HTML Browsers Tags: What are they?, Common Tags Lists Links and Anchors Images DIVs Validation WHAT WE’LL COVER

Hyper Text Markup Language – the building blocks of web pages HTML documents contain plain text (what you want displayed) and HTML tags (instructions on how to display text) HTML Document = Web Page Many HTML Documents = Web Site Web browser (Firefox or Chrome, for example) reads the HTML document and displays it to user WHAT IS HTML?

The.html file extension tells the browser that it is reading an HTML document sample_index.html NOW, we can: 1.Download resume.txt (right click and save as) from: Open resume.txt in notepad++ (PC) or TextEdit (mac) 3.Save the file to the desktop as resume.html – be sure to change the file extension! WEB BROWSERS

Each tag has a different meaning/gives browser different instructions for how to display content Keyword surrounded by angle brackets Most tags come in pairs Opening/start tags => Closing/end tags => WHAT IS A TAG?

- html document goes here - metadata - this is the info that appears in the browser tab; part of the - contains the content of the page that is displayed in the browser - heading, displayed large and bold - second level heading - third level heading … - each paragraph framed by this tag - bold - italics Look up tags that you don’t know at W3 Schools Web site: For now, just refer to your trusty handout. COMMON TAGS

There are 2 kinds of lists in HTML: 1.Unordered lists - which denotes each item with bullet points Example: Begin your unordered list Item Every list item has its own tag Item Close your unordered list LISTS

When viewed in your browser, your unordered list would look like this: Item LISTS (CONT’D)

2.0rdered lists - which rank items by denoting each list item with a number. Example: Begin your ordered list Item Every list item has its own tag Item Close your ordered list LISTS (CONT’D)

When viewed in your browser, your ordered list would look like this: 1.Item 2.Item 3.Item ORDERED LISTS
