HTML _ Dr. Jawad Makki






1- INTRODUCTION

  • Webpages are written in HTML -a simple scripting language.
  • HTML is short for Hyper Text Markup Language.
  • Hypertext is simply a piece of text that works as a link.
  • Markup Language is a way of writing layout information within documents.
  • Basically an HTML document is a plain text file that contains text and nothing else.
  • When a browser opens an HTML file, the browser will look for HTML codes in the text and use them to change the layout, insert images, or create links to other pages.

2- HOW TO CREATE HTML

  • Since HTML documents are just text files they can be written in even the simplest text editor.
  • All you need to do is type in the code, then save the document, making sure to put an .html extension or an .htm extension to the file (for instance "mypage.html").
  • A more popular choice is to use a special HTML editor -maybe even one that puts focus on the visual result rather than the codes -a so-called WYSIWYG editor ("What You See Is What You Get").
  • Some of the most popular HTML editors, such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver will let you create pages more or less as you write documents in Word or whatever text editor you're using.

3- HTML Basics :


a- TAGS

  • Basically, a computer sees an "A" as simply an "A" -whether it is bold, italic, big or small.
  • To tell the browser that an "A" should be bold we need to put a markup in front of the A. Such a markup is called a Tag.
  • All HTML tags are enclosed in < and >.Example:
A piece of text as it appears on the screen:
This is an example of bold text.HTML: the HTML for the above example:
This is an example of <b>bold</b> text.

b- PAGE STRUCTURE

  • All normal webpages consist of a head and a body.
  • The head is used for text and tags that do not show directly on the page.
  • The body is used for text and tags that are shown directly on the page.
  • All webpages have an <html> tag at the beginning and the end, telling the browser where the document starts and where it stops.
  • The most basic code:
<html><head><!--This section is for the title and technical info of the page. --></head>
<body><!--This section is for all that you want to show on the page. --></body></html>
