INTRODUTION TO HTML

HOW TO CREATE AN HTML DOCUMENT

• The essential tags that are required to create a


HTML document are:
• <HTML>.............</HTML>
• <HEAD>.............</HEAD>
• <BODY>.............</BODY>
HTML Tag <HTML>
• The <HTML> tag encloses all other HTML tags and associated text
within your document. It is an optional tag. You can create an HTML
document that omits these tags, and your browser can still read it
and display it. But it is always a good form to include the start and
stop tags.The format is:
• <HTML>
Your Title and Document (contains text with HTML tags) goes here
• </HTML>
Most HTML tags have two parts, an opening tag and closing tag. The
closing tag is the same as the opening tag, except for the slash
mark e.g. </HTML>. The slash mark is always used in closing tags.
An HTML document has two distinct parts HEAD and
BODY

• <HTML>
• <HEAD>
• .............
• .............
• .............
• </HEAD>
• <BODY>
• .............
• .............
• .............
• </BODY>
• </HTML>
HEAD Tag <HEAD>
• HEAD tag comes after the HTML start tag. It
contains TITLE tag to give the document a title
that displays on the browsers title bar at the top.
The Format is:
<HEAD>
<TITLE>
Your title goes here
</TITLE>
</HEAD>
BODY Tag <BODY>
• The BODY tag contains all the text and graphics of the document
with all the HTML tags that are used for control and formatting of
the page.The Format is:

<BODY>
Your Document goes here
</BODY>

An HTML document, web page can be created using a text editor,


Notepad or WordPad. All the HTML documents should have the
extension .htm or html. It require a web browser like Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator/Communicator to view the
document.
TEXT TEGS

• Text tag are dividing into two categories as:


-Character-level tags and attributes which
applies to formatting of individual letters or
words.
-Paragraph level tags and attributes which apply
=To formatting of sections of text.
Character Formatting Tag
• The character formatting tags are used to
specify how a particular text should be
displayed on the screen to distinguish certain
characters within the document.
The most common character
formatting tags are
• Boldface <B>: displays text in BOLD
Example: Welcome to the <B> Internet World </B>
Output: Welcome to the Internet World
• Italics <I>: displays text in Italic
Example: Welcome to the <I> Internet World </I>
Output: Welcome to the Internet World
• Subscript <SUB>: displays text in Subscript
• Superscript <SUP>: displays text in Superscript
• Small <SMALL>: displays text in smaller font as compared to normal font
• Big <BIG>: displays text in larger font as compared to normal font
• Underline<U>specifies that the enclosed text be underline
Example:<U> hello</u>
Output: hello
MARQUEE TAG
• This tag is used text horizontally across the
screen.it is mainly used to deliver a specfic
message to the visitor or to scroll Ads on a
page.
• Example: <marquee> hello world></marquee>
Attributes of marquee tag

• Direction :Sets the direction of the marquee


box to either left-to-right, right-to-left, up-to-
down and down-to-up.
• Width: This sets how wide the marquee
should be.
• Loop: This sets how many times the marquee
should 'Loop' its text. Each trip counts as one
loop.
paragraph Formatting Tag
• Paragraph level formatting applies to
formatting of an entire portion of text unlike
character level tags where only individual
letters or words are formatted.
The most common paragraph
formatting tags are
• Using paragraph tag: <P>
T h i s t a g < P > i n d i c a t e s a p a r a g r a p h ,u s e d
t o s e p a r a t e two paragraphs with a blank line.
• Example:
<P> Welcome to the world of HTML </P>
<P> First paragraph. Text of First paragraph goes here</P>
• Output:
Welcome to the world of HTML
First paragraph. Text of First paragraph goes her
Using Line Break Tag: <BR>
• The empty tag <BR> is used, where the text
needs to start from a new line and not
continue on the same line. To get every
sentence on a new line, it is necessary to use a
line break.
Using Preformatted Text Tag: <PRE>
• <PRE> tag can be used, where it requires total control over s p a c i
ng and line breaks such as typing a poem. B
r o w s e r preserves your space and line break in the text written
inside the tag.
• Example:
<PRE>
National Institute of Open Schooling
B-31B, Kailash Colony
New Delhi-110048
</PRE>
• Output:
National Institute of Open Schooling
B-31B, Kailash Colony
New Delhi-11004

Using Horizontal Rule Tag: <HR>
• An empty tag <HR> basically used to draw lines and
horizontal rules. It can be used to separate two sections of
text.
• Example:
<BODY>
Your horizontal rule goes here. <HR>
The rest of the text goes here.
</BODY>
• Output:
Your horizontal rule goes here.

The rest of the text goes her


HEADING: <H1>.............<H6>tags
HTML has six header tags <H1>,
<H2>...........<H6> used to specify section
headings. Text with header tags is displayed in
larger and bolder fonts than the normal body
text by a web browser. Every .header leaves a
blank line above and below it when displayed
in browse.
Example: An HTML document, headings.html shows
the different section headings
.

Lists

In this chapter you will learn how to create a variety of lists.


Objectives
Upon completing this section, you should be able to
1. Create an unordered list.
2. Create an ordered list.
3. Create a defined list.
4. Nest Lists.

26
List Elements
 HTML supplies several list elements. Most list elements
are composed of one or more <LI> (List Item) elements.
 UL : Unordered List. Items in this list start with a list mark
such as a bullet. Browsers will usually change the list
mark in nested lists.
<UL>
<LI> List item …</LI>
<LI> List item …</LI>
</UL>
• List item …
• List item …
27
List Elements
 You have the choice of three bullet types: disc(default),
circle, square.
 These are controlled in Netscape Navigator by the
“TYPE” attribute for the <UL> element.
<UL TYPE=“square”>
<LI> List item …</LI>
<LI> List item …</LI>
<LI> List item …</LI>
</UL>
 List item …
 List item …
 List item … 28
List Elements
 OL: Ordered List. Items in this list are numbered
automatically by the browser.
<OL>
<LI> List item …</LI>
<LI> List item …</LI>
<LI> List item …</LI>
</OL>
1. List item …
2. List item …
3. List item
 You have the choice of setting the TYPE Attribute to
one of five numbering styles.
29
List Elements
TYPE Numbering Styles
1 Arabic numbers 1,2,3, ……
a Lower alpha a, b, c, ……
A Upper alpha A, B, C, ……
i Lower roman i, ii, iii, ……
I Upper roman I, II, III, ……

30
List Elements
 You can specify a starting number for an ordered
list.
<OL TYPE =“i”>
<LI> List item …</LI>
<LI> List item …</LI>
</OL>
<P> text ….</P>
<OL TYPE=“i” START=“3”>
<LI> List item …</LI>
</OL>
31
List Elements
i. List item …
ii. List item …

Text ….

iii. List item …

32
List Elements
 DL: Definition List. This kind of list is different from the
others. Each item in a DL consists of one or more
Definition Terms (DT elements), followed by one or
more Definition Description (DD elements).
<DL>
<DT> HTML </DT>
<DD> Hyper Text Markup Language </DD>
<DT> DOG </DT>
<DD> A human’s best friend!</DD>
</DL>

HTML
Hyper Text Markup Language
DOG
A human’s best friend!
33
Nesting Lists
 You can nest lists by inserting a UL, OL, etc., inside a list
item (LI).
EXample
<UL TYPE = “square”>
<LI> List item …</LI>
<LI> List item …
<OL TYPE=“i” START=“3”>
<LI> List item …</LI>
<LI> List item …</LI>
<LI> List item …</LI>
<LI> List item …</LI>
<LI> List item …</LI>
</OL>
</LI>
<LI> List item …</LI> 34

</UL>
What will be the output?
<H1 ALIGN="CENTER">SAFETY TIPS FOR CANOEISTS</H1>
<OL TYPE=“a” START=“2”>
<LI>Be able to swim </LI>
<LI>Wear a life jacket at all times </LI>
<LI>Don't stand up or move around. If canoe tips,
<UL>
<LI>Hang on to the canoe </LI>
<LI>Use the canoe for support and </LI>
<LI>Swim to shore
</UL> </LI>
<LI>Don't overexert yourself </LI>
<LI>Use a bow light at night </LI>
</OL>

Images
In this chapter you will learn about images
and how to place images in your pages.
Objectives
Upon completing this section, you should be
able to
1. Add images to your pages.

37
Images
 <IMG>This element defines a graphic image on
the page.
 Image File (SRC:source): This value will be a
URL (location of the image) E.g.
http://www.domain.com/dir/file.ext or /dir/file.txt.
 Alternate Text (ALT): This is a text field that
describes an image or acts as a label. It is
displayed when they position the cursor over a
graphic image.
 Alignment (ALIGN): This allows you to align the
image on your page.

38
Images
 Width (WIDTH): is the width of the image in pixels.
 Height (HEIGHT): is the height of the image in
pixels.
 Border (BORDER): is for a border around the
image, specified in pixels.

39
Anchors, URLs and Image Maps
In this chapter you will learn about Uniform Resource
Locator, and how to add them as Anchor or Links
inside your web pages.
Objectives
Upon completing this section, you should be able to
1. Insert links into documents.
2. Define Link Types.
3. Define URL.
4. List some commonly used URLs.
5. Plan an Image Map.
40
HOW TO MAKE A LINK
1) The tags used to produce links are the <A>
and </A>. The <A> tells where the link should start and
the </A> indicates where the link ends. Everything between
these two will work as a link.

2) The example below shows how to make the word


Here work as a link to yahoo.

Click <A HREF="http://www.yahoo.com">here</A> to


go to yahoo.

41
More on LINKs
<body LINK="#C0C0C0" VLINK="#808080"
ALINK="#FF0000">
• LINK - standard link - to a page the visitor hasn't
been to yet. (standard color is blue - #0000FF).
VLINK - visited link - to a page the visitor has been to
before. (standard color is purple - #800080).
ALINK - active link - the color of the link when the
mouse is on it. (standard color is red - #FF0000).
If the programmer what to change the color
• Click <a href="http://www.yahoo.com"><font
color="FF00CC">here</font></a> to go to yahoo.

42
Internal Links
 Internal Links : Links can also be created inside large
documents to simplify navigation. Today’s world wants to be
able to get the information quickly. Internal links can help you
meet these goals.
1. Select some text at a place in the document that you would
like to create a link to, then add an anchor to link to like this:
<A NAME=“bookmark_name”></A>
The Name attribute of an anchor element specifies a location
in the document that we link to shortly. All NAME attributes in
a document must be unique.
2. Next select the text that you would like to create as a link to
the location created above.
<A HREF=“#bookmark_name”>Go To Book Mark</A>

43
E-Mail (Electronic Mail)
E.g. mailto:[email protected]
 The type of service is identified as the mail client
program. This type of link will launch the users
mail client.
 The recipient of the message is
[email protected]
<A HREF=“mailto:[email protected]”>Send me
More Information </A>

48
Tables Attributes
 BGColor: Some browsers support background
colors in a table.
 Width: you can specify the table width as an
absolute number of pixels or a percentage of the
document width. You can set the width for the
table cells as well.
 Border: You can choose a numerical value for
the border width, which specifies the border in
pixels.
 CellSpacing: Cell Spacing represents the space
between cells and is specified in pixels. 49
Table Attributes
 CellPadding: Cell Padding is the space
between the cell border and the cell
contents and is specified in pixels.
 Align: tables can have left, right, or
center alignment.
 Background: Background Image, will be
titled in IE3.0 and above.
 BorderColor, BorderColorDark.

50
Table Caption
 A table caption allows you to specify a line of
text that will appear centered above or bellow
the table.
<TABLE BORDER=1 CELLPADDING=2>
<CAPTION ALIGN=“BOTTOM”> Label For My Table
</CAPTION>

 The Caption element has one attribute ALIGN


that can be either TOP (Above the table) or
BOTTOM (below the table).
51
Table Header

 Table Data cells are represented by the


TD element. Cells can also be TH (Table
Header) elements which results in the
contents of the table header cells
appearing centered and in bold text.

52
Table Data and Table Header
Attributes

56
Special Things to Note
• TH, TD and TR should always have end tags.
Although the end tags are formally optional, many browsers will
mess up the formatting of the table if you omit the end tags. In
particular, you should always use end tags if you have a TABLE
within a TABLE -- in this situation, the table parser gets
hopelessly confused if you don't close your TH, TD and TR
elements.
• A default TABLE has no borders
By default, tables are drawn without border lines. You need the
BORDER attribute to draw the lines.
• By default, a table is flush with the left margin
TABLEs are plopped over on the left margin. If you want
centered tables, You can either: place the table inside a DIV
element with attribute ALIGN="center".
Most current browsers also supports table alignment, using the
ALIGN attribute. Allowed values are "left", "right", or "center", for
example: <TABLE ALIGN="left">. The values "left" and "right"
float the table to the left or right of the page, with text flow
allowed around the table. This is entirely equivalent to IMG
alignment 57
What will be the output?

<TABLE BORDER width=“750”>


<TR> <TD colspan=“4” align=“center”>Page
Banner</TD></TR>

<TR> <TD rowspan=“2” width=“25%”>Nav


Links</TD><TD colspan=“2”>Feature
Article</TD> <TD rowspan=“2”
width=“25%”>Linked Ads</TD></TR>

<TR><TD width=“25%”>News Column 1 </TD>


<TD width=“25%”><News Column 2 </TD></TR>
</TABLE> 58
