    Study Notes

    HTML: A Comprehensive Guide

    , , and
    can be used to create lists and tables.

  • The type attribute can specify the bullet type in lists, while attributes like background, bgcolor, border, cellspacing, width, and height can be used to format tables.

  • The tag can be used to include images in HTML, with attributes like src, width, height, border, usemap, and alt.

  • Image maps can be created with the and tags to make clickable areas on images.

  • External objects, like flash, video, and sound files, can be included in HTML with the tag and classid attribute.

  • Events, like onMouseOver and onClick, can trigger scripts that execute when users interact with HTML elements.

  • The <script> tag can be used to include scripts in HTML, with attributes like language, source, and type.

  • Frames can be used to divide a webpage into different regions, with attributes like cols, rows, frameborder, noresize, scrolling, and src.

  • Separation of content and style is a good practice in HTML, with standards like XHTML and CSS emphasizing markup for the structure of a document over markup for visual purposes only.

  • A Document Type Definition (DTD) declaration should be included at the beginning of an HTML document to define its structure and standards compliance.HTML and CSS Basics

    • HTML

    • HTML is a markup language used to structure content for web pages.
    • HTML tags define the structure of a web page, and different DTDs define different rules for the language.
    • Styles are assigned to HTML elements using the style attribute, but it is encouraged to use CSS instead.
    • CSS is used to define styles and is made up of rules with three parts: selector, property, and value.
    • CSS allows for grouping properties and selectors to apply styles more efficiently.
    • Class selectors can be defined in CSS and applied to HTML elements.
    • Pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements can be used to add subclasses to properties and distinguish different cases of the property.
    • HTML forms are used to collect user input and require an application environment like ASP or PHP to process the data.
    • Form controls are elements used to gather user input, and the most important is the input element.
    • Multi-line input can be done using the textarea element, and list/drop-down menus can be created with the select element.

    Challenges and Alternatives

    • HTML has some limitations, including poor searching and a limited set of tags.

    • Challenges facing HTML include new kinds of browsers and pressure to subset or extend the language.

    • XHTML is an application of XML that is a more restrictive subset of SGML and requires tags to be well-formed and attributes to be quoted.

    • XML is a descendant of SGML that is easier to implement, requires end tags and quoted attribute values, and makes it practical to parse XML without prior knowledge of the tags.Resources for HTML and CSS
