Welcome to the discussion about the first assignment.
Leave your answers to the questions below in this thread. If you have any questions or you want to discuss something connected to the assignment feel free to do it in this thread as well, but please everything to the topic of HTML!
What is HTML and What is HTML used for?
1/2. HTML also known as Hyper Text Markup Language, is a programme language that allows you to set Structure to your content. For example HTML has something called a Series Of Elements that can make content appear a curtain way or even act a certain way. Some examples are Hyperlink a text or image to somewhere else of the website or simple task like changing Font size Big or small.
Why are we learning HTML?
- HTML the language that is used to be able to build our websites on. Having the basics understanding of HTML will allow us to move on to Java script and make to Websites we built on HTML more dynamic and be able to interact with the website in not a static way.
What is an HTML tag?
- A HTML tag is part of the Series Of Elements that is used to structure the content however you like. When you wish to make a text stand out a type a way, you would write in code how you want it to be. This is were tags come in. Before and at the end on your content you would have an opening tag an a closing TAG. The HTML language will understand what you imputed and execute your action.
What is the structure of an HTML tag?
- The structure of an HTML tags are as follows. For example if you wanted to structure you content a type of way before you line you would be inserting a Open Tag which would consist for example < p> my cat is very happy < /p>, at the very end you would be input a Close Tag. No the Opening and Close tags look very similar, but in order to get your desired effect at the closing tag you must place a / (forward slash) for the code to correctly give you the desired effect you wanted. When you have an opening Tag, your context and closing Tag combined together is called Elements.
What is an attribute?
- Now to make this interesting, an attribute allows the developer to input more information, within the Opening and Close Tags, but this will not show up on the changes that the developer wanted to make on the content. Attribute also as similar to Open & Close Tags but Instead called Attribute NAME and Attribute Value. The attribute name must have a space between it and if present the Opening tag. The attribute Value must be âwrappedâ with a quotation marks. To separate the Attribute Name & Value a = is place between the two but with no space.
What is the anatomy of an HTML document?
- When combine all your series of elements to form a HTML web page, Anatomy Structure is how is best described in HTML code.
Here are some of the elements that is used to make up a web page.
< !DOCTYPE html >, this is used as i understand insure that your Document behaves in the right way in the HTML protocol. There is no close tag for this element as i understand (Correct me if am wrong
)
2. < html> < /html >, This element wraps up ( or groups all your entire elements) your elements into 1 and is what would form your HTML web page. It is also none as a Root Element.
3.< head > < /head>, this element creates a bubble for all the attributes that you want to place in there, i.e information for search engines, page descriptions and also keywords, that you donât want to show on the actual page. This element will keep that separate from the others elements.
4. < meta charset=âutf-8â>, this element which has attributes in it, allows the character set your documents uses. It has a wide verity of understanding different programme languages. It is said best to us this element as it will allow to handle any textual content you might input.
5. < title>< /title>, this element set the as it sayâs the title of the page. This can also be used to bookmark/favourite a web page.
6. < body>< /body>, this element groups all the content that you want to show on you web page. This is any type of content that you want text, image, videos, etc that you want the user to see and experience with.
This what Anatomy of HTML web page would contest of.
P.S i know the elements donât have spaces between them, this was done on purpose so it could show on the homework.
