List 2007-06-25 07:55:00 Lists are useful for displaying just that, lists. There are three types of lists: ordered, unordered, and definition.An ordered list displays each list item with a number. Ordered lists are defined using the <ol> tag.Example Code: <strong>School Items</strong> <ol> <li>Pencil</li> <li>Paper</li> <li>Ruler</li> </ol>Numbered List Output:School ItemsPencilPaperRuleryou can also start your ordered list on any number by using start attribute. The syntax for this is <ol> start=n</ol>. Where n=is any number.Example Code: <strong>School Items</strong> <ol start=6> <li>Pencil</li> <li>Paper</li> <li>Ruler</li> </ol>Numbered List (start attribute) Output:School ItemsPencilPaperRulerThere are 2 other types of ordered list other than numbers and these are the Roman Numerals and Alphabets. These is done by using the type attribute.Example
HTML Tables 2007-06-06 05:15:00 Tables are used for presenting tabular data but many designers use them to help layout their pages.Tables can be inserted anywhere on the page, even within other tables. A table cell can contain text, images, movies, applets or other tables.We will be looking at creating a basic table and then adding lots of tags to it so we can see just what the outcome will be. Experimentation is the name of the game here. <TABLE> <TR> <TD>Pencil</TD> <TD>5 Boxes</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Bond Paper</TD> <TD>100 Sheets</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Paper Clip</TD> <TD>3 Boxes</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>Stapler</TD> <TD>10 Pieces</TD> </TR> </TABLE>Which gives us this table:Pencil5 BoxesBond Paper100 SheetsPaper Clip3 BoxesStapler10 PiecesThis table uses the basic three tags all tables must have:<TABLE ...> creates the table.

HTML Frames 2007-06-06 02:54:00 On a web page, framing means that a website can be organized into frames. Each frame displays a different HTML document. Headers and sidebar menus do not move when the content frame is scrolled up and down. For developers frames can also be convenient. For example, if an item needs to be added to the sidebar menu, only one file needs to be changed, whereas each individual page on a non-frameset website would have to be edited if the sidebar menu appeared on all of them. However, server-side includes and scripting languages such as PHP can also be used to accomplish this aim without some of the drawbacks of frames such as confusing the operation of the address bar and back and forward buttons.The contents of the frames may be hosted on the same server as the parent page, or it may link in code from another website server such that these external contents are automatically displayed within the frame (transclusion or remote loading). This may be confusing and inconvenient to the users: th Read more: Frames
HTML Links 2007-06-06 01:45:00 HyperlinkA hyperlink (often referred to as simply a link), is a reference or navigation element in a document to another section of the same document, another document, or a specified section of another document, that automatically brings the referred information to the user when the navigation element is selected by the user. As such it is similar to a citation in literature, but with the distinction of automatic instant access. Combined with a data network and suitable access protocol, a computer can be instructed to fetch the resource referenced.Hyperlinks are part of the foundation of the World Wide Web created by Tim Berners-Lee, but are not limited to HTML or the web. Hyperlinks may be used in almost any electronic media.HREF is an acronym for Hypertext REFerence, as used in HTML.How hyperlinks work in HTMLA link has two ends, called anchors, and a direction. The link starts at the source anchor and points to the destination anchor. However, the term link is often used for the so

HTML Attributes 2007-06-05 01:03:00 The attributes of an element are name-value pairs, separated by "=", and written within the start label of an element, after the element's name. The value should be enclosed in single or double quotes, although values consisting of certain characters can be left unquoted in HTML (but not XHTML). Leaving attribute values unquoted is considered unsafe.Most elements take any of several common attributes: id, class, style and title. Most also take language-related attributes: lang and dir.The id attribute provides a document-wide unique identifier for an element. This can be used by stylesheets to provide presentational properties, by browsers to focus attention on the specific element or by scripts to alter the contents or presentation of an element. The class attribute provides a way of classifying similar elements for presentation purposes. For example, an HTML (or a set of documents) document may use the designation to indicate that all elements with this class value are all subordina Read more: Attributes
HTML Elements 2007-06-05 00:41:00 Elements are the basic structure for HTML markup. Elements have two basic properties: attributes and content. Each attribute and each element's content has certain restrictions that must be followed for an HTML document to be considered valid. An element usually has a start label (e.g. <label>) and an end label (e.g. </label>). The element's attributes are contained in the start label and content is located between the labels (e.g. <label>Content</label>). Some elements, such as, will never have any content and do not need closing labels. Listed below are several types of markup elements used in HTML.Structural markup describes the purpose of text. For example, <h2>Ball</h2> establishes "Ball" as a second-level heading, which would be rendered in a browser in a manner similar to the "HTML markup" title at the start of this section. A blank line is included after the header. Structural markup does not denote any specific rendering, but most web brow
HTML Overview 2007-06-05 00:00:00 HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. 1. Hypertext is ordinary text that has been dressed up with extra features, such as formatting, images, multimedia, and links to other documents. 2. Markup is the process of taking ordinary text and adding extra symbols. Each of the symbols used for markup in HTML is a command that tells a browser how to display the text.HTML, short for Hypertext Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for the creation of web pages. It provides a means to describe the structure of text-based information in a document — by denoting certain text as headings, paragraphs, lists, and so on — and to supplement that text with interactive forms, embedded images, and other objects. HTML is written in the form of labels (known as tags), surrounded by less-than (). HTML can also describe, to some degree, the appearance and semantics of a document, and can include embedded scripting language code which can affect the behavior of web browsers and other Read more: Overview
Forms 2007-07-17 01:24:00 You place a form anywhere inside the body of an HTML document with its elements enclosed by the <form> tag and its respective end tag </form>. All of the form elements within a <form> tag comprise a single form. The browser sends all of the values of these elements—blank, default, or user-modified—when the user submits the form to the server.The required action attribute for the <form> tag gives the URL of the application that is to receive and process the form's data. A typical <form> tag with the action attribute looks like this:<form action="http://html-online-learning.blogspot.com/process">...</form>The example URL tells the browser to contact the server named html-online-learning.blogspot.com and pass along the user's form values to the application named update, located in the cgi-bin directory.The browser specially encodes the form's data before it passes the data to the server so it doesn't become scrambled or corrupted during th Read more: Forms
