Propeng 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2007 Knowledge HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. You cannot create an HTML file using a rich-text editor, such as Microsoft Word or Wordpad. HTML To write a basic HTML, you will need to start with this: <html>The <html> tag tells the browser that this is an HTML page. To close any tag, the same tag will be repeted but with the "/" sign. For example, <html> <head> <title>Page title</title> </head></html>Did you notice the </title>, </head> & </html> tags? That's how we close the tag. The <HEAD> Tag A <head> tag will include the <meta>, <title> and any other scripts that will NOT be viewed. First, we will write a <title> that tells the browser that "Example" (Inside the <HTML> & the <HEAD> tags): <title>Example</title> Without the / tag, the script will NOT work! Then we will write the <meta>s: <meta name="description" content="This is an example HTML script." /><meta name="keywords" content="example html tutorial learn" /><meta name="Other verification content, " content="such as Google Webmaster Tools verification meta.">The "description" meta is the description that will apear if your website is indexed by search engines.The "keywords" meta will be the keywords that if any one search for "learn html", your website will apear because the desc. meta contains on of the requested keywords. The <meta> tag will execute only if you put a "/" in before closing it. For example: <meta /> NOT <meta>. This page's result: <html> <head> <title>Example</title> <meta name="description" content="This is an example HTML script." /> <meta name="keywords" content="example html tutorial learn" /> <meta name="Other verification content, " content="such as Google Webmaster Tools verification meta." /> </head><html> BODYThis page is still blank, because we haven't created the <body> tag. This tag is the basic tag, which contains all the contents that will apear on your page. To create a simple page with the title "Example" & the contents "This is a test page.": <html> <head> <title>Example</title> </head> <body> This is a test page. </body><html> Basic text formatting<b> Bold, <u> Underlined & finally... <i> Italic text These 3 tags are the most used, but not the all tags. To create a simple paragraph: <p>This is a sample paragraph.</p>To continue learning the HTML tags, scroll down. Using javascripts in HTML To use javascripts in an HTML file, use the following: <script type="text/javascript">document.write('Script Cotents');</script> To use an external .js file: <script type="text/javascript" src="myjsfile.js"></script> More HTML Tags__ To continue learning the HTML tags, scroll down.__ Using the <div align=""></div> <div align="center"> Centered Text </div><div align="left"> Left-Aligned Text </div><div align="right"> Right-Aligned Text </div> To create an image: <img src="http://mydomain.com/myimgfile.jpg" alt="Alternate text." />The src is the image location.alt is the alternate text. If you have created a stylesheet, you can add class="Class name.". ______________________________________ |That's all i have, but the post can be updated!| ------------------------------------------------------- Next post: How to create an SSL.

Arbitrary 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2007 The <?php ?> tag.AJAX.Using the <noscript> & the <noframes> tags.None of these have much relationship with basic HTML though. ;-) I'd suggest you add more information on other basic HTML tags rather than taking about server-side languages and javascript. Those could (and should) be covered in a wholly different tutorial.The <meta> tag will execute only if you put a "/" in before closing it. For example:<meta /> NOT <meta>.Actually, no, this is not true. For HTML, you don't have to close every tag the way you just did to the meta tag. You can write it like this <meta ... > and it will still work. In XHTML, you're expected to close every tag (i.e., <meta .. /> and not <meta ... >), but even then, browsers will usually still display it. It's not proper semantics in XHTML but it's fine in HTML, so it depends on what your doctype says. I believe browsers display it either way.<html> <head> <title>Example</title> </head> <body> This is a test page. </body><html>There's a slight error in this code of yours. The ending tag ought to be </html> and not just <html>. ;-)You cannot create an HTML file using a rich-text editor, such as Microsoft Word or Wordpad.Technically you can--just resave it as an html file and then load it into your browser. Most of the basic things on the page (i.e., tables, paragraphs) will be loaded, but (1) the html file won't be standards compliant (it wasn't made for the web after all) and (2) it might not render the same way on all browsers. Just sayin'. ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wutske 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2007 so if i was to do something like<html><head><title>My Name Is Karmen</title></head><body><center><h1>This Is My Webpage</h1><br>Hi!</center></body></html>then that would center the writing? also how do i change the color of the background and text? That would indeed center all your text. I would usualy not use the center tags, but there good for starters . If you want to set the background and textcolor, you'll have to add some information to the body tag:<html><head><title>My Name Is Karmen</title></head><body style="color: #898989; background-color: #AFAFAF;"><center><h1>This Is My Webpage</h1>Hi!</center></body> The #898989 is a hexadecimal code that represents a color. The first 2 numbers are for red, the next 2 for green and the last 2 for blue. The larger the numbers, the more a color is represented.A few colors:White: #FFFFFFRed: #FF0000Green: #00FF00Blue: #0000FFPurple: #FF00FFGrey: #999999If you don't understand the hexadecimal code, you could use names instead, but your limited to a certain amount of color:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_color_names Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ml01172 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2008 You guys realize that half of those attributes are obsolete in HTML? If you try w3 validator, it will tell you the same thing.For an example, <... align="center">, <center>, <font color="...">...</font> etc. (everything related to exact "look" or "style" described in HTML) is obsolete and should NOT be used. CSS should be used instead.HTML in general is used only to describe document structure, not the document appearance. So, instead of <center> you should use style="text-align: center", instead of <font> one should use style="color: red; font-family: sans-serif", instead of BOLD, ITALIC, UNDERLINE (<b>, <i>, <u>) corresponding CSS variants should be used.Also, <em> should be used to define the given text as EMphasized, not only the style itself.
