Study Notes
HTML Fundamentals
- Metadata Elements: specify character encoding (e.g., UTF-8) and describe page content.
-
Well-formed Markup: starts with a declaration of the HTML version, then uses elements like
<html>,<head>, and<body>in a nested structure. Tags must be properly nested and closed. Special symbols (like<and&) need escaping.
CSS Fundamentals
-
Style Implementation: Styles can be inline (within elements), internal (within the
<head>), or external (in a separate file). Inline styles have precedence over internal, and internal styles override external ones. - Rule Sets: CSS rules use selectors to target elements (classes, IDs, tags, pseudo-classes) and properties/values to change their appearance.
Document Structure using HTML
-
Content and Data Organization: HTML structure uses headings (
to
), paragraphs, line breaks, horizontal rules, lists (ordered and unordered), and tables to organize content.
-
HTML5 Semantic Elements: Elements like
<header>,<footer>,<nav>,<article>, and<section>provide meaning and structure to content. -
Navigation Elements: Use
<a>tags for links (specifytarget="_blank"for new tabs), links withhref="#top"or external links (e.g., "href="https://example.com"") for navigation, and image maps (<map>and<area>). -
Forms: The
<form>element collects user input. Input elements include<input>,<textarea>, and<select>.actionspecifies the URL for submission, andmethodcan beGETorPOST.
Multimedia Presentation using HTML
-
Images: The
<img>element displays images.srcspecifies the image source,altprovides alternative text, andwidthandheightset its dimensions. -
Video and Audio: Use
<video>and<audio>elements to embed multimedia content.srcspecifies the media file;<track>provides subtitles/captions.
Webpage Styling using CSS
-
Positioning Content: Properties like
position(static, relative, absolute, fixed), margin, padding, border, float, and display control element layout. -
Text Formatting: Properties such as
font-family,font-size,font-weight,font-style, color,text-align,line-height, andtext-decorationstyle text. -
Backgrounds and Borders: Modify element appearance with
border-width,border-style,border-color,background-color, andbackground-imageproperties. -
Responsive Layouts: Use percentage-based units (%), pixels (px), relative units (em, rem), viewport-width (vw), or viewport-height (vh) units. Media queries (
@media) adjust styling based on screen size. Use grids and breakpoints for responsive design.
Accessibility, Readability, and Testing
- Best Practices: Separate HTML and CSS, use comments, and utilize web-safe fonts to improve readability and maintain clarity.
-
Accessibility Principles: Provide alternative text for images (
alt), ensure adequate color contrast and tab order for navigation. - Validation: Use HTML validators to check syntax, ensure proper nesting, and correct CSS cascading issues.
