Lab Two – HTML Basics
What is an HTML File?
• HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
• The markup tags tell the Web browser how to display the page
• An HTML file must have an htm or html file extension
• An HTML file can be created using a simple text editor like Notepad.
HTML Tags
• HTML tags are surrounded by the two characters < and >
• The surrounding characters are called angle brackets
• HTML tags normally come in pairs like and
• The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
• The text between the start and end tags is the element content
• Open Notepad [pic]

| |
| |
•
• This is an HTML element:
|This text is bold |
• The HTML element starts with a start tag:
The content of the HTML element is: This text is bold
The HTML element ends with an end tag:
• The purpose of the tag is to define an HTML element that should be displayed as bold.
• This is also an HTML element:
| |
|This is my first homepage. This text is bold |
| |
• This HTML element starts with the start tag , and ends with the end tag .
• The purpose of the tag is to define the HTML element that contains the body of the HTML document.
• Here are explanations of a few of the most basic HTML tags:
| |Defines the text file as being in HTML format. This is found on the beginning and end of each web page. |
| | |
| |The heading area of a the page. The space between these two tags is used for special commands that does |
| |not have any connection to the actual formatting of the page. |

Tag Attributes
Tags can have attributes. Attributes can provide additional information about the HTML elements on your page.
This tag defines the body element of your HTML page: . With an added bgcolor attribute, you can tell the browser that the background color of your page should be red, like this: .
Colors
Colors are displayed combining RED, GREEN, and BLUE light sources.
Color Values
Colors are defined using a hexadecimal notation for the combination of Red, Green, and Blue color values (RGB). The lowest value that can be given to one light source is 0 The highest value is 255.
Backgrounds

| |
| |
The lines above all set the web page background-color to black; the first line has the same effect as second line, so you can use one of them to set the background-color to black.
| |
The line above set the web page background-color to the following color:
background
The background attribute specifies a background-image for an HTML page. The value of this attribute is the file name of the image you want to use. If the image is smaller than the browser window, the image will repeat itself until it fills the entire browser window.
| |
Note: The image must be in the same folder with HTML file, or you must use the image path.
| |
Note: If you want to use a background image, you should keep in mind:
Will the background image increase the loading time too much?
Will the background image look good with other images on the page?
Will the background image look good with the text colors on the page?
Will the background image look good when it is repeated on the page?
Will the background image take away the focus from the text?

• In HTML, images are defined with the tag.
• The tag is empty, which means that it contains attributes only and it has no closing tag.
• To display an image on a page, you need to use the src attribute. Src stands for "source". The value of the src attribute is the URL of the image you want to display on your page.
The syntax of defining an image:
| |

The alt attribute is used to define an "alternate text" for an image. The value of the alt attribute is an author-defined text:
| |
The "alt" attribute tells the reader what he or she is missing on a page if the browser can't load images. The browser will then display the alternate text instead of the image. It is a good practice to include the "alt" attribute for each image on a page, to improve the display and usefulness of your document for people who have text-only browsers.
Add alt attribute and use incorrect file name for your image to see alternate text.

|Bottom of Form |
The Form's Action Attribute and the Submit Button
When the user clicks on the "Submit" button, the content of the form is sent to another file. The form's action attribute defines the name of the file to send the content to. The file defined in the action attribute usually does something with the received input.
Method attribute specifies the method used to submit the form data, the default value is "get", and this attribute takes two values:
|Value |description |
|get |The form data is appended to the URL specified in the action attribute |
|post |The form data is sent to the server as separate message |
Add submit button to the form, when you click on this button the information well send to web page "html_form_action.asp"

| |
How it looks in a browser:
[pic]
If you click the "Submit" button, you will send your input to a page called "html_form_action.asp". That page will show you the received input, but now you well show error message because you don't have this page in your web site.
Activity 5.2 using Frames in you web page
With frames, you can display more than one HTML document in the same browser window. Each HTML document is called a frame, and each frame is independent of the others.
• The disadvantages of using frames are:
• The web developer must keep track of more HTML documents
• It is difficult to print the entire page
[pic]
The Frameset Tag
• The tag defines how to divide the window into frames
• Each frameset defines a set of rows or columns
• The values of the rows/columns indicate the amount of screen area each row/column will occupy
The Frame Tag
The tag defines what HTML document to put into each frame
In the example below we have a frameset with two columns. The first column is set to 25% of the width of the browser window. The second column is set to 75% of the width of the browser window. The HTML document "frame_a.htm" is put into the first column, and the HTML document "frame_b.htm" is put into the second column:
| |
| |
| |
| |
Note: The frameset column size value can also be set in pixels (cols="200,500"), and one of the columns can be set to use the remaining space (cols="25%,*").

Basic Notes - Useful Tips
If a frame has visible borders, the user can resize it by dragging the borderAdd the tag for browsers that do not support frames.
Important: You cannot use the tags together with the
Note: Check (student files) folder for different frames examples.
You need to create three html files for the following
activity
