HTML Code Formatting
The HTML source code should be formatted to
increase readability and facilitate debugging.
Every block element should start on a new line.
Every nested (block) element should be indented.
Browsers ignore multiple whitespaces in the page
source, so formatting is harmless.
For performance reasons, formatting can be
sacrificed

Block and Inline Elements
Block elements add a line break before and
after them
<div> is a block element
Other block elements are <table>, <hr>,
headings, lists, <p> and etc.
Inline elements don’t break the text before
and after them
<span> is an inline element
Most HTML elements are inline, e.g. <a>
33
The <div> Tag
<div> creates logical divisions within a page
Block style element
Example:
div-and-span.html
<div style="font-size:24px; color:red">DIV
example</div>
<p>This one is <span style="color:red; font-
weight:bold">only a test</span>.</p>

HTML Tables
Tables represent tabular data
A table consists of one or several rows
Each row has one or more columns
Tables
comprised of several core tags:
<table></table>: begin / end the table
<tr></tr>: create a table row
<td></td>: create tabular data (cell)
Tables should not be used for layout. Use CSS
floats and positioning styles instead
35
Simple HTML Tables – Example (2)
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td><img src="ppt.gif"></td>
<td><a href="lecture1.ppt">Lecture 1</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="ppt.gif"></td>
<td><a href="lecture2.ppt">Lecture 2</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="zip.gif"></td>
<td><a href="lecture2-demos.zip">
Lecture 2 - Demos</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
36
Complete HTML Tables
Table rows
split into three semantic sections:
header, body and footer
<thead> denotes table header and contains
<th> elements, instead of <td> elements
<tbody> denotes collection of table rows that
contain the very data
<tfoot> denotes table footer but comes
BEFORE the <tbody> tag
<colgroup> and <col> define columns (most
often used to set column widths)
37
Complete HTML Table:
By default, header text Example (2)
<table> is bold and centered. table-full.html
<colgroup>
<col style="width:200px" /><col />
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr><th>Column 1</th><th>Column 2</th></tr>
</thead>
<tfoot>
<tr><td>Footer 1</td><td>Footer 2</td></tr>
</tfoot>
<tbody>
<tr><td>CellAlthough the footer
1.1</td><td>Cell is
1.2</td></tr>
<tr><td>Cell before the data in 2.2</td></tr>
2.1</td><td>Cell the
</tbody> code, it is displayed last
</table>

HTML Forms
Forms are the primary method for gathering
data from site visitors
Create a form block with
<form></form>
The “method" attribute tells how
the form data should be sent –
Example: via GET or POST request
Radio buttons:
<input type="radio" name="title" value="Mr." />
42
Other Form Controls
Dropdown menus:
<select name="gender">
<option value="Value 1"
selected="selected">Male</option>
<option value="Value 2">Female</option>
<option value="Value 3">Other</option>
</select>
Submit button:
43
Other Form Controls (2)

<input type="reset" name="resetBtn"
value="Reset the form" />

text to a form field using the field's ID.
<label for="fn">First Name</label>
<input type="text" id="fn" />
49
