HTML overview
• An HTML document consists of lines of text with embedded markup tags that specify Web-page formatting and links to other pages
• Invented by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN 1989– The birth of the World Wide Web
URLs, Anchor Tags, and Document References
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/
Protocol HostMachine
Name
URLs, Anchor Tags, and Document References
• URL (Uniform Resource Locator) – A protocol, a mechanism used to fetch the
desired object. • In this case: http (Hypertext Transfer
Protocol).
– The host machine, the computer that contains the requested object.
• In this case, the host computer is www.w3.org. • Special host name for browser computer:
localhost
– The object name.• In this case, /TR/REC-html40/.
Fundamentals of HTML
• HTML, HEAD, Title, Body• Headings and paragraphs • Add emphasis to your text • Use various kinds of lists • Add links to other pages • Add images • Add links to other pages
<HTML> and </HTML>
• <HTML> The <HTML> tag is the first tag in your document. It tells the Internet browser that it is reading an HTML document (without it, the browser would think it was viewing a text document).
• </HTML> This is the closing tag for the <HTML> tag. This should be the last line in your HTML document.
<HEAD> and </HEAD>
• <HEAD>Used to contain information such as title, style
sheets
• </HEAD>: This is the closing <HEAD> tag.
<TITLE> and </TITLE>
• <TITLE> and </TITLE>– It is used to make the title of the page. The
title of the page will appear in the blue bar across the top of your active window
Example:<TITLE> Basic HTML </TITLE>
<BODY> and </BODY>
• <BODY> and </BODY>We put all your text, images, and links between the opening and closing <BODY> tags.
Headings and paragraphs
• There are up to six levels of headers that can be used in your document, H1 through H6. Header 1 is the largest header and they get progressively smaller through header 6.
Example
• <h1>This is a header 1 tag</h1>
This is a header 1 tag
• <h2>This is a header 2 tag</h2> This is a header 2 tag
Add emphasis to your text
• BoldfaceThis is a <b>boldface</b> tag. This is a boldface tag.
•ItalicsThis is an <i>italic</i> tag.
This is an italic tag.
Lists
Numbered<ol>
<li> list item 1 <li> list item 2 <li> list item 3
</ol>
Lists
Unumbered:<ul>
<li> list item 1 <li> list item 2 <li> list item 3
</ul>
Lists
• Definition lists allow you to indent without necessarily having to use bullets.
• <dl> <dt> This is a term
<dd> This is a definition <dd> And yet another definition
<dt> Another term <dd> Another definition
</dl>
Center
• You can center text, images, and headings with the center tag:
<center>This is a centered sentence</center>
• The center tag automatically inserts a line break after the closing center tag.
File names
• Use lowercase file names• User proper extension:
– *.html or *.htm
Designing a web site
• Determine the purpose of the web site• Determine the target audience• Determine numbers of pages• Sketch the site on paper
Example of HTML
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"><html> <head> <title>My first Web site</title> </head><body><!-- Site navigation menu --><ul> <li><a href="index.html">Home page</a> <li><a href="musings.html">Musings</a> <li><a href="town.html">My town</a> <li><a href="links.html">Links</a></ul>
<!-- Main content --><h1>My first styled page</h1>
<p>Welcome to my first page!
</body></html>

Adding color
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"><html><head> <title>My first web page</title>
<style type="text/css"> body { color: purple; background-color: #d8da3d } </style></head>……<body>

Style sheet
• Style sheets in CSS are made up of rules. Each rule has three parts: – the selector (in the example: “body”), which
tells the browser which part of the document is affected by the rule;
– the property (in the example, 'color' and 'background-color' are both properties), which specifies what aspect of the layout is being set;
– and the value ('purple' and '#d8da3d'), which gives the value for the style property.

Look at the example again
<style type="text/css"> body { color: purple; background-color: #d8da3d } </style>
SELECTOR
property
value
Creating a Style rule
• Step 1: Determine Selector (which identifies the elements you wish to format). Put { next to it
Example: h1{• Step 2: Determine property: value in which property is
the name of CSS property that applies this format and value is one of valid options for that property
Example: color:red• Step 3: Combine the results of step 1 and step 2 and put
} at the end.If you have more than one property: value pairs, use
semicolon (;) to separate them.Example: h1{color:red}
Creating a selector
• The type or name of elementsFor instance: body, paragraph
• The context in which the element is foundFor instance: paragraphs in the middle of the web page
• The class or id of an elementFor instance: the name of a paragraph in a web page.
Examples
• For the type or name of elementsh2 {color:red}
h1 {color: purple}• The context in which the element is
founddiv#gaudi p {color:red}
• The class or id of an elementdiv#gaudi {color:red}
DIV tag• The <div> tag: defines logical divisions in a Web
page. – determines the alignment of that section of the page.– defines the style of whole sections of HTML.– names certain sections of your documents so that you
can affect them with style sheets or Dynamic HTML
• Syntax: <div [align=“<left><center><right><justify>”]
[id =name]><!–- this is a body of the div tag -->
</div>
Example for DIV tag
<div id="gaudi" align="center"><p>Many tourists are drawn to Barcelona to see Antoni Gaud’'s incredible architecture. </p><p>Barcelona <a href="http://www.gaudi2002.bcn.es/english/flash/home/GO.htm">celebrates</a> the 150th anniversary of Gaud’'s birth in 2002.</p></div>
Putting style sheet in HTML files
<style type="text/css"><!-- This is where you put Style sheet
information --></style>
Example<html> <head>
<title>Antoni Gaud’ - Introduction</title><style>
h1 {color: purple}</style></head>
<body><h1>Antoni Gaud’</h1>
<div id="gaudi" align="justify"><p>Many tourists are drawn to Barcelona to see Antoni Gaud’'s incredible architecture. </p></div>
</body> </html>
Style sheet in HTML file
Style affects this h1 tag
Result
Putting the style sheet in a separate file
• Step 1: Open a new text file• Step 2: Cut and paste the content inside
<style> </style> tags (except the tag)• Step 3: Save in the same folder with HTML
file with the extension *.css (e.g mystyle.css)• Step 4:Replace <style> and </style> tag
with:<link rel="stylesheet“
ref="mystyle.css">
Example
<html> <head><title>Antoni Gaud’ - Introduction</title><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="descendant.css" />
</head><body>
<h1>Antoni Gaud’</h1>
<div id="gaudi" align="justify"><p>Many tourists are drawn to Barcelona to see Antoni Gaud’'s incredible architecture. </p></div>
</body></html>
Example of descendant.css
• h1 {color:purple}
