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:
href
for links,src
for 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
href
attribute 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 linkstel:
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 colspan
attribute extends a cell over multiple columnsrowspan
attribute 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
