Among those languages, HTML is the most basic text-based language that has been used in web design since 1989. HTML consists of two parts: 1) content that will be displayed in a web browser, and 2) markup or tags, which are encoded information that are generally hidden from web page viewers. This three-part handout will help users create a basic website using fundamental HTML knowledge that they can build on with more advanced techniques. The first part covers web design basics, including the use of divisions to arrange the page layout, menu bar to link multiple pages, and CSS3 to enhance web page elements. Downloading the Data Files This handout includes sample data files that can be used for hands-on practice. The data files are stored in a self-extracting archive. The archive must be downloaded and executed in order to extract the data files. The data files used with this handout are available for download at http://www.calstatela.edu/its/training/datafiles/html5p1.exe. Instructions on how to download and extract the data files are available at http://www.calstatela.edu/its/docs/download.php. Requirements A text editor, preferably Notepad++ or something similar. Notepad that is provided with Windows will also work. Notepad++ − http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download − http://portableapps.com/apps/development/notepadpp_portable (Portable version that can be placed on a flash drive) A current web browser (e.g., Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Internet Explorer 9). Mozilla Firefox http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/ . Google Chrome http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/landing_chrome.html?hl=en . Internet Explorer 9 (Only on Windows 7 and Windows Vista Service Pack 2) http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie NOTE: Anything below Internet Explorer 9 is not compatible with the new HTML5 features. While any on the list above is acceptable, this handout was developed based on the steps administered in Notepad++ and Mozilla Firefox. About Notepad++ Notepad++ is a lightweight, but powerful text editing tool (see Figure 1). It is built primarily for programming, not writing essays. It has built-in tag highlighting and automatic indentation which helps improve organization and readability. HTML5 and CSS3 Part 1: Using HTML and CSS to Create a Website Layout 3 Figure 1 – Notepad++ Program Window About HTML and CSS HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are two of the core technologies for building web pages. HTML is the language for describing the structure of web pages. CSS is the language for describing the presentation of web pages, including colors, layout, and fonts. The separation of HTML from CSS makes it easier to maintain websites and share style sheets across web pages. HTML5 HTML5 is still a work in progress and has been since June of 2004. Most of the tags that were compatible in previous versions of HTML are still compatible. However, they are no longer used because better and cleaner methods have since been found. HTML5 is still not final, but is already making a huge impact on the web. Basic HTML Tags HTML uses tags to describe the structure of web pages. Web browsers use the tags in an HTML document to interpret the content and display it as a web page. For every HTML based web page, there are several tags that are always inserted into the document: <!doctype>, <html>, <head>, <title>, and <body> (see Figure 2). Figure 2 – Source Code for a Blank HTML Page HTML5 and CSS3 Part 1: Using HTML and CSS to Create a Website Layout 4 HTML Tag Syntax HTML tags are keywords surrounded by angle brackets (< and >). HTML tags normally come in pairs (e.g., <body> and </body>). The first tag in a pair is called the opening tag, and the second tag is called the closing tag. The opening tag consists of the tag name enclosed in angle brackets (e.g., <body>). The closing tag is the same as the opening tag except it has a forward slash (/) before the tag name (e.g., </body>). Head and Body Tags Web pages are divided into two sections: the head and the body. The head section is where you define the title of the web page, provide metadata about the page (e.g., keywords, character encoding), add style sheets, and insert scripts. The body section encloses the contents of the web page, the part that your visitors will see, including text, hyperlinks,

  • Text Editing in UNIX: an Introduction to Vi and Editing
    Text Editing in UNIX A short introduction to vi, pico, and gedit Copyright 20062009 Stewart Weiss About UNIX editors There are two types of text editors in UNIX: those that run in terminal windows, called text mode editors, and those that are graphical, with menus and mouse pointers. The latter require a windowing system, usually X Windows, to run. If you are remotely logged into UNIX, say through SSH, then you should use a text mode editor. It is possible to use a graphical editor, but it will be much slower to use. I will explain more about that later. 2 CSci 132 Practical UNIX with Perl Text mode editors The three text mode editors of choice in UNIX are vi, emacs, and pico (really nano, to be explained later.) vi is the original editor; it is very fast, easy to use, and available on virtually every UNIX system. The vi commands are the same as those of the sed filter as well as several other common UNIX tools. emacs is a very powerful editor, but it takes more effort to learn how to use it. pico is the easiest editor to learn, and the least powerful. pico was part of the Pine email client; nano is a clone of pico. 3 CSci 132 Practical UNIX with Perl What these slides contain These slides concentrate on vi because it is very fast and always available. Although the set of commands is very cryptic, by learning a small subset of the commands, you can edit text very quickly. What follows is an outline of the basic concepts that define vi.

  • Chapter 10 Document Object Model and Dynamic HTML
    Chapter 10 Document Object Model and Dynamic HTML The term Dynamic HTML, often abbreviated as DHTML, refers to the technique of making Web pages dynamic by client-side scripting to manipulate the document content and presen- tation. Web pages can be made more lively, dynamic, or interactive by DHTML techniques. With DHTML you can prescribe actions triggered by browser events to make the page more lively and responsive. Such actions may alter the content and appearance of any parts of the page. The changes are fast and e±cient because they are made by the browser without having to network with any servers. Typically the client-side scripting is written in Javascript which is being standardized. Chapter 9 already introduced Javascript and basic techniques for making Web pages dynamic. Contrary to what the name may suggest, DHTML is not a markup language or a software tool. It is a technique to make dynamic Web pages via client-side programming. In the past, DHTML relies on browser/vendor speci¯c features to work. Making such pages work for all browsers requires much e®ort, testing, and unnecessarily long programs. Standardization e®orts at W3C and elsewhere are making it possible to write standard- based DHTML that work for all compliant browsers. Standard-based DHTML involves three aspects: 447 448 CHAPTER 10. DOCUMENT OBJECT MODEL AND DYNAMIC HTML Figure 10.1: DOM Compliant Browser Browser Javascript DOM API XHTML Document 1. Javascript|for cross-browser scripting (Chapter 9) 2. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)|for style and presentation control (Chapter 6) 3. Document Object Model (DOM)|for a uniform programming interface to access and manipulate the Web page as a document When these three aspects are combined, you get the ability to program changes in Web pages in reaction to user or browser generated events, and therefore to make HTML pages more dynamic.

If an emergency, please either call/text. Please send email to UF email address; do not use the mail function within Canvas. INSTRUCTOR TEACHING PHILOSOPHY: Instructor plans on teaching this class where she assumes that you are a beginner in the subject matter. She believes a proper web designer should be able to develop a website from the ground up; meaning coding HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from scratch before using pretty web design software. :) She feels people tend to skip over the basics and go right to the items they want to implement; however without a strong base, you cannot build anything without it collapsing. ABOUT THE COURSE PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS: ● Prerequisite courses: MMC5277 Web Design Principles, VIC5325 Digital Imagery, and VIC5326 Digital Layout. ● Students should have a firm working knowledge of HTML and CSS coding as well as uploading websites via FTP. PURPOSE: This course will expand the basic coding of XHTML and CSS learned in MMC5277. The course will cover three main topics: HTML5 and CSS3, foundations of JavaScript. We will also cover advanced web design using Adobe Dreamweaver.
