Study Notes
Introduction to HTML
- HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
- It's 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
- Elements are defined by start and end tags
- Example:
<tagname> content goes here... </tagname> - Everything between the start and end tags is considered the element
- Some elements are empty, like
<br>, which don't have an end tag
Web Browsers
- Browsers (like Chrome, Firefox, Safari) read HTML documents and display them correctly
- They don't show HTML tags, but use them to properly display content
HTML Page Structure
- HTML documents start with
<!DOCTYPE html> - The document itself starts with
<html>and ends with</html> - The visible part of the document is within
<body>tags
HTML Attributes
- Attributes provide additional information about HTML elements
- Attributes are always specified in the start tag as name-value pairs (e.g.,
name="value") - Example attributes:
hreffor links,srcfor images,width,height
HTML Block and Inline Elements
-
Block-level elements: Start on a new line, take up full width, and create space before and after the element (e.g.,
<p>,<div>) -
Inline elements: Do not start on a new line, take up only necessary width (e.g.,
<span>)
HTML Headings
- Headings define titles or subtitles (e.g.,
<h1>to<h6>) -
<h1>is the most important heading,<h6>is the least
HTML Paragraphs
- Paragraphs are defined using the
<p>tag
Special Characters
- HTML uses special entities for characters that can't be directly typed (e.g., copyright symbol, quotes)
- Example:
©for copyright
- Example:
HTML Links
- Links are created using the
<a>tag - The
hrefattribute specifies the URL of the linked page - Absolute links point to external websites
- Relative links point to pages within the same website
-
mailto:protocol can create email links -
tel:protocol initiates phone calls
HTML Lists
- Ordered lists (
<ol>) use numbers for items - Unordered lists (
<ul>) use bullet points for items - Description lists (
<dl>,<dt>,<dd>) define terms and their descriptions
HTML Div Element
-
<div>is a generic container element - It's a block-level element, so it takes up the full width and starts on a new line
- It's often used to group elements
Structural Elements
- HTML5 structural elements (e.g.,
<header>,<nav>,<main>,<footer>) provide a structure to content -
<header>contains page headings -
<nav>contains primary navigation links -
<main>contains the main content of a page -
<footer>contains page-level footer content
HTML Tables
- Tables (
<table>) let you arrange data in rows and columns - Rows (
<tr>) contain data cells - Data cells (
<td>) hold the content - Table headings (
<th>) define column headers - Table captions (
<caption>) describe the table -
colspanattribute extends a cell over multiple columns -
rowspanattribute extends a cell over multiple rows
Enhancing Tables
-
<thead/>displays headers in a format such as on multiple pages of a document -
<tbody/>provides a section for grouping rows into portions in long tables -
<tfooter/>displays footnotes in a format, such as on multiple pages of a document
Writing Valid HTML
- Checking code for errors using validators, such as the W3C tool, enhances browser compatibility and code consistency
- Valid HTML code is more consistent in the browser's display
- Tools like validator.w3.org and html5.validator.nu check the validity of HTML code
