HTML – Fundamentals
Frames

• Frames divide a browser window into several pieces or


panes, each pane containing a separate HTML page.
• Key advantages that frames offer is that you can then
load and reload single panes without having to reload
the entire contents of the browser.
• A collection of frames in the browser window is known
as a frameset.
• The window is divided up into frames in a similar
pattern to the way tables are organized (into rows and
columns)
5
Frames and Framesets
• Separation of contents in multiples pages
<html> rows vs. cols
<head>
<title>Its main page</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="30%,70%">
<frame name="top" src="banner.html"/>
Frameset
<frame name="bottom" src="main.html"/>
</frameset>
</html>

Frame (banner.html)

Another Frame (main.html)

Frames and Framesets

Multimedia in HTML
• Playing Background Sound
• Embed Tag
• Embedding Flash Files
• Embedding Movie
• Embedding youtube movie
Playing Sound
• BGSound Tag (for Internet Explorer)
– Works under the HEAD tag
– Syntax: <BGSOUND src=“bird.mp3” loop=2>
– LOOP = 1 … infinite

• Embed Tag (works in almost every browser)


– Syntax: <EMBED src=“bird.mp3” Autostart=“true”
Height=60 width=140>

18
Embed TAG
• The easiest and "most supported" way to add video or sound to your web site
is to include the special HTML tag called EMBED.
• This causes the browser itself to include controls for the multimedia. No
ActiveX, Java, VBscript or JavaScript is needed for this method. This tag is one-
sided, meaning that there is no </EMBED> tag.
<EMBED SRC="mymovie.mov" WIDTH=100 HEIGHT=100>
Embedding Flash File
• After creating a Flash movie you choose File > Save As from the top menu
to save your movie. Save the file as "Somefilename.fla".

• To embed the Flash movie you just made into an HTML page, you should
go back to your Flash program and do the following steps:
• Step 1
Choose File > Open. Open a Flash movie you have created.
• Step 2
Choose File > Export Movie.
• Step 3
Name the file "somefilename.swf". Choose the location where the file is to be
stored (in your Web folder). Click OK.
• Step 4
Open the HTML page where you want to insert your Flash movie. Insert this
code:
Embedding Flash File
<object width="550" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="somefilename.swf">
<embed src="somefilename.swf" width="550" height="400">
</embed>
</object>

• Note: A broken icon will appear on the Web page if the user does
not have the Flash plug-in installed.
Embedded Objects

• Object Tag: Embedding multimedia objects


• Param Tag: Runtime Settings
<object name="unique name" type="MIME Type"
height="nn" width="nn" >
<!-- parameters -->
</object>

<param name="unique name" value="data value“/>

22
Example: Embedding YouTube Video

<h1>Beautiful Pakistan</h1>
<object width="425" height="355"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
<param name="movie"

value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lIoPEf9h4QY&rel=1"/>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
<param name="allowFullScreen“ value="true“>
<param name="quality" value="best" />
</object>

23
What are forms?
• HTML forms are used to create (rather primitive) GUIs on Web
pages
• Usually the purpose is to ask the user for information
• The information is then sent back to the server
• A form is an area that can contain form elements
• The syntax is: <form parameters> ...form elements... </form>
• Form elements include: buttons, checkboxes, text fields, radio
buttons, drop-down menus, etc
– Other kinds of HTML tags can be mixed in with the form elements
• A form usually contains a Submit button to send the
information in the form elements to the server
• The form’s parameters tell how to send the information to the
server
The <form> tag
• The <form attributes> ... </form> tag encloses form elements (and
probably other HTML as well)
• The attributes to form tell what to do with the user input
– action="url" (required)
• Specifies where to send the data when the Submit button is clicked
– method="get" (default)
• Form data is sent as a URL with ?form_data info appended to the end
• Can be used only if data is all ASCII and not more than 100 characters
– method="post"
• Form data is sent in the body of the URL request
– target="target"
• Tells where to open the page sent as a result of the request
• target= _blank means open in a new window
• target= _top means use the same window
The <input> tag
• Most, but not all, form elements use the input tag, with a type="..."
attribute to tell which kind of element it is
• type can be text, checkbox, radio, password,
hidden, submit, reset, button, file, or image
• Other common input tag attributes include:
• name: the name of the element
• value: the “value” of the element; used in different ways
for different values of type
• readonly: the value cannot be changed
• disabled: the user can’t do anything with this element
• Other arguments are defined for the input tag but have
meaning only for certain values of type
Input Tags (1/n)
Textfield
<label for="textfield">Input field:</label>
<input type="text" name="textfield" value="with an initial value" />

Password
<label for="passwordField">Input field:</label>
<input type="password" name="passwordField" value="secret" />

Textarea
<label for="textarea">Input field:</label>
<textarea name="textarea" cols="24" rows="2">This is a large input
area.</textarea>

Number
<label for="number">I am:</label>
<input type="number" id="age" name="age" min="1" max="100">
years old</input>

27
Input Tags (2/n)
Color
<label for="color">My favourite color is:</label>
<input type="color" id="color" name="color">

Date
<label for="birthday">I was born on:</label>
<input type="date" id="birthday" name="birthday">

Email
<label for="email">My email address is:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" size="30"
placeholder="[email protected]">

Tel
<label for="tel">My phone number is:</label>
<input type="tel" id="tel" name="tel" pattern="[0-9]{2}-3[0-9]3-[0-9]
{7}" placeholder="92-3XXX-XXXXXXX">

28
Input Tags (3/n)
File
<label for="pic">Here is my picture:</label>
<input type="file" id="pic" name="pic">

Checkbox
<label for="robo">I am a robot!</label>
<input type="checkbox" name="robo" value="checkbox"
checked />

• name: used to reference this form element from JavaScript


• value/id: value to be returned when element is checked

Note that there is no text associated with the checkbox—you have to supply text
in the surrounding HTML

29
Input Tags (4/n)
Radio
<label for="fake">This is a fake web page.</label>
<input type="radio" name="fake" value="yes" checked>Yes</input>
<input type="radio" name="fake" value="no">No</input>

• If two or more radio buttons have the same name, the user can only select
one of them at a time
– This is how you make a radio button “group”
• If you ask for the value of that name, you will get the value specified for the
selected radio button
• As with checkboxes, radio buttons do not contain any text

30
Input Tags (5/n)
Select
<label for="select">What color is the sky?</label>
<select name="select">
<option value="red">Red</option>
<option value="blue" selected="selected">Blue</option>
<option value="green">Green</option>
</select>

• Select an option:
– Selected=“selected”
• Additional Arguments
– size: the number of items visible in the list (default is "1")
– multiple: if set to "true", any number of items may be selected (default is "false")

31
Hidden fields
• A hidden field:

<p>A hidden field:


<input type="hidden" name="hiddenField"
value="nyah" />
&lt;-- right there, don't you see it?
</p>

• What good is this?


– All input fields are sent back to the server, including hidden fields
– This is a way to include information that the user doesn’t need to see (or that
you don’t want her to see)
– The value of a hidden field can be set programmatically (by JavaScript) before
the form is submitted
Buttons
Submit
<input type="submit" name="submit1" value="Submit">

Reset
<input type="reset" name="submit2" value="Reset">

Input type button


<input type="button" name="button1" value="Push Me">

Button
<button name="button2">Push Me 2</button>

HTML5 Semantic Elements
• Semantics is the study of the meanings of words
and phrases in language.
• Semantic elements are elements with a meaning.
• A semantic element clearly describes its meaning
to both the browser and the developer.
• Examples of non-semantic elements: <div> and
<span> - Tells nothing about its content.
• Examples of semantic elements: <form>, <table>,
and <img> - Clearly defines its content.
