Building Web pages Languages and programs

HTML - Hyper Text Markup Language Netscape’s Composer MicroSoft Front Page Dreamweaver Word


Keep it simple Word can save a file as a web page file (html)

Word is familiar to you, but it creates complex and nonstandard html code

Netscape’s Composer Easy to learn and very simple html code, but not very

powerful Straight HTML

Lots of syntax to learn but the best way understand what is happening

Front Page Easy to use Available on LAN and part of MS package More sophisticated than Composer Recommended for you after you use HTML

Dreamweaver Excellent when working with a large site. Similar to FrontPage, but more complicated and more

powerful


Use word to create a file and save it as a ‘web page’ File --- Save as

Use Word to make a web page


Word’s html codeFrom Wordpad (or Notepad) open the word htm file called

wordhtmltest.htm

Pretty messy looking html.


Use Wordpad (or Notepad) to create an htm file:

Start – Programs – Accessories - Wordpad

If you are using Wordpad, you must save the file as a text document, making sure you explicitly type the name and the extension in the filename line. Wordpad has more saving options than Notepad, so be careful to save the file correctly.

What we want for pa1:


Using Wordpad to create a file called index.html and save it to your desktop folder.

Enter the text shown here.

A great place to learn more about what tags are is:http://www.htmlclinic.com

Remember: If you are using Wordpad, you must save the file as a text document, making sure you explicitly type the name and the extension in the filename line.


In the body tag area, we will create a table of one column and width of 100% of the browser window.

<tr> means new row and <td> means next table cell

<center> means center and <br> means line break.

table tag must be closed

Text entry


Save your file and take a look at it (open it) in a browser.

So far so good!


In the body tag area, add another row to the table and insert an image.

An image needs a source SRC=“yourpicture.jpg”, and dimensions of height and width (in pixels).

You have to have an image in the same folder as your index.html file! Go get one if you don’t have one.

An Image


Resume Link

Insert a link to a Word file that is called resume.doc. <a href is an anchor tag to a hypertext link.

The words My Resume will be seen on the page.

Make sure you have a document named resume.doc in your local folder.


Save your file and take a look at it (open it) in a browser.

So far so good!


Favorite Link

Insert a link to a external www location. This is identical to the document link, but we now enter a location on the web, rather than a file name.


Insert a link with the action word: mailto:[email protected], where xxxx is your four digit id.

Email Link


Looking Good!
