    Study Notes

    HTML Introduction

    • HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language
    • HTML is the standard markup language for creating web pages
    • HTML describes the structure of a web page
    • HTML consists of a series of elements
    • HTML elements label pieces of content, such as headings, paragraphs, links, etc.
    • Web browsers read HTML documents and display them correctly
    • Browsers do not show the HTML tags; they use the tags to determine how to display the content

    HTML Elements

    • An HTML element is defined by a start tag, some content, and an end tag
    • Example: <tagname>Content goes here... </tagname>
    • The HTML element includes everything from the start tag to the end tag.
    • Example: <h1>My First Heading</h1>

    Nested HTML Elements

    • HTML elements can be nested within other elements
    • All HTML documents consist of nested HTML elements
    • Example: <html><body><h1>My Heading</h1></body></html>

    HTML Attributes

    • HTML attributes provide additional information about HTML elements
    • Attributes are specified within the start tag
    • Attributes are usually name-value pairs (like name="value")
    • Examples: The href attribute for hyperlinks (<a href="https://www.example.com">), the src, width, and height attributes for images (<img src="image.jpg" width="500" height="300">), and the cite attribute for quotations (<blockquote cite="someurl">)

    HTML Elements: Block vs. Inline

    • Block elements take up the full width available, starting on a new line, and often have margins before and after them
    • Inline elements only take up as much width as necessary, and do not begin on new lines
    • Examples of block elements include <p>, <div>, <h1> to <h6>. Examples of inline elements include <span>

    HTML Headings

    • HTML headings are titles or subtitles on a web page defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags.
    • <h1> is the most important heading and <h6> is the least important.

    HTML Paragraphs

    • HTML paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag
    • Example: <p>This is a paragraph.</p>

    HTML Quotations

    • The <blockquote> element defines a section that's quoted from another source, usually indented by browsers.
    • Example: <blockquote>This is a quote from a source.</blockquote>
    • The cite attribute can give the source of the quotation, e.g., <blockquote cite="https://www.source.com">
    • The <a> tag is used for creating hyperlinks
    • The href attribute specifies the URL of the linked page
    • Example: <a href="https://www.example.com">This is a link</a>
    • Types of links: Absolute links (link to external websites), Relative links (link to other pages on your own site), mailto links (email addresses), tel links for phone numbers
    • The mailto: protocol is used for email links (<a href="mailto:[email protected]">)
    • The tel: protocol is used for phone number links (<a href="tel:+15551234567">)

    HTML Line Breaks

    • The <br> tag inserts a single line break
    • It is a void element, meaning it doesn't require a closing tag

    HTML Horizontal Rules

    • The <hr> tag is a horizontal rule (line). Used for visual separation.

    HTML Lists

    • HTML ordered lists (<ol>) use numbers to list items
    • HTML unordered lists (<ul>) use bullets to list items
    • HTML description lists (<dl>) list terms and their definitions

    HTML Div Elements

    • The <div> element is a generic container for other HTML elements to group them logically.

    Structural Elements

    • <header>, <nav>, <main>, <footer> define structural sections of a page; <header> contains headings, <nav> contains navigation, <main> contains the main page content, <footer> contains the footer content.

    HTML Tables

    • Tables (<table>) are used to structure data in rows and columns
      • <tr> creates table rows.
      • <td> creates table data cells
      • <th> creates table headers.
      • <caption> specifies a table caption.
    • colspan spans data over multiple columns
    • rowspan spans data over multiple rows
    • Enclosures (e.g., <thead>, <tbody>, <tfoot>) contain table sections and enhance organization

    Valid HTML

    • Writing valid HTML is critical for reliable display across different browsers
    • Using validation tools helps catch syntax errors and ensure compatibility

    Table Enhancements

    • <thead> element for table head/header(s)
    • <tbody> element encloses all table body rows
    • <tfoot> element to enclose table footer(s)
