Study Notes
### HTML Design Tools
- HTML design tools are used for developing webpages without directly interacting with their code.
- They offer a visual interface, commonly known as WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get).
- These tools often have an underlying HTML structure, but it's not typically visible to the user.
- They enable users to focus on webpage content rather than HTML syntax.
- They allow website creation without requiring HTML knowledge.
- They simplify the process of creating visually appealing and consistent websites with minimal effort.
- Examples include NetObjects Fusion and Microsoft Office 97.
HTML Elements
- An element is a fundamental building block that defines the structure of a text document in HTML.
- Examples include headings, tables, paragraphs, and lists.
- Elements can contain plain text, other elements, or a combination of both.
HTML Tags
-
HTML tags are used to mark-up HTML elements.
-
They are enclosed within angle brackets (< and >).
-
Tags usually come in pairs, with a start tag opening the markup and an end tag closing it.
-
The content of an element is located between its start and end tags.
-
HTML tags are case-insensitive, meaning upper and lowercase letters are treated the same.
-
Here's a breakdown of their syntax:
-
<tagname> text (element content) </tagname> -
<tagname> text (element content) </tagname> -
<tagname> -
An example:
-
<h1> WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE </h1> -
<a href="link"> CLICK HERE </a> -
An HTML document is structured around a single
<html>element. -
This element encompasses the entire document and contains two main elements:
<head>and<body>. -
The
<head>element holds information about the document, such as the title, character encoding, and links to external resources. -
The
<body>element contains the visible content of the page, such as headings, paragraphs, images, and links.
HTML Tag Attributes
- Attributes provide additional information about HTML elements.
- Attributes are written in name/value pairs, enclosed in quotation marks.
- For example:
src="image.jpg"is an attribute for the<img>tag.
Tips for Writing HTML Documents
- HTML is case-insensitive, meaning
pandPare considered the same. - Not all browsers support all HTML tags. Unsupported tags are simply ignored by the browser.
- Browser display can vary, especially with changing window sizes. Avoid using unnecessary spaces or newlines in your HTML code to ensure consistent formatting.
- Using empty
</p>tags to create blank lines is discouraged.
Minimal HTML Document
- Every HTML document has a
<head>and a<body>section. - The
<head>section contains the document title, which appears in the browser's title bar or tab. - The
<body>section contains the main content of the page, including paragraphs, lists, images, and other elements. - Specific information is required in HTML documents based on HTML and SGML specifications.
Example HTML Document
- The provided code demonstrates a basic HTML document.
-
<title>defines the title displayed in the browser's title bar or tab. -
<p>is used for paragraph content within the document.
