Entering HTML Tags and Text • Four tags define the overall structure of standard Web pages: • <HTML> and </HTML> • Indicates file is an HTML document • <HEAD> and </HEAD> • Introduction to the rest of the file • Indicates the area where the title will be placed • <TITLE> and </TITLE> • Indicates the title that will display in the title bar • <BODY> and </BODY> • Indicates the boundaries of the Web page

Basic HTMl tags <html> <Title>MY PAGE</Title> <Body> ….. </Body> </html>

Click the Save button Saving the HTML File

Using a Browser to View a Web Page • After you save your HTML file, you may view your Web page in a browser • The HTML file displays in your browser just as it would on the Web • Windows allows you to view the page in your browser while keeping Notepad open

Color Codes In order to change text colors, you will need two things: 1. A command to change the text. 2. A color code (A hex code). The color codes, as I said above, are technically called Hex Codes.. The codes are not too user friendly, and you'll need a chart to tell you what code makes what color. See color code examples

Background Colors

Adding Background Color Locate the 6-character code of the color you wish to use

You have the ability to change full page text colors over four levels: • <TEXT="######"> - This denotes the full page text color. • <LINK="######"> - This denotes the color of the links on your page. • <ALINK="######"> - This denotes the color the link will flash when clicked upon. • <VLINK="######"> - This denotes the colors of the links after they have been visited. • These commands come right below the <TITLE> commands. Again, in that position they affect everything on the page. Also... place them all together inside the same command along with any background commands. Something like this: • < BODY BGCOLOR="######" TEXT="######" LINK="######" VLINK="######">

You can also use an image as a background, e.g. http://www.kean.edu/~gkolodiy/3122/blue_pap.gif <html> <Title>MY PAGE</Title> <Body background=“blue_pap.gif”> <Title>MY PAGE</Title> <Body> ….. </Body>

Headings • Used to separate text and introduce new topics • Vary in size, from <H1> through <H6> • Use the same sized heading for the same level of topic

Paragraphs • Most text on Web pages is in paragraph format • The <P> tag has an optional ending tag • When a browser finds a <P> tag, it starts a new line and adds a paragraph break • Try not to type large sections of text without having paragraph breaks

paragraph tag and text <P>Hello there</P> <P>Hello there</P> Hello there<BR> Hello there The <BR> (break) tag breaks a line of text and starts a new line, but does not add vertical spacing like a <P> tag

Creating a List • Lists structure your text in outline format • Unordered (bulleted) lists • <UL> and </UL> marks the beginning and end of unordered lists • Ordered (numbered) lists • <OL> and </OL> marks the beginning and end of ordered lists • The <LI> and </LI> tags define list items • The TYPE attribute defines the default bullet or number type

Unordered Lists <H3>Unordered Lists</H3> <UL TYPE=“disc”> <LI>First item – type disc</LI> <LI>Second item – type disc</LI> </UL> <UL TYPE=“square”> <LI>First item – type square</LI> <LI>Second item – type square</LI> <UL> <UL TYPE=“circle”> <LI>First item – type circle</LI> <LI>Second item – type circle</LI> </UL>

Ordered Lists <H3>Ordered Lists</H3> <OL TYPE=“1”> <LI>First item – type 1</LI> <LI>Second item – type 1</LI> </OL> <OL TYPE=“A”> <LI>First item – type A</LI> <LI>Second item – type A</LI> </OL> <OL TYPE=“a”> <LI>First item – type a</LI> <LI>Second item – type a</LI> </OL> <OL TYPE=“I”> <LI>First item – type I</LI> <LI>Second item – type I</LI> </OL> <OL TYPE=“i”> <LI>First item – type i</LI> <LI>Second item – type i</LI> </OL>
