Web Designing with HTML
Have you ever thought about how these web pages are made, how these websites work? If so, this blog is for you. All you need is a logical mind and an interest in creating things.
Introduction
HTML, HyperText Markup Language, gives content structure and meaning by defining that content as, for example, headings, paragraphs, or images.
A website is not made using only HTML. With HTML we also use CSS and JAVASCRIPT, which we will discuss later.
While learning Web Designing, the three common HTML terms you should begin with are elements, tags, and attributes.
Elements
Elements are designators that define the structure and content of objects within a page. Elements are identified by the use of less-than and greater-than angle brackets, < >, surrounding the element name.
Some of the more frequently used elements include multiple levels of headings ( <h1> through <h6> elements) and paragraphs (<p>); the list goes on to include the <a>, <div>, <span>, <strong>, and <em> elements, and many more.
Tags
The use of less-than and greater-than angle brackets surrounding an element creates what is known as a tag. Tags most commonly occur in pairs of opening and closing tags.
An opening tag marks the beginning of an element. It consists of a less-than sign followed by an element’s name, and then ends with a greater-than sign; for example, <a>.
A closing tag marks the end of an element. It consists of a less-than sign followed by a forward slash and the element’s name, and then ends with a greater-than sign; for example, </a>.
Attributes
Attributes are properties used to provide additional information about an element. The most common attributes include the id attribute, which identifies an element; the class attribute, which classifies an element; the src attribute, which specifies a source for embeddable content; and the href attribute, which provides a hyperlink reference to a linked resource.
