Powerful Hardware
ISPs often have powerful web servers that can be shared by several companies. You can also expect them to have an effective load balancing, and necessary backup servers.

Security and Stability


ISPs are specialists on web hosting. Expect their servers to have more than 99% up time, the latest software patches, and the best virus protection.

Things to Consider with an ISP

24-hour support
Make sure your ISP offers 24-hours support. Don't put yourself in a situation where you cannot fix critical problems without having to wait until the next working day. Toll-free phone could be vital if you don't want to pay for long distance calls.

Daily Backup
Make sure your ISP runs a daily backup routine, otherwise you may lose some valuable data.

Traffic Volume
Study the ISP's traffic volume restrictions. Make sure that you don't have to pay a fortune for unexpected high traffic if your web site becomes popular.

Bandwidth or Content Restrictions


Study the ISP's bandwidth and content restrictions. If you plan to publish pictures or broadcast video or sound, make sure that you can.

E-mail Capabilities
Make sure your ISP supports the e-mail capabilities you need.

Database Access
If you plan to use data from databases on your web site, make sure your ISP supports the database access you need. Before you select an ISP, make sure you read W3Schools Web Hosting Tutorial.
