HTML Tutorials

HTML TUTORIALS
Introduction:
  HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language.
  It is used to display the document in the web browsers.
  HTML pages can be developed to be simple text or to be complex multimedia
     
program containing sound, moving images and java applets.
  HTML is considered to be the global publishing format for Internet.   It is not a programming language.
  HTML was developed by Tim Berners-Lee.  HTML standards are created by a
     
group of interested organizations called W3C (world wide web consortium).
  In HTML formatting is specified by using tags.
  A tag is a format name surrounded by angle brackets.
  End tags which switch a format off also contain a forward slash.


Points to be remembered for HTML tags:
 Tags are delimited by angled brackets.
 They are not case sensitive i.e., <head>, <HEAD> and <Head> is equivalent. 
 If a browser not understand a tag it will usually ignore it.
 Some characters have to be replaced in the text by escape sequences. 
 White spaces, tabs and newlines are ignored by the browser.

Structure of an HTML document:
  All HTML documents follow the same basic structure.
  They have the root tag as <html>, which contains <head> tag and <body> tag.
  The head tag is used for control information by the browser and the body tag
     
contains the actual user information that is to be displayed on the screen.
  The basic document is shown below.
<html>
<head>
<title> Basic HTML document </title>
</head>
<body>
<h1> Welcome to Toppers Arena</h1>
<p> A sample HTML program written by Amer </p>
</body>
</html>

  Besides head and body tag, there are some other tags like title, which is a sub tag
     
of head, that displays the information in the title bar of the browser.
<h1> is used to display the line in its own format i.e., bold with some big font
     
size.
    <p> is used to write the content in the form of paragraph.


  Comments   in   HTML   documents   start   with          <!   and   end   with        >.
Each comment can contain as many lines of text as you like. If comment is having
more lines, then each line must start and end with -- and must not contain --
within its body.
<! -- this  is a comment line - -
-- which can have more lines - ->


Basic HTML tags
1.  Body tag :
  Body tag contain some attributes such as bgcolor, background etc.
  bgcolor is used for background color, which takes background color name
     
or hexadecimal number and #FFFFFF and background attribute will take
     
the path of the image which you can place as the background image in the
     
browser.
<body bgcolor=”#F2F3F4” background= “c:\ani\imag1.gif”>

2.  Paragraph tag:
  Most text is part of a paragraph of information.
  Each paragraph is aligned to the left, right or center of the page by using
     
an attribute called as align.
<p align=”left” | “right” | “center”>

3.  Heading tag:
  HTML is having six levels of heading that are commonly used.   The largest heading tag is <h1>.
  The different levels of heading tag besides <h1> are <h2>, <h3>, <h4>,
     
<h5> and <h6>.
  These heading tags also contain attribute called as align.
<h1 align=”left” | “right” | “center”>......... <h2>
4.  hr tag:
  This tag places a horizontal line across the system.   These lines are used to break the page.
  This tag also contains attribute i.e., width which draws the horizontal line
     
with the screen size of the browser.
  This tag does not require an end tag.
      <hr width=”50%”>.

5.  base font:
This specify format for the basic text but not the headings. <basefont size=”10”>

6.  font tag:
This sets font size, color and relative values for a particular text. <font size=”10” color=”#f1f2f3”>



7.  bold tag:
This tag is used for implement bold effect on the text <b> ……. </b>
8.  Italics tag:
This implements italic effects on the text. <i>…….</i>

9.  strong tag:
This tag is used to always emphasized the text <strong>……….</strong>
10. tt tag:

11. sub and sup tag:
These tags are used for subscript and superscript effects on the text. <sub> ……….</sub>
<sup>………..</sup>

12. Break tag:
This tag is used to the break the line and start from the next line.
<br>
13. &amp   &lt    &gt    &nbsp    &quot
These are character escape sequence which are required if you want to display characters that HTML uses as control sequences.
Example:      <   can be represented as &lt.
14. Anchor tag:
This tag is used to link two HTML pages, this is represented by <a> <a href=” path of the file”> some text </a>
href  is an attribute which is used for giving the path of a file which you want to
link.


Example 1:    HTML code to implement common tags. mypage.html
<html>
<head>  <! -- This page implements common  html tags --> <title> My Home page </title>
</head>
<body >
<h1 align="center"> TOPPERS ARENA</h1> <h2 align="center"> Delhi,Ghaziabad</h2> <basefont size=4>
<p> This website provides all kinds of  <tt>notes</tt> & <font size=5> <b><i>& Projects</i></b></font><br> & Tutorials
<hr size=5 width=80%>
<h3> <u>&ltSome common tags&gt</u> </h3><br>
<a href="F:\aniruddh\sood\list.html"> List </a><br>
<a href="F:\aniruddh\sood\table.html"> Table </a><br>
</body>
</html>

Lists:
  One of the most effective ways of structuring a web site is to use lists.   Lists provides straight forward index in the web site.
  HTML provides three types of list i.e., bulleted list, numbered list and a definition
      list.
  Lists can be easily embedded easily in another list to provide a complex but
     
readable structures.
  The different tags used in lists are explained below.
      <li> …..</li>
  The ordered (numbered) and unordered (bulleted) lists are each made up of sets of
      list items.
  This tag is used to write list items
<ul type=”disc” | “square” | ”circle” > …..</ul>
  This tag is used for basic unordered list which uses a bullet in front of each tag,
     
everything between the tag is encapsulated within <li> tags.
<ol type=”1” | ”a” | “I”  start=”n”>…..</ol>
  This tag is used for unordered list which uses a number in front of each list item
     
or it uses any element which is mentioned in the type attribute of the <ol> tag,
     
start attribute is used for indicating the starting number of the list.


<dl>….. </dl>
  This tag is used for the third category i.e., definition list, where numbers or bullet
     
is not used in front of the list item, instead it uses definition for the items.
      <dt>…..</dt>
  This is a sub tag of the <dl> tag called as definition term, which is used for
     
marking the items whose definition is provided in the next data definition.
      <dd> ….</dd>
  This is a sub tag of the <dd> tag, definition of the terms are enclosed within these
     
tags.
   The definition may include any text or block.

Example 2: HTML code showing list tags.
<html>
<head>
<title> list page </title>
</head>
<body>
<h3> Course details </h3><br> <ul type="disc">
<li> Computer Science and Engineering </li> <li> Information Technology</li>
<li> Electronics and Communication </li>
</ul><br>
<ol type="I" start=4>
<li> Mechanical Engineering</li>
<li> Electronics and Electrical Engineering</li>
</ol><br>
<h3> Subject Details </h3><br>
<dl>
<dt> HTML Tutorials</dt>
<dd> Notes compiled by toppers arena</dd>
</dl>
<a href="d:\aniruddh\sood\asgm1.html">back</a>
</body>
</html>


Tables:
  Table is one of the most useful HTML constructs.   Tables are find all over the web application.
  The main use of table is that they are used to structure the pieces of information
     
and to structure the whole web page.
  Below are some of the tags used in table.
<table align=”center” | “left” | “right”   border=”n” width=”n%” cellpadding=”n” cellspacing=”n”>………………</table>
  Everything that we write between these two tags will be within a table.
  The attributes of the table will control in formatting of the table.
  Cell padding determines how much space there is between the contents of a cell
     
and its border, cell spacing sets the amount of white space between cells.
  Width attribute sets the amount of screen that table will use.
      <tr> ….. </tr>
  This is the sub tag of <table> tag,  each row of the table has to be delimited by
     
these tags.
<th>……</th>
  This is again a sub tag of the <tr> tag.  This tag is used to show the table heading .
      <td>…..</td>
  This tag is used to give the content of the table.
Example 3: HTML code showing the use of table tag
<html>
<head>
<title> table page</title>
</head>
<body>
<table align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" border="2"> <caption>Toppers Arena</caption>
<tr><th>Notes</th>
<th>Projects </th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Btech & School</td>
<td> Major & Minor</td>
</tr>
</table>


</body>
</html>


Color and Image:
  Color can be used for background, elements and links.
  To change the color of links or of the page background hexadecimal values are
     
placed in the <body> tag.
<body  bgcolor    =   “#nnnnnn”  text    =   “#nnnnnn”  link=    “#nnnnnn”  vlink=
“#nnnnnn” alink = “#nnnnnn”>
  The vlink attribute sets the color of links visited recently, alink the color of a
     
currently active link.
  The six figure hexadecimal values must be enclosed in double quotes and
     
preceded by a hash(#).

  Images are one of the aspect of web pages.

  Loading of images is a slow process, and if too many images are used, then
     
download time becomes intolerable.
  Browsers display a limited range of image types.
      <body background = “URL”>
  This tag will set a background image present in the URL.
  Another tag that displays the image in the web page, which appears in the body of
      the text rather than on the whole page is given below
<img src=”URL” height=”n” width=”n” align = “top” | “center” | “bottom” >
Example 4: HTML code that implements color and image
<html>
<head>  <! -- This page implements color and image --> <title> My Home page </title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="gray" text="magneta"  vlink="yellow" alink="brown">
<img src= ”d:\aniruddh\sood\asgm1.gif”>
</body>
</html>


Example 5: HTML code that implements background image

<html>
<head>  <! -- This page implements background image --> <title> My Home page </title>
</head>
<body background=”d:\aniruddh\sood\asgm1.gif ">
</body>
</html>

Frames:
  Frames provide a pleasing interface which makes your web site easy to navigate.   When we talk about frames actually we are referring to frameset, which is a
     
special type of web page.
  The frameset contains a set of references to HTML files, each of which is
     
displayed inside a separate frame.
  There are two tags related to frames i.e., frameset and frame
<frameset cols=” % , %”  |  rows=” % , %”>……..</frameset>
<frame  name=”name”  src=”filename”  scrolling     =”  yes”   |   “no”  frameborder
=”0”|”1”>
Forms:
  Forms are the best way of adding interactivity of element in a web page.
  They are usually used to let the user to send information back to the server but can
      also be used to simplify navigation on complex web sites.
  The tags that use to implement forms are as follows.
<forms action=”URL” method = “post” | “get”>…….</form>
  When get is used, the data is included as part of the URL.
  The post method encodes the data within the body of the message.
  Post can be used to send large amount of data, and it is more secure than
     
get.
  The tags used inside the form tag are:
<input type =     “text”  |  “password” | “checkbox” |      “radio”  |  “submit”
name=”string” value=”string” size=”n”>
  In the above tag, the attribute type is used to implement text, password, checkbox,
      radio and submit button.

Text: It is used to input the characters of the size n and if the value is given than it is used as a default value. It uses single line of text. Each component can be given a separate name using the name attribute.

Password: It works exactly as text, but the content is not displayed to the screen, instead an * is used.


Radio: This creates a radio button. They are always grouped together with a same name but different values.

Checkbox:  It provides a simple checkbox, where all the values can be selected unlike radio button.

Submit: This creates a button which displays the value attribute as its text.  It is used to send the data to the server.

Select Attribute :
<select  name=”string”>…..</select>
  This tag helps to have a list of item from which a user can choose.
  The name of the particular select tag and the name of the chosen option are
     
returned.

Option Attribute :
<option value=”string”  selected>……</option>
  The select statement will have several options from which the user can choose.
  The values will be displayed as the user moves through the list and the chosen one
      returned to the server.

Textarea Attribute :
<textarea name=”string” rows=”n” cols=”n”>…….</textarea>
  This creates a free format of plain text into which the user can enter anything they
      like.
  The area will be sized at rows by cols but supports automatic scrolling.
Example 6: HTML code that implements forms
<html>
<head>
<title>form</title>
</head>
<body>
<p align="left">Name:<input type="text" maxlength=30 size=15>
<p align="left">Password:<input type="password" maxlengtht=10 size=15>
<p         align="left">Qualification:         <br><input         type="checkbox"         name="q"
value="be">B.Tech
<input type="checkbox" name="q" value="me">M.Tech
<p align="left">Gender:<br> <input type="radio" name="g" value="m">Male


<input type="radio" name="g" value="f">Female
<p align="left">course:<select name="course" size=1> <option value=cse selected>CSE
<option value=it>CSIT
</select>
<p          align="left">Address:<br><textarea         name="addr"          rows=4          cols=5
scrolling=yes></textarea>
<p align="center"><input type="submit" name="s" value="Accept">
<p align="center"><input type="reset" name="c" value="Ignore">
</body>
</html>
Example 7: HTML code that implements frames
<html>
<head>
<title> My page </title>
</head>
<frameset rows="25%,50%">
<frame name="a" src="f:\aniruddh\sood\asgm1.html"> <frameset cols="25%,50%">
<frame name="b" src="f:\aniruddh\sood\index.html">
<frame name="abc" src="f:\aniruddh\sood\welcome.html"> </frameset>

</frameset>
