Introduction to HTMLHTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. HTML is a method of describing the format

of documents which allows them to be viewed on computer screen. HTML documents are

displayed by web browsers, programs which can navigate across network and display a wide

verity of type of information. HTML pages can be developed to simple text or to be complex

multimedia extravaganzas containing sound, move images, virtual reality and java applets.

HTML file is a text file containing small markup tags. The markup tags tell the web browser

how to display the page. HTML file can be created using a simple text editor like Notepad;

WordPad even can use MS Word.

What is a HTML File? HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language

An HTML file is a text file containing small markup tags

The markup tags tell the Web browser how to display the page

An HTML file must have an htm or html file extension

An HTML file can be created using a simple text editor

Start Notepad program and type the followings

<html><head>

<title>Title of page</title>

</head>

<body>

This is my first homepage. <b>This text is bold</b>

</body>

</html>

Close the notepad and open home.html file using web browser

In the above example the first tag in your HTML document is <html>. This tag tells your

browser that this is the start of an HTML document. The last tag in your document is

</html>. This tag tells your browser that this is the end of the HTML document.

The text between the <head> tag and the </head> tag is header information. Header

information is not displayed in the browser window.

The text between the <title> tags is the title of your document. The title is displayed in your

browser's caption.

The text between the <body> tags is the text that will be displayed in your browser.

The text between the <b> and </b> tags will be displayed in a bold font.



HTM or HTML ExtensionWhen you save an HTML file, you can use either the .htm or the .html extension.

Basic HTML TagsHTML documents are text files made up of HTML elements.

HTML elements are defined using HTML tags.

HTML Tags HTML tags are used to mark-up HTML elements

HTML tags are surrounded by the two characters < and >

The surrounding characters are called angle brackets

HTML tags normally come in pairs like <b> and </b>

The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag

The text between the start and end tags is the element content

HTML tags are not case sensitive, <b> means the same as <B>

Tag AttributesTags can have attributes. Attributes can provide additional information about the HTML

elements on your page.

<body> tag defines the body element of your HTML page. With an added bgcolor attribute,

you can tell the browser that the background color of your page should be red, like this:

<body bgcolor="red">.

Attributes always come in name/value pairs like this: name="value".

Attributes are always added to the start tag of an HTML element.

Quote Styles, "red" or 'red'?Attribute values should always be enclosed in quotes. Double style quotes are the most

common, but single style quotes are also allowed.

HeadingsHeadings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags. <h1> defines the largest heading. <h6>

defines the smallest heading.

<h1>University of Sri Jayewardenepura</h1>

<h2> University of Sri Jayewardenepura </h2>





HTML automatically adds an extra blank line before and after a heading.

Center aligned headingThis example demonstrates a center aligned heading.

<html>

<body>

<h1 align="center">Faculty of Management Studies & Commerce</h1>

<p>The heading above is aligned to the center of this page. The heading above is aligned to

the center of this page. The heading above is aligned to the center of this page.</p>

</body>

</html>



ParagraphsParagraphs are defined with the <p> tag.

<p>This is a paragraph</p><p>This is another paragraph</p>

HTML automatically adds an extra blank line before and after a paragraph.

Line Breaks

The <br> tag is used when you want to end a line, but don't want to start a new paragraph.The <br> tag forces a line break wherever you place it.

<p>This <br> is a para<br>graph with line breaks</p>

The <br> tag is an empty tag. It has no closing tag.

HTML BackgroundsThe <body> tag has two attributes where you can specify backgrounds. The background can

be a color or an image.

BgcolorThe bgcolor attribute specifies a background-color for an HTML page. The value of this

attribute can be a hexadecimal number, an RGB value, or a color name:<body bgcolor="#000000">

<body bgcolor="rgb(0,0,0)">

<body bgcolor="black">

The lines above all set the background-color to black.

BackgroundThe background attribute specifies a background-image for an HTML page. The value of this

attribute is the URL of the image you want to use. If the image is smaller than the browser

window, the image will repeat itself until it fills the entire browser window.

<body background="clouds.gif">

<body background="https://reader009.{domain}/reader009/html5/0513/5af8456ea779d/5af845724d0c4The URL can be relative (as in the first line above) or absolute (as in the second line above).

Note: If you want to use a background image, you should keep in mind:

Will the background image increase the loading time too much?

Will the background image look good with other images on the page?

Will the background image look good with the text colors on the page?

Will the background image look good when it is repeated on the page?

Will the background image take away the focus from the text?

HTML FontsThe <font> tag in HTML is deprecated. It is supposed to be removed in a future version of

HTML. Even if a lot of people are using it, you should try to avoid it, and use styles instead.

The HTML <font> TagWith HTML code like this, you can specify both the size and the type of the browser output.

<p>

<font size="2" face="Verdana">

This is a paragraph.

</font>

</p>



<p>

<font size="3" face="Times">

This is another paragraph.

</font>

</p>

Font Attributes

Attribute Example Purposesize="number" size="2" Defines the font size

size="+number" size="+1" Increases the font size

size="-number" size="-1" Decreases the font size

face="face-name" face="Times" Defines the font-name

color="color-value" color="#eeff00" Defines the font color

color="color-name" color="red" Defines the font color

HTML ImagesThe Image Tag and the Src AttributeIn HTML, images are defined with the <img> tag. The <img> tag is empty, which means

that it contains attributes only and it has no closing tag. To display an image on a page, youneed to use the src attribute. src stands for "source". The value of the src attribute is the file

name with the path or URL of the image you want to display on your page.

The syntax of defining an image:

width="222" height="194">

<img src="url">

The URL points to the location where the image is stored. An image named "itn.jpg" located

in the directory "images" on "www.itn.lk" has the URL: https://reader009.{domain}/reader009/html5/0

browser puts the image where the image tag occurs in the document. If you put an image tag

between two paragraphs, the browser shows the first paragraph, then the image, and then the

second paragraph.

The Alt AttributeThe alt attribute is used to define an "alternate text" for an image. The value of the alt

attribute is an author-defined text:

<img src="boat.gif" alt="Big Boat">

The "alt" attribute tells the reader what he or she is missing on a page if the browser can't

load images. The browser will then display the alternate text instead of the image. It is a good

practice to include the "alt" attribute for each image on a page, to improve the display and

usefulness of your document for people who have text-only browsers.

Adding a Background SoundYou can add a sound file as background music of your web page.

<bgsound src="bgm.wav">

Note: Some web browsers are not support to the background sound

MarqueeThe marquee tag is used to add moving text to your webpage.

<marquee>Welcome to ITRC</marquee>

Following properties of Marquee Tag can be changed.



HTML Text FormattingHTML defines a lot of elements for formatting output, like bold or italic text.

Text Formatting Tags

Tag Description

<b> Defines bold text<big> Defines big text<em> Defines emphasized text

<i> Defines italic text<u> Defines underline text<small> Defines small text

<strong> Defines strong text<sub> Defines subscripted text<sup> Defines superscripted text<ins> Defines inserted text<del> Defines deleted text<blockquote> Defines quoted text<q> Defines short quotation

<address> Defines a address<pre> Defines a pre formatted text*

*Example for pre formatted text

<pre>

ITRC

FMSC

USJP

Sri Lanka

</font>

</pre>

Example

<html><body>

<b>This text is bold</b><br>

<i>This text is italic</i><br>

<small>This text is small</small><br>

This text contains<sub>subscript</sub><br>

This text contains<sup>superscript</sup>

</body>

</html>



Character EntitiesSome characters have a special meaning in HTML, like the less than sign (<) that defines the

start of an HTML tag. If we want the browser to actually display these characters we must

insert character entities in the HTML source.

The Most Common Character Entities:

Result Description Entity Namenon-breaking space*

< less than <> greater than >

& ampersand &

" quotation mark "

*Non-breaking Space

The most common character entity in HTML is the non-breaking space.

Normally HTML will truncate spaces in your text. If you write 10 spaces in your text HTML

will remove 9 of them. To add spaces to your text, use the character entity.

Some Other Commonly Used Character Entities:

Result Description Entity Name¢ cent ¢

£ pound £¥ yen ¥§ section §© copyright ©® registered trademark ®× multiplication ×÷ division ÷

HTML Links

HTML uses a hyperlink to link to another document on the Web. The Anchor Tag and theHref Attribute is used to create a link to another document. An anchor can point to any

resource on the Web: an HTML page, an image, a sound file, a movie, etc.

The syntax of creating an anchor:

<a href="url/file name with path">Text to be displayed</a>

The <a> tag is used to create an anchor to link from, the href attribute is used to address the

document to link to, and the words between the open and close of the anchor tag will be

displayed as a hyperlink.

This anchor defines a link to University of Sri Jayewardenepura:

<a href="http://www.sjp.ac.lk/">Visit university web</a>

The line above will look like this in a browser:Visit university web

The Target attribute (Open a link in a new browser window)Following codes demonstrate how to link to another page by opening a new window, so that

the visitor does not have to leave your Web site.

<a href="http://www.sjp.ac.lk target="_blank">USJP</a>



An image as a link This example demonstrates how to use an image as a link

<html>

<body>

<a href=" http://www.sjp.ac.lk/"><img src="sjp_logo.jpg"></a>

</body>

</html>

Email Link The Anchor Tag and the Href Attribute with is used to create an

email link.

<html>

<body>

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">Mail Your Comments</a>

</body>

</html>

HTML FramesWith frames, you can display more than one HTML document in the same browser window.

Each HTML document is called a frame, and each frame is independent of the others.

The disadvantages of using frames are:

The web developer must keep track of more HTML documents

It is difficult to print the entire page

The Frameset Tag The <frameset> tag defines how to divide the window into frames

Each frameset defines a set of rows or columns

The values of the rows/columns indicate the amount of screen area each row/column

will occupy

The Frame Tag

The <frame> tag defines what HTML document to put into each frame. In the example below

we have a frameset with two columns. The first column is set to 25% of the width of the

browser window. The second column is set to 75% of the width of the browser window. The

HTML document "frame1.htm" is put into the first column, and the HTML document

"frame2.htm" is put into the second column:

<frameset cols="25%,75%">

<frame src="frame1.htm">

<frame src="frame2.htm">

</frameset>

Frame Tags

Tag Description<frameset> Defines a set of frames

<frame> Defines a sub window (a frame)

<noframes> Defines a noframe section for browsers that do not handle frames

<iframe> Defines an inline sub window (frame)



HTML TablesWith HTML you can create tables.

Tables

Tables are defined with the <table> tag. A table is divided into rows (with the <tr> tag), and

which is the content of a data cell. A data cell can contain text, images, lists, paragraphs,

forms, horizontal rules, tables, etc.

<table><tr>

<td>row 1, cell 1</td>


</tr>

<tr>



</tr>

</table>

How it looks in a browser:row 1, cell 1 row 1, cell 2

row 2, cell 1 row 2, cell 2

Tables and the Border Attribute

If you do not specify a border attribute the table will be displayed without any borders.

Sometimes this can be useful, but most of the time, you want the borders to show.

To display a table with borders, you will have to use the border attribute:

<table border="1">

<tr>

<td>Row 1, cell 1</td>

<td>Row 1, cell 2</td></tr>

</table>

Headings in a TableHeadings in a table are defined with the <th> tag.

<table border="1">

<tr>

<th>Heading</th>

<th>Another Heading</th>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>row 1, cell 1</td><td>row 1, cell 2</td>

</tr>

<tr>



</tr>

</table>

How it looks in a browser:



Heading Another Heading



Empty Cells in a TableTable cells with no content are not displayed very well in most browsers.

<table border="1">

<tr>



</tr>

<tr>


<td></td>

</tr>

</table>



row 2, cell 1

Note that the borders around the empty table cell are missing.

To avoid this, add a non-breaking space ( ) to empty data cells, to make the borders

visible:

<table border="1">

<tr>


<td>row 1, cell 2</td></tr>

<tr>


<td> </td>

</tr>

</table>



row 2, cell 1



Table cells that span more than one row/column

<html>

<body>

<h4>Cell that spans two columns:</h4>

<table border="1">

<tr>

<th>Location</th>

<th colspan="2">Intercom</th>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>ITRC</td>

<td>772</td>

<td>773</td>

</tr>

</table>

<h4>Cell that spans two rows:</h4>

<table border="1">

<tr>

<th>Location</th>

</tr>

<tr>

<th rowspan="2">Intercom</th>

<td>772</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>773</td>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>

Cell paddingSpace between boundary of the cell and content of the cell

<h4>With cellpadding:</h4>

<table border="1"

cellpadding="10">

<tr>

<td>First</td>

<td>Row</td>

HTML ListsHTML supports ordered, unordered and definition lists.

Unordered ListsAn unordered list is a list of items. The list items are marked with bullets (typically small

black circles).An unordered list starts with the <ul> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag.

<ul>

<li>ITRC</li>

<li>ARC</li>

</ul>

Here is how it looks in a browser:

ITRC

ARC

Inside a list item you can put paragraphs, line breaks, images, links, other lists, etc.

Bullet types can be selected by changing ul properties

Ordered ListsAn ordered list is also a list of items. The list items are marked with numbers.

An ordered list starts with the <ol> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag.

<ol>

<li>ITRC</li>

</ol>


1. ITRC

2. ARC

Inside a list item you can put paragraphs, line breaks, images, links, other lists, etc.

Number types can be selected by changing ol properties

Definition ListsA definition list is not a list of items. This is a list of terms and explanation of the terms.



A definition list starts with the <dl> tag. Each definition-list term starts with the <dt> tag.

Each definition-list definition starts with the <dd> tag.
