Chapter 3 Slide 4 Definitions html - HyperText Markup Language: a collection of styles indicated by mark-up tags which define the contents of a WWW document. http - HyperText Transfer Protocol: a low-overhead protocol to serve hypertext documents (access method). Web Browser - Software program that permits viewing of html files (e.g. Netscape, Internet Explorer) Web Page - what users see on their browser. Web Server - Computers used to store, Chapter 3 and provide access to, web pages. Slide 6 Web Page Addresses URI - Uniform Resource Identifier the location of a web document on a web server. URL - Uniform Resource Locator Chapter 3 the location of the web document on a web server as well as the location of the web server on the world wide network. Slide 7 The URL Expanded The access method Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): The path to the document http://www.whitehouse.gov/WH/EOP/nec/html/main.html Domain Name: The name of the computer with the files you want to see. Chapter 3 Slide 8 Two Basic Access Methods Internet/Extranet/Intranet http://www.whitehouse.gov/WH/EOP/nec/html/main.html On Local Machine file:///C|/WH/EOP/nec/html/main.html local hard drive Chapter 3 pipe: top part of the backslash (\) key Slide 12 HTML Code HTML consists of markup commands, or tags. Most tags are done in pairs. Chapter 3 Correct Incorrect <TAG1> <TAG2> Content </TAG2> </TAG1> <TAG1> <TAG2> Content </TAG1> </TAG2> Slide 13 A Basic HTML Document Chapter 3 The title is not <HTML> required but is recommended. It <HEAD> appears in the title <TITLE> My Document bar of the browser window. </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> Some text goes here. </BODY> Only information in the </HTML> body shows up in the browser window. Slide 14 Basic Structures Headings <H1>A heading</H1> Ranges from <H1> to <H6>. Paragraphs End a paragraph with a <P>. Line break Insert a line break with <BR>. Horizontal rule. <HR> Chapter 3 Slide 15 Let’s Look at a Sample Page Open an HTML document in Netscape. Under View, Select: View Page Source Take a look at the code and compare to the document. (Can get back to the document by closing the Page Source window.) Chapter 3 Slide 16 Chapter 3 Slide 17 <HTML> HTML Code for NEC <HEAD> <TITLE>National Economic Council</TITLE> <!-- URL "http://www.whitehouse.gov/WH/EOP/nec/html/main.html" --> </HEAD> <BODY background="bg_plain.jpg"> <A HREF="main_pla.htm"> [Text version]</A> <P> <TEXT> <IMG SRC=eagle.gif ALIGN=LEFT ALT="Picture of an Eagle."> Web Page <BR><BR><BR><BR> <CENTER><H1>National Economic Council</H1> Assistant to the President for Economic Policy <a href="necdir.htm"> Gene Sperling</a>, Director<br> Assistant to the President for International Economic Policy <a href="tarullo.htm"> Daniel K.

This hyperlink would take you to www.whitehouse.gov/WH/EOP/nec/html/main.html Chapter 3 Slide 20 Targets Targets mark locations in a document. To create a Target: Same document: <A HREF=“#Conclusion”> This is a specific location within a document where you might want to send someone. Chapter 3 Slide 21 Misc Markup Blockquote <BLOCKQUOTE>A Quote</BLOCKQUOTE> Special effects (logical) tags Emphasis: <EM></EM> Strong emphasis: <STRONG></STRONG> Citation: <CITE></CITE> Physical style tags Chapter 3 Italics: <I></I> Boldface: <B></B> Underline: <U></U> Slide 22 In HTML... The commands themselves are case insensitive. <H1> is the same as <h1> Whitespace does not count in HTML source code. Examples of one tag commands. Chapter 3 For example <P>, <BR>, and <HR>. Slide 23 Is this still true? No, can also use PNG. Images Can only use GIF(*.gif) or JPEG (*.jpg) format in HTML. GIF- Graphics Image Format: lossless, compressed graphics JPEG- Joint Photographic Expert Group: lossy, compressed graphics Follows the form <IMG SRC=“URL of graphic”> <IMG SRC=“graphic.gif” ALIGN=top ALT=“My graphic”> Text alignment Chapter 3 Displayed if image is not loaded Slide 24 Tables In HTML... A simple table looks like this: <TABLE> <tr> <td>First Row, First Column </td> <td>First Row, Second Column </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Second Row, First Column </td> <td>Second Row, Second Column </td> </tr> Chapter 3 </TABLE> Slide 25 Frames We typically see .... vertical frames twofram.htm left.htm right.htm threefram.htm top.htm horizontal frames middle.htm bottom.htm Chapter 3 Slide 26 Code for 2 Part Vertical Frame <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE></TITLE></HEAD> <FRAMESET COLS="31%,*" > <FRAME SRC="left.htm" NAME="FRAME_TOP" > <FRAME SRC="right.htm" NAME="FRAME_BODY" > </FRAMESET> </HTML> Chapter 3 Slide 27 What Makes a Good WEB Page? It should be more than just a hotlist. Layout and design Don't use an image just for the sake of it. Be consistent. Original content (unique!) Depth (Use hypertext in an intelligent way). Creativity (Everyone has the same set of tools). Personality Most importantly, it should accomplish its purpose. Chapter 3 Slide 28 Style Use Frames where it makes sense. Images Small images! Not everyone has a Pentium attached to a T-1 line. Can only use gif or jpeg images. Icons to add a dash of color. Browser variety Does the page make sense without images? Chapter 3 Slide 29 Structure Keep pages small. Big pages discourage people from returning. However, sub-pages do not get accessed very much. If more than a few pages, create a directory. Use internal links (bookmarks) for larger pages. Remember, the Web will not make you an instant writer or artist. Chapter 3 Slide 30 HTML Tools Editor Any text editor can be used, Notepad is good. NoteTab is even better. Claris HomeBuilder, Homesite are easy too. Netscape 4.5 Page Composer, IE 4.0 Graphics program Chapter 3 Anything that can handle gifs and jpegs. Adobe Photoshop does a good job. LView is a nice shareware graphics viewer. (http://world.std.com/~mmedia/lviewp.html) Slide 31 Questions about WWW NETs What is What are they? VRML? When to use them? How to evaluate their use? How to evaluate their benefits? How to evaluate their costs? Are there any ethical issues concerning their creation and their use?
