Choosing Text Editor

▪ HTML Editors are excellent tools for


experienced web developers; however; it
is important that you learn and understand
the HTML language so that you can edit
code and fix “bugs” in your pages.
▪ For this Course, we will focus on using the
standard Microsoft Windows text editors,
NotePad. We may use also textpad.

Creating a Basic Starting
Document
▪ The HEAD of your document point to above
window part. The TITLE of your document
appears in the very top line of the user’s
browser. If the user chooses to “Bookmark”
your page or save as a “Favorite”; it is the
TITLE that is added to the list.
▪ The text in your TITLE should be as
descriptive as possible because this is what
many search engines, on the internet, use for
indexing your site. Login360 10
Setting Document Properties

▪ Document properties are controlled


by attributes of the BODY element.
For example, there are color settings
for the background color of the page,
the document’s text and different
states of links.

Login360 11
Color Codes
• Colors are set using “RGB” color codes,
which are, represented as hexadecimal
values. Each 2-digit section of the code
represents the amount, in sequence, of
red, green or blue that forms the color. For
example, a RGB value with 00 as the first
two digits has no red in the color.

The Body Element
• The BODY element of a web page is an
important element in regards to the page’s
appearance. Here are the attributes of the
BODY tag to control all the levels:
TEXT="#RRGGBB" to change the color of all
the text on the page (full page text color.)
▪ This element contains information about the
page’s background color, the background image,
as well as the text and link colors.

Login360 18
Background Color
▪ It is very common to see web pages with
their background color set to white or some
other colors.
▪ To set your document’s background color,
you need to edit the <BODY> element by
adding the BGCOLOR attribute. The
following example will display a document
with a white background color:
<BODY BGCOLOR=“#FFFFFF”></BODY>
Login360 19
TEXT Color

▪ The TEXT attribute is used to control


the color of all the normal text in the
document. The default color for text is
black. The TEXT attribute would be
added as follows:
<BODY BGCOLOR=“#FFFFFF”
TEXT=“#FF0000”></BODY>
In this example the document’s page
color is white and the text would be red.
Login360 20
LINK, VLINK, and ALINK
These attributes control the colors of the different link
states:
1. LINK – initial appearance – default = Blue.
2. VLINK – visited link – default = Purple.
3. ALINK –active link being clicked–default= Yellow.
The Format for setting these attributes is:
<BODY BGCOLOR=“#FFFFFF” TEXT=“#FF0000”
LINK=“#0000FF”
VLINK=“#FF00FF”
ALINK=“FFFF00”> </BODY>Login360 21
Using Image Background
▪ The BODY element also gives you ability
of setting an image as the document’s
background.
▪ An example of a background image’s
HTML code is as follows:

<BODY BACKGROUND=“hi.gif”
BGCOLOR=“#FFFFFF”></BODY>
Login360 22
Previewing Your Work
▪ Once you have created your basic starting
document and set your document properties it
is a good idea to save your file.
▪ To save a file, in NotePad, follow these steps:
1. Locate and click on the menu called “File”.
2. Select the option under File Menu labeled
“Save As”.
3. In the “File Name” text box, type in the entire
name of your file (including the extension
name .html).

Headings, <Hx> </Hx>
▪ Inside the BODY element, heading elements
H1 through H6 are generally used for major
divisions of the document. Headings are
permitted to appear in any order, but you will
obtain the best results when your documents
are displayed in a browser if you follow these
guidelines:
1. H1: should be used as the highest level of heading, H2
as the next highest, and so forth.
2. You should not skip heading levels: e.g., an H3 should
not appear after an H1, unless there is an H2 between
them.

▪ 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
Login360 in pixels. 78
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).
Login360 79
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.

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 Login360 85
What will be the output?

Frames
▪ Frames are a relatively new addition to the HTML
standard. First introduced in Netscape
Navigator 2.0.
Objectives:
Upon completing this section, you should be able to:
▪ Create a Frame based page.
▪ Work with the Frameset, Frame, and Noframes
elements.
▪ Use the attributes of the Frames elements to
control the display.
▪ Set Targets appropriately.
Login360 88
Frames
▪ A framed page is actually made up of multiple
HTML pages. There is one HTML document
that describes how to break up the single
browser window into multiple windowpanes.
Each windowpane is filled with an HTML
document.

▪ For Example to make a framed page with a


windowpane on the left and one on the right
requires three HTML pages. Doc1.html and
Doc2.html are the pages that contain
content. Frames.html is the page that
describes the division of the single browser
window into two windowpanes.
Login360 89

Frames.html
Login360 90
Frame Page Architecture
▪ A <FRAMESET> element is placed in the html
document before the <BODY> element. The
<FRAMESET> describes the amount of screen real
estate given to each windowpane by dividing the
screen into ROWS or COLS.
▪ The <FRAMESET> will then contain <FRAME>
elements, one per division of the browser window.
▪ Note: Because there is no BODY container,
FRAMESET pages can't have background images
and background colors associated with them.

<FRAMESET> Container
<FRAMESET> : The FRAMESET element creates
divisions in the browser window in a single direction.
This allows you to define divisions as either rows or
columns.
▪ ROWS : Determines the size and number of
rectangular rows within a <FRAMESET>. They are
set from top of the display area to the bottom.
Possible values are:
▪ Absolute pixel units, I.e. “360,120”.
▪ A percentage of screen height, e.g. “75%,25%”.
▪ Proportional values using the asterisk (*). This is
often combined with a value in pixels , e.g. “360,*”.
▪ <Frameset cols=“200,20%,*,2*”>
Login360 94
Creating a Frames Page
▪ COLS: Determines the size and number of
rectangular columns within a <FRAMESET>.
They are set from left to right of the display
area.

Possible values are:


▪ Absolute pixel units, I.e. “480,160”.
▪ A percentage of screen width, e.g. “75%,25%”.
▪ Proportional values using the asterisk (*). This is
often combined with a value in pixels , e.g.
“480,*”.

Login360 95
Creating a Frames Page
▪ FRAMEBORDER : Possible values 0, 1, YES, NO. A
setting of zero will create a borderless frame.
▪ FRAMESPACING: This attribute is specified in
pixels. If you go to borderless frames you will need
to set this value to zero as well, or you will have a
gap between your frames where the border used to
be.
▪ BORDER(thickness of the Frame): This attribute
specified in pixels. A setting of zero will create a
borderless frame. Default value is 5.
▪ BORDERCOLOR: This attribute is allows you choose
a color for your border. This attribute is rarely used.

Login360 96
Login360 97
<FRAME>
<FRAME>: This element defines a single frame within a
frameset. There will be a FRAME element for each
division created by the FRAMESET element. This tag
has the following attributes:
▪ SRC: Required, as it provides the URL for the page that
will be displayed in the frame.
▪ NAME: Required for frames that will allow targeting by
other HTML documents. Works in conjunction with the
target attribute of the <A>, <AREA>, <BASE>, and
<FORM> tags.

Login360 98
<FRAME>
▪ MARGINWIDTH: Optional attribute stated in pixels.
Determines horizontal space between the
<FRAME> contents and the frame’s borders.
▪ MARGINHEIGHT: Optional attribute stated in
pixels. Determines vertical space between the
<FRAME> contents and the frame’s borders.
▪ SCROLLING: Displays a scroll bar(s) in the frame.
Possible values are:
1. Yes – always display scroll bar(s).
2. No – never display scroll bar(s).
3. Auto – browser will decide based on frame
contents.
By default: scrolling is auto.
Login360 99
<FRAME>

▪ NORESIZE: Optional – prevents viewers


from resizing the frame. By default the
user can stretch or shrink the frame’s
display by selecting the frame’s border
and moving it up, down, left, or right.

Login360 100
<NOFRAMES>
▪ <NOFRAMES>: Frame – capable browsers ignore all
HTML within this tag including the contents of the BODY
element. This element does not have any attributes.

Compound FRAMESET Divisions

▪ In this case a second FRAMESET element will


be inserted in the place of the FRAME element
that would describe the second row.
▪ The second FRAMESET element will divide the
remaining screen real estate into 2 columns.
▪ This nested FRAMESET will then be followed by
2 FRAME elements to describe each of the
subsequent frame divisions created.

What do the following mean?
1) <FRAMESET COLS="2*, 3*, 5*">
2) <FRAMESET COLS="150, 20%, *, 3*">
So what are the space-allocation priorities?
Absolute pixel values are always
assigned space first, in order from left to
right. These are followed by percentage
values of the total space. Finally,
proportional values are divided based
upon what space is left.

Generic Frame Formula
• The <FRAME> tag has six associated
attributes: SRC, NAME, MARGINWIDTH,
MARGINHEIGHT, SCROLLING, and
NORESIZE. Here's a complete generic
FRAME:
• <FRAME SRC="url" NAME="window_name"
SCROLLING=YES|NO|AUTO

<FRAME SRC=“”>
</FRAMESET>

Login360 116
Targets
▪ When you use links for use in a frames environment you
will need to specify an additional attribute called TARGET.
▪ The TARGET attribute uses the NAME attribute of the
FRAME element.
▪ If we were to place a link in doc1.html that linked to
doc3.html and we wanted doc3.html to be displayed in the
right windowpane; the HTML code would appear in
doc1.html as follows:

<A HREF=“doc3.html”
TARGET=“right_pane”>Link to Document 3
</A>
Login360 117
Special Targets
• There are 4 special target names that cannot be assigned by
the NAME attribute of the FRAME tag.
1. TARGET=“_top” : This loads the linked document into the full
browser window with the URL specified by the HREF attribute.
All frames disappear, leaving the new linked page to occupy
the entire window. The back is turned on.
2. TARGET=“_blank” : Opens an unnamed new browser
window and loads the document specified in the URL attribute
into the new window (and your old window stays open). The
back is turned off. Other windows remains on.

3. TARGET=“_self” : Loads the document in the same window


where the anchor was {Clicked}. This is the default setting for
linking elements.

4. TARGET=“_parent” : the _parent frame is a prior frameset


that the current frameset was “spawned” from. If there isn’t
one it is the browser window. The document is loaded into the
area occupied by the columns or rows frameset containing the
frame that contains the link. The back is turned on. All
windows disappear.
Login360 118
If a frame contains the following link, then clicking the link
launches a new, unnamed browser display window that contains
the content defined in stuff.HTM. This can be a simple HTML
document, or an entirely new FRAMESET definition.
1. <A HREF="stuff.html" TARGET="_blank">
If a frame contains the following link, then clicking the link will
simply cause the frame which contains the link to clear, and its
content will be replaced with whatever is in stuff.htm.
2. <A HREF="stuff.html" TARGET="_self">
If a frame contains the following link, the frameset that contains
the frame that contains this link will be replaced by stuff.HTM.
3. <A HREF="stuff.html" TARGET="_parent">
Finally, if a frame contains the following link, clicking the link
replaces the entire browser window with the contents of
stuff.HTM.
4. <A HREF="stuff.html" TARGET="_top">
Login360 119
Targeting links to frames
The TARGET attribute allows you to specify the frame into which a page
is to be loaded into in a frames setting.

<A HREF=“chap1.html” TARGET=“_self”> [Chapter 1]</A>


<A HREF=“chap1.html” TARGET=“_parent”> [Chapter 2]</A>
