HTML Notes Part-1
HTML Notes Part-1
Html, css & JavaScript are web technologies, these techs are
used to develop web applications.
WHAT IS APPLICATION OR SOFTWARE?
Application is an Automation process of manual business operations
(human being work) by using a programming language.
Data layer is database software where we can store client related data.
Business layer will interact with the data layer.
HOW MANY TYPES OF WEB APPLICATIONS WE HAVE?
A webpage is an electronic page developed on HTML.
A web page is a group of elements.
Collection of WebPages or web documents is called web application
(website).
STATIC WEB APPS:
⇨ The static web app directly delivers the content to the end user’s
browser without fetching any data from the server. Most static
web apps are known to be simple and effortless to develop across
the web.
⇨ HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are used to develop most static web
applications.
⇨ You can also add GIFs, animations, videos in static web apps.
CMS APPS
A content management system (CMS) allows website owners to create,
edit, and publish content, including images, text, and video, without
involving a technical team. You can modify content through an admin
panel without any knowledge of programming language.
Ex: Webflow, Wordpress
Internet
Internet stands for international networking.
The Internet is a network of connected computers. No company owns
the Internet; it is a cooperative effort governed by a system of standards
and rules. The purpose of connecting computers together, of course, is
to share information.
Client
A client is a device that connects to and uses the resources of a remote
computer, or server.
Clients may use a desktop or a laptop or a tablet or a mobile phone or a
TV or a car etc.
The device which is used by the user is called a “Client”.
User
The person who is working on/operating a client machine is
known as User or end-user.
What is web browser?
It is client-side lightweight software installed in client machine. It sends http
request from client to server; it takes http response from server.
Browser provides navigation among web pages, and browsers executes html, css,
JavaScript files and displays output to user.
HTML Versions
From W3C organization there are fallowing versions released.

HTML introduction
1. HTML was developed by “Tim-Berners-Lee”, released in 1993 and
maintained by W3C Org.
GML SGML HTML
4. HTML is used to design "static web pages", means HTML is used to create
elements (such as headings, paragraphs, icons, menus, logos, images, textboxes,
button etc) in the web pages.
static webpage means, that pages always showing same information.
6. HTML is “client side tech”. That means the html code executes on the client
browser but not in server.
8. HTML is used in all real time web sites today; html is the only language
available in world for designing Web pages.
12. For working html no need installs any software, and browser is responsible for
executing & producing output of html programs.
14. HTML is not a case sensitive language that means you can write the html code
in either upper case or lower case.
types of tags:
in html we have two types tags, those are:
paired tags
Contains open tag and closing tag.
opening tag specifies starting point of operation/output, closing tag specifies
ending point of operation/output.
Syn: <tagname>something</tagname>
ex: <html> ... </html>
<head> ... </head>
<body> … </body>
<script> ... </script>
<style> ... </style>
<p> … </p>
note: paired tags also called as body-full tags
unpaired tags
contains only open tag.
VOID => ITS not RETURNING ANY VALUE
Syn: <tagname> or <tagname/>
ex: <br/> <img/><input/>
<hr>
<link>
note: Unpaired tags also called as body-less tags
Structure of HTML
as per W3C we have to follow the following structure to design web pages (but it’s
not comp).
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang=”en”> web page/document designing starts here
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html> web page/document designing ends here
versioning section
This is providing information to the browser which version we are using in the web
page/program. So, browser is interpreting code and producing output as per given
specification.
Syn:
HTML4.0:
HTML5:
html tag
The <html> tag represents the starting and ending of an html program. html tag
contains two child/sub tags those are head tag and body tag.
head tag
head tag represents a non-content section (means not output) of the web page.
This information doesn't appear on the web page/in the browser (it's called as
non-content), but it's used internally by the browser.
This tag is used to set icons, title, to provide some meta data (info about web app),
css settings, java scripting etc...
body tag
body tag represents content information (means output) of the web page.
this information appears on the web page/in the browser (it’s called content).
some of tags: p, img, h1, table, div, a, table, audio, video, input, button, form, ol,
ul, li, hr tags …
⇒ save that program with any name (.html or .htm) and anywhere in the system.
⇒ execution:
2nd Approach: goto file location, then right click on file and click on open
then select browser
3rd Approach: open any browser, then goto address bar and type filename
with address.
comment lines
⇒ Comment lines are to provide some description about our program.
Syn:
heading tags
These tags are used to print data/text in heading format.
html provides 6 heading tags, those are h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6.
Note: inside the body section we can repeat any tag and no.of times.
p tag
> p stands for paragraph.
Syn:
Note:
>browser/html doesn't accept more than one space (space bar & tab key), means
while designing the program we are given more space but browser prints only one
space.
>browser/html doesn't accept enter key (line breaking), means while designing a
program we use enter key but browser prints data without breaking line.

2ndApproch (internal):
Html tags and css styles are designed in the same program, but not in same
line.
Internal css should be implements in Style tag, style tag must be sub tag
head tag.

property:value;
property:value;
…
}
Selector{
property:value;
property:value;

code saved with separate file “.html”
Use link tag for mapping css file to html file

note:
css attributes we can't use in place of html attributes.
