How the Web Works?
 WWW use classical client / server architecture
 HTTP is text-based request-response protocol

Page request
Client running a
Web Browser
Server runningWeb
Server Software
(IIS, Apache, etc.)
Server response

What is a Web Page?
 Web pages are text files containing HTML
 HTML – Hyper Text Markup Language
 A notation for describing
 document structure (semantic markup)
 formatting (presentation markup)
 Looks (looked?) like:
 A Microsoft Word document
 The markup tags provide information about
the page content structure
5

Creating HTML Pages
 An HTML file must have an .htm or .html file
extension
 HTML files can be created with text editors:
 NotePad, NotePad ++, PSPad
 Or HTML editors (WYSIWYG Editors):
 Microsoft FrontPage
 Macromedia Dreamweaver
 Netscape Composer
 Microsoft Word
 Visual Studio 6

HTML Basics
Text, Images,Tables, Forms

HTML Structure
 HTML is comprised of “elements” and “tags”
 Begins with <html> and ends with </html>
 Elements (tags) are nested one inside another:
 Tags have attributes:
 HTML describes structure using two main sections:
<head> and <body>
8
<html> <head></head> <body></body> </html>
<img src="logo.jpg" alt="logo" />

HTML Code Formatting
 The HTML source code should be formatted to
increase readability and facilitate debugging.
 Every block element should start on a new line.
 Every nested (block) element should be indented.
 Browsers ignore multiple whitespaces in the page
source, so formatting is harmless.
 For performance reasons, formatting can be
sacrificed

Tags Attributes
 Tags can have attributes
 Attributes specify properties and behavior
 Example:
 Few attributes can apply to every element:
 id, style, class, title
 The id is unique in the document
 Content of title attribute is displayed as hint
when the element is hovered with the mouse
 Some elements have obligatory attributes
17
Attribute alt with value "logo"

Headings and Paragraphs
 HeadingTags (h1 – h6)
 ParagraphTags
 Sections: div and span
18
<p>This is my first paragraph</p>
<p>This is my second paragraph</p>
<h1>Heading 1</h1>
<h2>Sub heading 2</h2>

Introduction to HTML
HTML Document Structure in Depth

Preface
 It is important to have the correct vision and
attitude towards HTML
 HTML is only about structure, not appearance
 Browsers tolerate invalid HTML code and parse
errors – you should not.
22

The <!DOCTYPE> Declaration
 HTML documents must start with a document
type definition (DTD)
 It tells web browsers what type is the served code
 Possible versions: HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0
(Transitional or Strict), XHTML 1.1, HTML 5
 Example:
 See http://w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html for a list
of possible doctypes
23
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

HTML vs. XHTML
 XHTML is more strict than HTML
 Tags and attribute names must be in lowercase
 All tags must be closed (<br/>, <img/>) while
HTML allows <br> and <img> and implies
missing closing tags (<p>par1 <p>par2)
 XHTML allows only one root <html> element
(HTML allows more than one)
24

XHTML vs. HTML (2)
 Many element attributes are deprecated in
XHTML, most are moved to CSS
 Attribute minimization is forbidden, e.g.
 Note:Web browsers load XHTML faster than
HTML and valid code faster than invalid!
25
<input type="checkbox" checked>
<input type="checkbox" checked="checked" />

The <head> Section
 Contains information that doesn’t show
directly on the viewable page
 Starts after the <!doctype> declaration
 Begins with <head> and ends with </head>
 Contains mandatory single <title> tag
 Can contain some other tags, e.g.
 <meta>
 <script>
 <style>
 <!–- comments --> 26

<head> Section: <title> tag
 Title should be placed between <head> and
</head> tags
 Used to specify a title in the window title bar
 Search engines and people rely on titles
27
<title>Telerik Academy – Winter Season 2009/2010
</title>

<head> Section: <meta>
 Meta tags additionally describe the content
contained within the page
28
<meta name="description" content="HTML
tutorial" />
<meta name="keywords" content="html, web
design, styles" />
<meta name="author" content="Chris Brewer" />
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;
url=http://www.telerik.com" />

<head> Section: <script>
 The <script> element is used to embed
scripts into an HTML document
 Script are executed in the client's Web browser
 Scripts can live in the <head> and in the <body>
sections
 Supported client-side scripting languages:
 JavaScript (it is not Java!)
 VBScript
 JScript
29

The <script>Tag – Example
30
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>JavaScript Example</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function sayHello() {
document.write("<p>Hello World!</p>");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type=
"text/javascript">
sayHello();
</script>
</body>
</html>
scripts-example.html

<head> Section: <style>
 The <style> element embeds formatting
information (CSS styles) into an HTML page
31
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
p { font-size: 12pt; line-height: 12pt; }
p:first-letter { font-size: 200%; }
span { text-transform: uppercase; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Styles demo.<br />
<span>Test uppercase</span>.
</p>
</body>
</html>
style-example.html

Comments: Tag
 Comments can exist anywhere between the
<html></html> tags
 Comments start with 
32
<!–- Telerik Logo (a JPG file) -->
<img src="logo.jpg" alt=“Telerik Logo">
<!–- Hyperlink to the web site -->

 Begins with <body> and ends with </body>
33
<html>
<head><title>Test page</title></head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

Text Formatting
 Text formatting tags modify the text between
the opening tag and the closing tag
 Ex. <b>Hello</b> makes “Hello” bold
<b></b> bold
<i></i> italicized

Using <DIV> and <SPAN>
Block and Inline Elements

Block and Inline Elements
 Block elements add a line break before and
after them
 <div> is a block element
 Other block elements are <table>, <hr>,
headings, lists, <p> and etc.
 Inline elements don’t break the text before
and after them
 <span> is an inline element
 Most HTML elements are inline, e.g. <a>
56

The <div>Tag
 <div> creates logical divisions within a page
 Block style element
 Used with CSS
 Example:
57
<div style="font-size:24px; color:red">DIV
example</div>
<p>This one is <span style="color:red; font-
weight:bold">only a test</span>.</p>
div-and-span.html

The <span>Tag
 Inline style element
 Useful for modifying a specific portion of text
 Don't create a separate area
(paragraph) in the document
 Very useful with CSS
58
<p>This one is <span style="color:red; font-
weight:bold">only a test</span>.</p>
<p>This one is another <span style="font-size:32px;
font-weight:bold">TEST</span>.</p>
span.html

HTMLTables
 Tables represent tabular data
 A table consists of one or several rows
 Each row has one or more columns
 Tables comprised of several core tags:
<table></table>: begin / end the table
<tr></tr>: create a table row
<td></td>: create tabular data (cell)
 Tables should not be used for layout. Use CSS
floats and positioning styles instead
60

HTMLTables (2)
 Start and end of a table
 Start and end of a row
 Start and end of a cell in a row
61
<table> ... </table>
<tr> ... </tr>
<td> ... </td>

Simple HTMLTables – Example
62
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td><img src="ppt.gif"></td>
<td><a href="lecture1.ppt">Lecture 1</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="zip.gif"></td>
<td><a href="lecture2-demos.zip">
Lecture 2 - Demos</a></td>
</tr>
</table>

<tr>
</tr>
<tr>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="zip.gif"></td>
<td><a href="lecture2-demos.zip">
Lecture 2 - Demos</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
Simple HTMLTables – Example (2)
63

Complete HTMLTables
 Table rows split into three semantic sections:
header, body and footer
 <thead> denotes table header and contains
<th> elements, instead of <td> elements
 <tbody> denotes collection of table rows that
contain the very data
 <tfoot> denotes table footer but comes
BEFORE the <tbody> tag
 <colgroup> and <col> define columns (most
often used to set column widths)
64

Complete HTMLTable: Example
65
<table>
<colgroup>
<col style="width:100px" /><col />
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr><th>Column 1</th><th>Column 2</th></tr>
</thead>
<tfoot>
<tr><td>Footer 1</td><td>Footer 2</td></tr>
</tfoot>
<tbody>
<tr><td>Cell 1.1</td><td>Cell 1.2</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
header
footer
Last comes the body (data)
th
columns

<table>
<colgroup>
<col style="width:200px" /><col />
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr><th>Column 1</th><th>Column 2</th></tr>
</thead>
<tfoot>
<tr><td>Footer 1</td><td>Footer 2</td></tr>
</tfoot>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
Complete HTMLTable:
Example (2)
66
table-full.html
Although the footer is
before the data in the
code, it is displayed last
By default, header text
is bold and centered.

NestedTables
 Table data “cells” (<td>) can contain nested
tables (tables within tables):
67
<table>
<tr>
<td>Contact:</td>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td>First Name</td>
<td>Last Name</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
nested-tables.html

 cellpadding
 Defines the empty
space around the cell
content
 cellspacing
 Defines the
empty space
between cells
Cell Spacing and Padding
 Tables have two important attributes:
68
cell cell
cell cell
cell
cell
cell
cell

Cell Spacing and Padding –
Example
69
<html>
<head><title>Table Cells</title></head>
<body>
<tr><td>First</td>
<td>Second</td></tr>
</table>
<br/>
<tr><td>First</td><td>Second</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
table-cells.html

Cell Spacing and Padding –
Example (2)
70
<html>
<head><title>Table Cells</title></head>
<body>
<tr><td>First</td>
<td>Second</td></tr>
</table>
<br/>
<tr><td>First</td><td>Second</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
table-cells.html

 rowspan
 Defines how
many rows the
cell occupies
 colspan
 Defines how
many columns
the cell occupies
Column and Row Span
 Table cells have two important attributes:
71
cell[1,1] cell[1,2]
cell[2,1]
colspan="1"colspan="1"
colspan="2"
cell[1,1]
cell[1,2]
cell[2,1]
rowspan="2" rowspan="1"
rowspan="1"

Column and Row Span – Example
72
<table cellspacing="0">
<tr class="1"><td>Cell[1,1]</td>
<td colspan="2">Cell[2,1]</td></tr>
<tr class=“2"><td>Cell[1,2]</td>
<td rowspan="2">Cell[2,2]</td>
<td>Cell[3,2]</td></tr>
</table>
table-colspan-rowspan.html

<table cellspacing="0">
<tr class="1"><td>Cell[1,1]</td>
<td colspan="2">Cell[2,1]</td></tr>
<td rowspan="2">Cell[2,2]</td>
</table>
Column and Row Span –
Example (2)
73
table-colspan-rowspan.html
Cell[2,3]Cell[1,3]
Cell[3,2]
Cell[2,2]

HTML Forms
Entering User Data from a Web Page

HTML Forms
 Forms are the primary method for gathering
data from site visitors
 Create a form block with
 Example:
75
<form></form>
<form name="myForm" method="post"
action="path/to/some-script.php">
...
</form>
The "action" attribute tells where
the form data should be sent
The “method" attribute tells how
the form data should be sent –
via GET or POST request

Form Fields
 Single-line text input fields:
 Multi-line textarea fields:
 Hidden fields contain data not shown to the user:
 Often used by JavaScript code
76
<input type="text" name="FirstName" value="This
is a text field" />
<textarea name="Comments">This is a multi-line
text field</textarea>
<input type="hidden" name="Account" value="This
is a hidden text field" />

Fieldsets
 Fieldsets are used to enclose a group of related
form fields:
 The <legend> is the fieldset's title.
77
<form method="post" action="form.aspx">
<fieldset>
<legend>Client Details</legend>
<input type="text" id="Name" />
<input type="text" id="Phone" />
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<legend>Order Details</legend>
<input type="text" id="Quantity" />
<textarea cols="40" rows="10"
id="Remarks"></textarea>
</fieldset>
</form>

Form Input Controls
 Checkboxes:
 Radio buttons:
 Radio buttons can be grouped, allowing only one
to be selected from a group:
78
<input type="checkbox" name="fruit"
value="apple" />
<input type="radio" name="title" value="Mr." />
<input type="radio" name="city" value="Lom" />
<input type="radio" name="city" value="Ruse" />

Other Form Controls
 Dropdown menus:
 Submit button:
79
<select name="gender">
<option value="Value 1"
selected="selected">Male</option>
<option value="Value 2">Female</option>
<option value="Value 3">Other</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="submitBtn"
value="Apply Now" />

Other Form Controls (2)
 Reset button – brings the form to its initial state
 Image button – acts like submit but image is
displayed and click coordinates are sent
 Ordinary button – used for Javascript, no default
action
80
<input type="reset" name="resetBtn"
value="Reset the form" />
<input type="image" src="submit.gif"
name="submitBtn" alt="Submit" />
<input type="button" value="click me" />

 Password input – a text field which masks the
entered text with * signs
 Multiple select field – displays the list of items in
multiple lines, instead of one
81
<input type="password" name="pass" />
<select name="products" multiple="multiple">
<option value="Value 1"
selected="selected">keyboard</option>
<option value="Value 2">mouse</option>
<option value="Value 3">speakers</option>
</select>

 File input – a field used for uploading files
 When used, it requires the form element to have a
specific attribute:
82
<input type="file" name="photo" />
<form enctype="multipart/form-data">
...
<input type="file" name="photo" />
...
</form>

Labels
 Form labels are used to associate an explanatory
text to a form field using the field's ID.
 Clicking on a label focuses its associated field
(checkboxes are toggled, radio buttons are
checked)
 Labels are both a usability and accessibility
feature and are required in order to pass
accessibility validation.
83
<label for="fn">First Name</label>
<input type="text" id="fn" />

HTML Forms – Example (3)
86

TabIndex
 The tabindex HTML attribute controls the
order in which form fields and hyperlinks are
focused when repeatedly pressing theTAB key
 tabindex="0" (zero) - "natural" order
 If X >Y, then elements with tabindex="X" are
iterated before elements with tabindex="Y"
 Elements with negative tabindex are skipped,
however, this is not defined in the standard
87
<input type="text" tabindex="10" />

HTML Frames
<frameset>, <frame> and <iframe>

HTML Frames
 Frames provide a way to show multiple HTML
documents in a single Web page
 The page can be split into separate views
(frames) horizontally and vertically
 Frames were popular in the early ages of HTML
development, but now their usage is rejected
 Frames are not supported by all user agents
(browsers, search engines, etc.)
 A <noframes> element is used to provide
content for non-compatible agents.
89

HTML Frames – Demo

frames.html
 Note the target attribute applied to the
<a> elements in the left frame.

Inline Frames: <iframe>
 Inline frames provide a way to show one
website inside another website:

CSS Intro
Styling with Cascading Stylesheets

CSS Introduction
 Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
 Used to describe the presentation of documents
 Define sizes, spacing, fonts, colors, layout, etc.
 Improve content accessibility
 Improve flexibility
 Designed to separate presentation from content
 Due to CSS, all HTML presentation tags and
attributes are deprecated, e.g. font, center, etc.
97

CSS Introduction (2)
 CSS can be applied to any XML document
 Not just to HTML / XHTML
 CSS can specify different styles for different
media
 On-screen
 In print
 Handheld, projection, etc.
 … even by voice or Braille-based reader
98

Why “Cascading”?
 Priority scheme determining which style rules
apply to element
 Cascade priorities or specificity (weight) are
calculated and assigned to the rules
 Child elements in the HTML DOM tree inherit
styles from their parent
 Can override them
 Control via !important rule
99

Why “Cascading”? (3)
 Some CSS styles are inherited and some not
 Text-related and list-related properties are
inherited - color, font-size, font-family,
line-height, text-align, list-style, etc
 Box-related and positioning styles are not
inherited - width, height, border, margin,
padding, position, float, etc
 <a> elements do not inherit color and text-
decoration
101

Style Sheets Syntax
 Stylesheets consist of rules, selectors,
declarations, properties and values
 Selectors are separated by commas
 Declarations are separated by semicolons
 Properties and values are separated by colons
102
h1,h2,h3 { color: green; font-weight: bold; }
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/

Selectors
 Selectors determine which element the rule
applies to:
 All elements of specific type (tag)
 Those that mach a specific attribute (id, class)
 Elements may be matched depending on how
they are nested in the document tree (HTML)
 Examples:
103
.header a { color: green }
#menu>li { padding-top: 8px }

Selectors (2)
 Three primary kinds of selectors:
 By tag (type selector):
 By element id:
 By element class name (only for HTML):
 Selectors can be combined with commas:
This will match <h1> tags, elements with class
link, and element with id top-link
104
h1 { font-family: verdana,sans-serif; }
#element_id { color: #ff0000; }
.myClass {border: 1px solid red}
h1, .link, #top-link {font-weight: bold}

Selectors (3)
 Pseudo-classes define state
 :hover, :visited, :active , :lang
 Pseudo-elements define element "parts" or are
used to generate content
 :first-line , :before, :after
105
a:hover { color: red; }
p:first-line { text-transform: uppercase; }
.title:before { content: "»"; }
.title:after { content: "«"; }

Selectors (4)
 Match relative to element placement:
This will match all <a> tags that are inside of <p>
 * – universal selector (avoid or use with care!):
This will match all descendants of <p> element
 + selector – used to match “next sibling”:
This will match all siblings with class name link
that appear immediately after <img> tag 106
p a {text-decoration: underline}
p * {color: black}
img + .link {float:right}

Selectors (5)
 > selector – matches direct child nodes:
This will match all elements with class error, direct
children of <p> tag
 [ ] – matches tag attributes by regular expression:
This will match all <img> tags with alt attribute
containing the word logo
 .class1.class2 (no space) - matches elements
with both (all) classes applied at the same time
107
p > .error {font-size: 8px}
img[alt~=logo] {border: none}

Values in the CSS Rules
 Colors are set in RGB format (decimal or hex):
 Example: #a0a6aa = rgb(160, 166, 170)
 Predefined color aliases exist: black, blue, etc.
 Numeric values are specified in:
 Pixels, ems, e.g. 12px , 1.4em
 Points, inches, centimeters, millimeters
 E.g. 10pt , 1in, 1cm, 1mm
 Percentages, e.g. 50%
 Percentage of what?...
 Zero can be used with no unit: border: 0;
108

Default Browser Styles
 Browsers have default CSS styles
 Used when there is no CSS information or any
other style information in the document
 Caution: default styles differ in browsers
 E.g. margins, paddings and font sizes differ
most often and usually developers reset them
109
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
body, h1, p, ul, li { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

Linking HTML and CSS
 HTML (content) and CSS (presentation) can be
linked in three ways:
 Inline: the CSS rules in the style attribute
 No selectors are needed
 Embedded: in the <head> in a <style> tag
 External: CSS rules in separate file (best)
 Usually a file with .css extension
 Linked via <link rel="stylesheet" href=…> tag
or @import directive in embedded CSS block
110

Linking HTML and CSS (2)
 Using external files is highly recommended
 Simplifies the HTML document
 Improves page load speed as the CSS file is
cached
111

Inline Styles: Example
112

<p style="font-size: 20pt;color:
#0000FF" >Even more text</p>
</body>
</html>
inline-styles.html

CSS Cascade (Precedence)
 There are browser, user and author stylesheets
with "normal" and "important" declarations
 Browser styles (least priority)
 Normal user styles
 Normal author styles (external, in head, inline)
 Important author styles
 Important user styles (max priority)
114
a { color: red !important ; }
http://www.slideshare.net/maxdesign/css-cascade-1658158

CSS Specificity
 CSS specificity is used to determine the
precedence of CSS style declarations with the
same origin. Selectors are what matters
 Simple calculation: #id = 100, .class = 10,
:pseudo = 10, [attr] = 10, tag = 1, * = 0
 Same number of points? Order matters.
 See also:

you-should-know/
 http://css.maxdesign.com.au/selectutorial/advanced_conflict.htm
115

Embedded Styles
 Embedded in the HTML in the <style> tag:
 The <style> tag is placed in the <head>
section of the document
 type attribute specifies the MIME type
 MIME describes the format of the content
 Other MIME types include text/html,
image/gif, text/javascript …
 Used for document-specific styles
116

External CSS Styles
 External linking
 Separate pages can all use a shared style sheet
 Only modify a single file to change the styles across
your entire Web site (see http://www.csszengarden.com/)
 link tag (with a rel attribute)
 Specifies a relationship between current document
and another document
 link elements should be in the <head>
120
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="styles.css">

External CSS Styles (2)
@import
 Another way to link external CSS files
 Example:
 Ancient browsers do not recognize @import
 Use @import in an external CSS file to
workaround the IE 32 CSS file limit
121
@import url("styles.css");
/* same as */
@import "styles.css";
</style>

External Styles: Example
122
/* CSS Document */
a { text-decoration: none }
a:hover { text-decoration: underline;
color: red;
background-color: #CCFFCC }
li em { color: red;
font-weight: bold }
ul { margin-left: 2cm }
ul ul { text-decoration: underline;
margin-left: .5cm }

Text-related CSS Properties
 color – specifies the color of the text
 font-size – size of font: xx-small, x-small,
small, medium, large, x-large, xx-large,
smaller, larger or numeric value
 font-family – comma separated font names
 Example: verdana, sans-serif, etc.
 The browser loads the first one that is available
 There should always be at least one generic font
 font-weight can be normal, bold, bolder,
lighter or a number in range [100 … 900]
126

CSS Rules for Fonts (2)
 font-style – styles the font
 Values: normal, italic, oblique
 text-decoration – decorates the text
 Values: none, underline, line-trough,
overline, blink
 text-align – defines the alignment of text or
other content
 Values: left, right, center, justify
127

Shorthand Font Property
 font
 Shorthand rule for setting multiple font
properties at the same time
is equal to writing this:
128
font:italic normal bold 12px/16px verdana
font-style: italic;
font-variant: normal;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 16px;
font-family: verdana;

Backgrounds
 background-image
 URL of image to be used as background, e.g.:
 background-color
 Using color and image and the same time
 background-repeat
 repeat-x, repeat-y, repeat, no-repeat
 background-attachment
 fixed / scroll
129
background-image:url("back.gif");

Backgrounds (2)
 background-position: specifies vertical and
horizontal position of the background image
 Vertical position: top, center, bottom
 Horizontal position: left, center, right
 Both can be specified in percentage or other
numerical values
 Examples:
130
background-position: top left;
background-position: -5px 50%;

Background Shorthand Property
 background: shorthand rule for setting
background properties at the same time:
is equal to writing:
 Some browsers will not apply BOTH color and
image for background if using shorthand rule
131
background: #FFF0C0 url("back.gif") no-repeat
fixed top;
background-color: #FFF0C0;
background-image: url("back.gif");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: top;

Background-image or <img>?
 Background images allow you to save many
image tags from the HTML
 Leads to less code
 More content-oriented approach
 All images that are not part of the page
content (and are used only for "beautification")
should be moved to the CSS
132

Borders
 border-width: thin, medium, thick or
numerical value (e.g. 10px)
 border-color: color alias or RGB value
 border-style: none, hidden, dotted,
dashed, solid, double, groove, ridge,
inset, outset
 Each property can be defined separately for
left, top, bottom and right
 border-top-style, border-left-color, …
133

Border Shorthand Property
 border: shorthand rule for setting border
properties at once:
is equal to writing:
 Specify different borders for the sides via
shorthand rules: border-top, border-left,
border-right, border-bottom
 When to avoid border:0 134
border: 1px solid red
border-width:1px;
border-color:red;
border-style:solid;

Width and Height
 width – defines numerical value for the width
of element, e.g. 200px
 height – defines numerical value for the
height of element, e.g. 100px
 By default the height of an element is defined
by its content
 Inline elements do not apply height, unless you
change their display style.
135

Margin and Padding
 margin and padding define the spacing
around the element
 Numerical value, e.g. 10px or -5px
 Can be defined for each of the four sides
separately - margin-top, padding-left, …
 margin is the spacing outside of the border
 padding is the spacing between the border and
the content
 What are collapsing margins?
136

Margin and Padding: Short Rules
 margin: 5px;
 Sets all four sides to have margin of 5 px;
 margin: 10px 20px;
 top and bottom to 10px, left and right to 20px;
 margin: 5px 3px 8px;
 top 5px, left/right 3px, bottom 8px
 margin: 1px 3px 5px 7px;
 top, right, bottom, left (clockwise from top)
 Same for padding
137

IE Quirks Mode
 When using quirks
mode (pages with no
DOCTYPE or with a
HTML 4Transitional
DOCTYPE), Internet
Explorer violates the
box model standard
139

Positioning
 position: defines the positioning of the
element in the page content flow
 The value is one of:
 static (default)
 relative – relative position according to where
the element would appear with static position
 absolute – position according to the innermost
positioned parent element
 fixed – same as absolute, but ignores page
scrolling
140

Positioning (2)
 MarginVS relative positioning
 Fixed and absolutely positioned elements do
not influence the page normal flow and usually
stay on top of other elements
 Their position and size is ignored when
calculating the size of parent element or
position of surrounding elements
 Overlaid according to their z-index
 Inline fixed or absolutely positioned elements
can apply height like block-level elements
141

Positioning (3)
 top, left, bottom, right: specifies offset of
absolute/fixed/relative positioned element as
numerical values
 z-index : specifies the stack level of
positioned elements
 Understanding stacking context
142
Each positioned element creates a stacking
context.
Elements in different stacking contexts are
overlapped according to the stacking order of
their containers. For example, there is no way
for #A1 and #A2 (children of #A) to be placed
over #B without increasing the z-index of #A.

Inline element positioning
 vertical-align: sets the vertical-alignment
of an inline element, according to the line
height
 Values: baseline, sub, super, top, text-top,
middle, bottom, text-bottom or numeric
 Also used for content of table cells (which apply
middle alignment by default)
143

Float
 float: the element “floats” to one side
 left: places the element on the left and
following content on the right
 right: places the element on the right and
following content on the left
 floated elements should come before the
content that will wrap around them in the code
 margins of floated elements do not collapse
 floated inline elements can apply height
144

Float (2)
 How floated elements are positioned
145

Clear
 clear
 Sets the sides of the element where other
floating elements are NOT allowed
 Used to "drop" elements below floated ones or
expand a container, which contains only floated
children
 Possible values: left, right, both
 Clearing floats
 additional element (<div>) with a clear style
146

Clear (2)
 Clearing floats (continued)
 :after { content: ""; display: block;
clear: both; height: 0; }
 Triggering hasLayout in IE expands a container
of floated elements
 display: inline-block;
 zoom: 1;
147

Opacity
 opacity: specifies the opacity of the element
 Floating point number from 0 to 1
 For old Mozilla browsers use –moz-opacity
 For IE use filter:alpha(opacity=value)
where value is from 0 to 100; also, "binary and
script behaviors" must be enabled and
hasLayout must be triggered, e.g. with zoom:1
148

Visibility
 visibility
 Determines whether the element is visible
 hidden: element is not rendered, but still
occupies place on the page (similar to
opacity:0)
 visible: element is rendered normally
149

Display
 display: controls the display of the element
and the way it is rendered and if breaks should
be placed before and after the element
 inline: no breaks are placed before and after
(<span> is an inline element)
 block: breaks are placed before AND after the
element (<div> is a block element)
150

Display (2)
 display: controls the display of the element
and the way it is rendered and if breaks should
be placed before and after the element
 none: element is hidden and its dimensions are
not used to calculate the surrounding elements
rendering (differs from visibility: hidden!)
 There are some more possible values, but not
all browsers support them
 Specific displays like table-cell and table-row
151

Overflow
 overflow: defines the behavior of element when
content needs more space than you have specified by
the size properties or for other reasons.Values:
 visible (default) – content spills out of the
element
 auto - show scrollbars if needed
 scroll – always show scrollbars
 hidden – any content that cannot fit is clipped
152

Other CSS Properties
 cursor: specifies the look of the mouse cursor
when placed over the element
 Values: crosshair, help, pointer,
progress, move, hair, col-resize, row-
resize, text, wait, copy, drop, and others
 white-space – controls the line breaking of
text.Value is one of:
 nowrap – keeps the text on one line
 normal (default) – browser decides whether to
brake the lines if needed
153

Benefits of using CSS
 More powerful formatting than using
presentation tags
 Your pages load faster, because browsers
cache the .css files
 Increased accessibility, because rules can be
defined according given media
 Pages are easier to maintain and update

DHTML
Dynamic Behavior at the Client Side

What is DHTML?
 Dynamic HTML (DHTML)
 Makes possible a Web page to react and change
in response to the user’s actions
 DHTML = HTML + CSS + JavaScript
164
DHTML
XHTML CSS JavaScript DOM

DTHML = HTML + CSS + JavaScript
 HTML defines Web sites content through
semantic tags (headings, paragraphs, lists, …)
 CSS defines 'rules' or 'styles' for presenting
every aspect of an HTML document
 Font (family, size, color, weight, etc.)
 Background (color, image, position, repeat)
 Position and layout (of any object on the page)
 JavaScript defines dynamic behavior
 Programming logic for interaction with the
user, to handle events, etc.
165

JavaScript
Dynamic Behavior in a Web Page

JavaScript
 JavaScript is a front-end scripting language
developed by Netscape for dynamic content
 Lightweight, but with limited capabilities
 Can be used as object-oriented language
 Client-side technology
 Embedded in your HTML page
 Interpreted by theWeb browser
 Simple and flexible
 Powerful to manipulate the DOM
167

JavaScript Advantages
 JavaScript allows interactivity such as:
 Implementing form validation
 React to user actions, e.g. handle keys
 Changing an image on moving mouse over it
 Sections of a page appearing and disappearing
 Content loading and changing dynamically
 Performing complex calculations
 Custom HTML controls, e.g. scrollable table
 Implementing AJAX functionality
168

What Can JavaScript Do?
 Can handle events
 Can read and write HTML elements and
modify the DOM tree
 Can validate form data
 Can access / modify browser cookies
 Can detect the user’s browser and OS
 Can be used as object-oriented language
 Can handle exceptions
 Can perform asynchronous server calls (AJAX)
169

The First Script
first-script.html
170
<html>
<body>
alert('Hello JavaScript!');
</script>
</body>
</html>

Another Small Example
small-example.html
171
<html>
<body>
document.write('JavaScript rulez!');
</script>
</body>
</html>

Using JavaScript Code
 The JavaScript code can be placed in:
 <script> tag in the head
 <script> tag in the body – not recommended
 External files, linked via <script> tag the head
 Files usually have .js extension
 Highly recommended
 The .js files get cached by the browser
172
<script src="scripts.js" type="text/javscript">
<!– code placed here will not be executed! -->
</script>

JavaScript – When is Executed?
 JavaScript code is executed during the page
loading or when the browser fires an event
 All statements are executed at page loading
 Some statements just define functions that can
be called later
 Function calls or code can be attached as
"event handlers" via tag attributes
 Executed when the event is fired by the browser
173
<img src="logo.gif" onclick="alert('clicked!')" />

<html>
<head>
function test (message) {
alert(message);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<img src="logo.gif"
onclick="test('clicked!')" />
</body>
</html>
Calling a JavaScript Function
from Event Handler – Example
image-onclick.html
174

Using External Script Files
 Using external script files:
 External JavaScript file:
175
<html>
<head>
<script src="sample.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="sample()" value="Call JavaScript
function from sample.js" />
</body>
</html>
function sample() {
alert('Hello from sample.js!')
}
external-JavaScript.html
sample.js
The <script> tag is always empty.

JavaScript Syntax
 The JavaScript syntax is similar to C# and Java
 Operators (+, *, =, !=, &&, ++, …)
 Variables (typeless)
 Conditional statements (if, else)
 Loops (for, while)
 Arrays (my_array[]) and associative arrays
(my_array['abc'])
 Functions (can return value)
 Function variables (like the C# delegates)
177

DataTypes
 JavaScript data types:
 Numbers (integer, floating-point)
 Boolean (true / false)
 String type – string of characters
 Arrays
 Associative arrays (hash tables)
178
var myName = "You can use both single or double
quotes for strings";
var my_array = [1, 5.3, "aaa"];
var my_hash = {a:2, b:3, c:"text"};

Everything is Object
 Every variable can be considered as object
 For example strings and arrays have member
functions:
179
var test = "some string";
alert(test[7]); // shows letter 'r'
alert(test.charAt(5)); // shows letter 's'
alert("test".charAt(1)); //shows letter 'e'
alert("test".substring(1,3)); //shows 'es'
var arr = [1,3,4];
alert (arr.length); // shows 3
arr.push(7); // appends 7 to end of array
alert (arr[3]); // shows 7
objects.html

String Operations
 The + operator joins strings
 What is "9" + 9?
 Converting string to number:
180
string1 = "fat ";
string2 = "cats";
alert(string1 + string2); // fat cats
alert("9" + 9); // 99
alert(parseInt("9") + 9); // 18

Arrays Operations and Properties
 Declaring new empty array:
 Declaring an array holding few elements:
 Appending an element / getting the last element:
 Reading the number of elements (array length):
 Finding element's index in the array:
181
var arr = new Array();
var arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
arr.push(3);
var element = arr.pop();
arr.length;
arr.indexOf(1);

Standard Popup Boxes
 Alert box with text and [OK] button
 Just a message shown in a dialog box:
 Confirmation box
 Contains text, [OK] button and [Cancel] button:
 Prompt box
 Contains text, input field with default value:
182
alert("Some text here");
confirm("Are you sure?");
prompt ("enter amount", 10);

Sum of Numbers – Example
sum-of-numbers.html
183
<html>
<head>
<title>JavaScript Demo</title>
function calcSum() {
value1 =
parseInt(document.mainForm.textBox1.value);
value2 =
parseInt(document.mainForm.textBox2.value);
sum = value1 + value2;
document.mainForm.textBoxSum.value = sum;
}
</script>
</head>

Sum of Numbers – Example (2)
sum-of-numbers.html (cont.)
184
<body>
<form name="mainForm">
<input type="text" name="textBox1" /> <br/>
<input type="text" name="textBox2" /> <br/>
<input type="button" value="Process"
onclick="javascript: calcSum()" />
<input type="text" name="textBoxSum"
readonly="readonly"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

JavaScript Prompt – Example
prompt.html
185
price = prompt("Enter the price", "10.00");
alert('Price + VAT = ' + price * 1.2);

Greater than
<=
Symbol Meaning
>
< Less than
>= Greater than or equal to
Less than or equal to
== Equal
!= Not equal
Conditional Statement (if)
186
unitPrice = 1.30;
if (quantity > 100) {
unitPrice = 1.20;
}

Conditional Statement (if) (2)
 The condition may be of Boolean or integer type:
187
var a = 0;
var b = true;
if (typeof(a)=="undefined" || typeof(b)=="undefined") {
document.write("Variable a or b is undefined.");
}
else if (!a && b) {
document.write("a==0; b==true;");
} else {
document.write("a==" + a + "; b==" + b + ";");
}
conditional-statements.html

Switch Statement
 The switch statement works like in C#:
188
switch (variable) {
case 1:
// do something
break;
case 'a':
// do something else
break;
case 3.14:
// another code
break;
default:
// something completely different
}
switch-statements.html

Loops
 Like in C#
 for loop
 while loop
 do … while loop
189
var counter;
for (counter=0; counter<4; counter++) {
alert(counter);
}
while (counter < 5) {
alert(++counter);
} loops.html

Functions
 Code structure – splitting code into parts
 Data comes in, processed, result returned
190
function average(a, b, c)
{
var total;
total = a+b+c;
return total/3;
}
Parameters come
in here.
Declaring variables
is optional.Type is
never declared.
Value returned
here.

Function Arguments
and ReturnValue
 Functions are not required to return a value
 When calling function it is not obligatory to
specify all of its arguments
 The function has access to all the arguments
passed via arguments array
191
function sum() {
var sum = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i ++)
sum += parseInt(arguments[i]);
return sum;
}
alert(sum(1, 2, 4)); functions-demo.html

Document Object Model (DOM)
 Every HTML element is accessible via the
JavaScript DOM API
 Most DOM objects can be manipulated by the
programmer
 The event model lets a document to react when
the user does something on the page
 Advantages
 Create interactive pages
 Updates the objects of a page without reloading it
193

Accessing Elements
 Access elements via their ID attribute
 Via the name attribute
 Via tag name
 Returns array of descendant <img> elements of
the element "el"
194
var elem = document.getElementById("some_id")
var arr = document.getElementsByName("some_name")
var imgTags = el.getElementsByTagName("img")

DOM Manipulation
 Once we access an element, we can read and
write its attributes
195
function change(state) {
var lampImg = document.getElementById("lamp");
lampImg.src = "lamp_" + state + ".png";
var statusDiv =
document.getElementById("statusDiv");
statusDiv.innerHTML = "The lamp is " + state";
}
…
<img src="test_on.gif" onmouseover="change('off')"
onmouseout="change('on')" />
DOM-manipulation.html

Common Element Properties
 Most of the properties are derived from the
HTML attributes of the tag
 E.g. id, name, href, alt, title, src, etc…
 style property – allows modifying the CSS
styles of the element
 Corresponds to the inline style of the element
 Not the properties derived from embedded or
external CSS rules
 Example: style.width, style.marginTop,
style.backgroundImage
196

Common Element Properties (2)
 className – the class attribute of the tag
 innerHTML – holds all the entire HTML code
inside the element
 Read-only properties with information for the
current element and its state
 tagName, offsetWidth, offsetHeight,
scrollHeight, scrollTop, nodeType, etc…
197

Accessing Elements through
the DOMTree Structure
 We can access elements in the DOM through
some tree manipulation properties:
 element.childNodes
 element.parentNode
 element.nextSibling
 element.previousSibling
 element.firstChild
 element.lastChild
198

Accessing Elements through
the DOMTree – Example
 Warning: may not return what you expected
due to Browser differences
199
var el = document.getElementById('div_tag');
alert (el.childNodes[0].value);
alert (el.childNodes[1].
getElementsByTagName('span').id);
…
<div id="div_tag">
<input type="text" value="test text" />
<div>
<span id="test">test span</span>
</div>
</div> accessing-elements-demo.html

The HTML DOM Event Model
 JavaScript can register event handlers
 Events are fired by the Browser and are sent to
the specified JavaScript event handler function
 Can be set with HTML attributes:
 Can be accessed through the DOM:
201
<img src="test.gif" onclick="imageClicked()" />
var img = document.getElementById("myImage");
img.onclick = imageClicked;

The HTML DOM Event Model (2)
 All event handlers receive one parameter
 It brings information about the event
 Contains the type of the event (mouse click, key
press, etc.)
 Data about the location where the event has
been fired (e.g. mouse coordinates)
 Holds a reference to the event sender
 E.g. the button that was clicked
202

The HTML DOM Event Model (3)
 Holds information about the state of [Alt], [Ctrl]
and [Shift] keys
 Some browsers do not send this object, but
place it in the document.event
 Some of the names of the event’s object
properties are browser-specific
203

Common DOM Events
 Mouse events:
 onclick, onmousedown, onmouseup
 onmouseover, onmouseout, onmousemove
 Key events:
 onkeypress, onkeydown, onkeyup
 Only for input fields
 Interface events:
 onblur, onfocus
 onscroll
204

Common DOM Events (2)
 Form events
 onchange – for input fields
 onsubmit
 Allows you to cancel a form submission
 Useful for form validation
 Miscellaneous events
 onload, onunload
 Allowed only for the <body> element
 Fires when all content on the page was loaded /
unloaded 205

onload Event – Example
 onload event
206
<html>
<head>
function greet() {
alert("Loaded.");
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="greet()" >
</body>
</html>
onload.html

Built-in Browser Objects
 The browser provides some read-only data via:
 window
 The top node of the DOM tree
 Represents the browser's window
 document
 holds information the current loaded document
 screen
 Holds the user’s display properties
 browser
 Holds information about the browser
208

DOM Hierarchy – Example
209
window
navigator screen document history location
form
button form
form

Opening New Window – Example
 window.open()
210
var newWindow = window.open("", "sampleWindow",
"width=300, height=100, menubar=yes,
status=yes, resizable=yes");
newWindow.document.write(
"<html><head><title>
Sample Title</title>
</head><body><h1>Sample
Text</h1></body>");
newWindow.status =
"Hello folks";
window-open.html

The Navigator Object
211
alert(window.navigator.userAgent);
The navigator in the
browser window
The userAgent
(browser ID)
The browser
window

The Screen Object
 The screen object contains information about
the display
212
window.moveTo(0, 0);
x = screen.availWidth;
y = screen.availHeight;
window.resizeTo(x, y);

Document and Location
 document object
 Provides some built-in arrays of specific objects
on the currently loaded Web page
 document.location
 Used to access the currently open URL or
redirect the browser
213
document.links[0].href = "yahoo.com";
document.write(
"This is some <b>bold text</b>");
document.location = "http://www.yahoo.com/";

FormValidation – Example
214
function checkForm()
{
var valid = true;
if (document.mainForm.firstName.value == "") {
alert("Please type in your first name!");
document.getElementById("firstNameError").
style.display = "inline";
valid = false;
}
return valid;
}
…
<form name="mainForm" onsubmit="return checkForm()">
<input type="text" name="firstName" />
…
</form>
form-validation.html

The Math Object
 The Math object provides some mathematical
functions
215
for (i=1; i<=20; i++) {
var x = Math.random();
x = 10*x + 1;
x = Math.floor(x);
document.write(
"Random number (" +
i + ") in range " +
"1..10 --> " + x +
"<br/>");
}
math.html

The Date Object
 The Date object provides date / calendar
functions
216
var now = new Date();
var result = "It is now " + now;
document.getElementById("timeField")
.innerText = result;
...
<p id="timeField"></p>
dates.html

Timers: setTimeout()
 Make something happen (once) after a fixed
delay
217
var timer = setTimeout('bang()', 5000);
clearTimeout(timer);
5 seconds after this statement
executes, this function is called
Cancels the timer

Timers: setInterval()
 Make something happen repeatedly at fixed
intervals
218
var timer = setInterval('clock()', 1000);
clearInterval(timer);
This function is called
continuously per 1 second.
Stop the timer.

Timer – Example
219
function timerFunc() {
var now = new Date();
var hour = now.getHours();
var min = now.getMinutes();
var sec = now.getSeconds();
document.getElementById("clock").value =
"" + hour + ":" + min + ":" + sec;
}
setInterval('timerFunc()', 1000);
</script>
<input type="text" id="clock" />
timer-demo.html

Debugging JavaScript
 Modern browsers have JavaScript console
where errors in scripts are reported
 Errors may differ across browsers
 Several tools to debug JavaScript
 Microsoft Script Editor
 Add-on for Internet Explorer
 Supports breakpoints, watches
 JavaScript statement debugger; opens the script
editor
221
