Creating and Editing a Web Page
HTML Project 02
Saving an HTML File
HTML files must end with an extension of .htm or .html
HTML files with an extension of .html can be viewed on Web servers running an operating system that allows long file names (Windows). For Web servers that run an operating system that does not accept long file names, you need the .htm extension.
Saving an HTML File
In this book, all files are saved using the .htm extension.
When saving an HTML file, do NOT include any spaces in the file name. Although allowed in both Windows and Macintosh, it is NOT allowed on a UNIX Web server—and most Web servers run UNIX
The home page of a Web site should always be saved as index.htm.
Saving an HTML File
Save Notepad files with .htm extension (.html is also acceptable but not to be
used for classroom exercises)
.html Used for Web servers that run an operating system that allows long file names (Windows/Macintosh do allow)
.htm Used for Web servers that run an operating system that does not accept long file names

DOCTYPE – Initial Tags to Define a Web Page Structure
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html><head><title> Campus Tutoring</title></head><body> </body></html>
DOCTYPE – Initial Tags to Define a Web Page Structure
<!DOCTYPE> indicates the version and type of HTML used
DOCTYPE – Initial Tags to Define a Web Page Structure
<html> </html> Indicates the start and end of an HTML document
DOCTYPE – Initial Tags to Define a Web Page Structure
<title> </title> Indicates the start and end of a title
which does not appear in the Web page but appears on the Title Bar of the browser
(Always include your name and Project name)

<body> </body> Indicates the start and end of the Web page body
DOCTYPE – Initial Tags to Define a Web Page Structure
Most HTML tags have corresponding end tags—not all!
For tags that do not have end tags, such as <hr /> and <br />, the tag is closed using a space and a forward slash
Define the Web Page Structure
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<!DOCTYPE> tag is used to tell the browser which HTML or XHTML version and type the document uses. The W3C supports three document types:
Define the Web Page Structure strict (prohibits the use of deprecated tags--
tags that the W3C has named for eventual removal because newer, more functional tags are replacing them)
transitional (allows the use of deprecated tags)
frameset (used to support frames on a Web page and also allows the use of deprecated tags)
Notice that we are using a transitional
document type
Define the Web Page Structure The <!DOCTYPE> tag also includes a URL that
references a Document Type Definition (DTD) found on the W3C Web site. This is a file containing definitions of tags and how they should be used in a Web page.
To create an HTML document, you begin by inserting a <!DOCTYPE> tag and four sets of tags which define the overall structure of a standard Web page and divide the HTML file into its basic sections—such as the header information and the body of the page that contains text and graphics
Headings
Serve to separate text and introduce new topics
Tags = <h6> to <h1> (smallest to largest)
Heading size 1 = 24 point (usually only one <h1> tag per page)
Heading size 2 = 18 point Heading size 3 = 16 point Heading size 4 = 14 point Heading size 5 = 13 point Heading size 6 = 11 point Normal text = 12 point
Paragraphs: <p> </p>
Used to indicate the start of a new paragraph; the browser starts a new line and inserts a blank line above the new paragraph
Lists
Lists structure text into an itemized format—either bulleted or numbered
Ordered <ol> </ol> Also known as a numbered list formats information in a series using
numbers or letters Default type = Arabic numbers
Unordered <ul> </ul> Also known as a bulleted list formats information using small images
called bullets Default type = disc bullet
To change the defaults, the type attribute is entered within the <ol> or <ul> tags.
<ol type=”A”> or <ul type=”square”> After the <ol> or <ul> tag is entered to define the type of list,
the <li> and </li> tags are used to define a list item in an ordered or unordered list.
Images: <img>
Web pages use three types of files as images:
Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG), and Portable Network Graphics (PNG)
Attributes used with the <img> tag: src attribute = used to define the URL of the
image to load alt attribute = used to provide alternative
text if the image does not load
It is important to include the height and width attributes so the browser will know the size of the image without having to calculate it.
Adding these attributes will be expected every time you insert an image tag!
<img src=”cts_clip8.gif” width=”484” height=”62” alt=”Student Services logo” />
Background color: bgcolor attribute
Use a six-digit number code or a color name (predefined)
Must be added in the <body> tag (pg. 55)
Align attribute
Right: align=”right”Center: align=”center”
Left: align=”left”
By default, headings (and text) are left-aligned
Horizontal rule: <hr />
Does not have an end tag Tag is closed using a space and a forward
slash Visual divider of sections on a Web page Can use an inline image or the horizontal rule
tag Dimension is added to the default horizontal
rule by increasing the number of pixels that are displayed
Can also turn off shading using the noshade option
