Hyper Text Markup Language

HTML Basics

Hypertext Markup Language is the language of the World Wide Web. HTML consists oftags that create the formatting on a home page as well as the links and the placement ofgraphics. It is similar to old fashioned word processors that required special codes tocreate bold or underlined text when a file was printed. With a dozen or so tags, you cancreate very functional, attractive home pages!

Before becoming acquainted with the tags themselves, here are some general backgroundconcepts you need to know:

Tags must be enclosed in angle brackets like this: <>.

Tags aren't case sensitive. <BODY> is identical to <bOdy>

Most tags have a beginning tag and an ending tag that includes a / (slash).<body> is the beginning tag and </body> is the ending tag.

All text you want to be affected must be enclosed by a beginning and endingtag. <b>Here is bolded text</b> will appear like this: Here is bolded text

A good way to learn how HTML tags work is to look at the source code usedfor home pages while you surf the Web. In Netscape you can see the sourcecode by selecting View->Document Source.

Commonly Used HTML Tags

Here is a list of the most commonly used HTML tags for creating home pages

Structural TagsBeginning Tag Ending Tag Tag Function<HTML> </HTML> Starts/ends a document

Hints for applying the <A> Hyper-Link Tags

With the <A> tag, you'll usually use HREF followed by a URL with quotation marksaround it. For example, the following would create a "hot link" to the Yahoo homepage.

<A HREF="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</A>

In this example, the Hypertext REFerence is given inside the <A> tag and theword Yahoo becomes the underlined hot link on your home page.

The <A BREF="file_name"> tag is how you link another local home page to yourmain home page. For example, if you wanted to create a course home page with linksto home work assignments, the tag might look like this:

<A HREF="assign.htm">Course Assignments</A> - the file is called assign.htm andthe hot link on your home page appears as Course Assignments.

The <A HREF="#link_target"> is used to make links within your home page. Thisallows people to jump around in your page without having to scroll too much. I call ita "quick scroll" tag. It is always paired with a <a name="target tag">.

Hints for applying the <1MG SRC> Graphics Tag

Two graphic file formats are used on the WWW. One of them is gif (pronounced likethe peanut butter Jif) and the other is jpg or jpeg. Jpg format is best for photographsand gif is best when you have large areas with the same color.

With the <1MG SRC> tag you'll usually add the name of the image file (withquotation marks around it) after the tag.

<IMG SRC="logo.gif'>

You can also link to a remote graphic. That is, you can use the URL for the locationof the graphic file and it will still display on your home page.

<IMG SRC="http://www.fau.edu/student/chemclub/dave/images/cy_bar.gir>

This method insures that you don't violate copyright, but if the original file isdeleted or changed, your graphic will change as well.

You can use a graphic as a "hot link", too.

<A BREF="http://nsccux.sccd.ctc.edur><IMG SRC="logo.gif'></A> wouldmake the graphic called "logo.gif' a hot link and when selected it would take theviewer back to the North Seattle home page.

Creating and Testing your Home Page Files

Creating your home page files

You MUST do the following in order to insure your home page will work on the WorldWide Web.

1. Use a text editor like Notepad (Windows) or Simple Text (Mac) to create your homepage files. (You can use a word processor, but if you save your file as a Word orWord Perfect file, it will be ruined for the Web.)

2. You must save the files as text files with a "file extension" of .htm (Windows) or.html (Mac).

3. Check with your Web administrator about special naming conventions for your homepage files. Here at Seattle Community College, we must name our main home page fileindex.html when we copy it to our Web server. Other systems may require other filenames, though.

4. Graphics files should be in gif or jpg format in order to work with most of the Webbrowsers.

Testing your home page

1. Open Notepad (Windows) or SimpleText (Mac) and type in the HTML tags and textyou want on your home page.

2. Save your home page file as a text file with the file extension .htm (Windows) or.html (Mac). I encourage you to use all lower case letters and you cannot leave spacesin your file names.

3. Open Netscape as a second application. Don't close the text editor (Notepad orSimpleText, if you are using it). The idea is to switch back and forth between them.

4. Go to File on the menu bar and click on Open File

7. If you are using a Windows computer, your can return to editing your home page fileby pressing Alt + Tab keys together and releasing the Alt key when the icon for yourtext editor appears on the screen.

8. Make sure you save any corrections you make to your home page file, then switchback to Netscape. Again, in Windows you can use the Alt + Tab key combination totoggle back and forth.

9. Use your mouse to click on the Reload button to view the corrected version of yourhome page.
