babydoll10 — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 23:49:59 +0000

Selectors can be defined in the form of a class or an ID. Class and ID selectors are differentiated by their puncuations. Class selectors are followed bya full stop (.) and ID selectors are followed by a hash character (#). An ID is used to identify one element while a class can identify more than one.

Day 4: Span and DIV

Span and DIV are HTMl tags that serve no other purpose than to group HTML with class or id. A span is in-line and typically used for smaller HTML. A div is block-line and used to group larger HTML. Although they are useful span and div should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Day 3: Applying CSS

CSS is used to add style and flare to web pages. CSS selectors give style to internal and external style sheets. Each selector has properties that are expressed between curled brackets ({ }). Values are given to each property followed by a semi-colon (;). When these values are used they give color, font weight, and background color. In-line styles are placed in HTML tags and change the color. Internal styles are used to change the color of the entire page. inserted inside the head tags, the style tags changes the color of the links or internal text. External styles change the color of the entire page.

CSS Percentages/Lengths:

em- unit for calculated font size
px- unit for pixels
pt- unit for points
%- unit for percentage
pc (picas)
cm (centimetres)
mm (millimetres)
in (inches)

* ‘em’ and ‘%’ are the best units for font size

Day 2: HTML vs. XHTML

HTML was created primarily to display plain text without images, fancy layouts, or multi-color fonts. It was not intended to create the elaborate web pages that we see today. As a result people had to hack and create extensive codes. W3C realized this was a problem and created a set of standards. XHTML and its set of standards create the Web standard that most people use. XHTML is much more easier to use than HTML because instead of using tag cells and having to make changes to each one you just place the content on the page with it’s unique tags and the formatting is pulled from the style sheet.

XHTML RULES:

Close Tags: end tags have a slash and beginning tags do not. (ex:
)

All Tags Must Be Lowercase

Give Values to All Attributes (ex:td nowrap=”nowrap”)

Quote All Attributes: all values get quotes

Use the Proper DOCTYPE/namespace tags

I am a senior in high school taking an advanced computer course. Today in class I learned how to create a HTML page. HTML documents are composed of many tags. Some tags determine how words appear on the page others determine the format of the page. Tags are created by placing angle brackets around normal text. For instance, “”makes text bold and
creates a paragraph. There are opening tags and closing tags; the two can be differentiated by the slash (/) at the end. HTML pages begin with and end with . In between there are headers and body. The are several size headers,
through
. The body is created by writing text in between and . HTML pages are easy to create and they can always be edited.
