Bare-Bones Basics of HTML

No source links recorded for this answer.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language for creating web pages. It uses tags to structure content. Key points: - Document structure - <!DOCTYPE html> — declares HTML5. - <html> — root element. - <head> — metadata: <title>, <meta>, <link>, <style>, <script> (usually not visible). - <body> — visible content: text, images, links, lists, etc. - Basic tags - <title>Your page title</title> — shown in browser tab (inside head). - Headings: <h1>…</h1> to <h6>…</h6>. - Paragraph: <p>Paragraph text</p>. - Links: <a href="https://example.com">link text</a>. - Images: <img src="image.jpg" alt="description"> (self-closing; include alt). - Lists: - Unordered: <ul><li>Item</li></ul> - Ordered: <ol><li>Item</li></ol> - Line break: <br> - Horizontal rule: <hr> - Attributes - Provide extra info inside opening tag: <tag attribute="value">. - Common attributes: id, class, href, src, alt, title, style. - Nesting and well-formedness - Tags should be properly opened and closed and nested (e.g., <p><strong>text</strong></p>). - Example minimal page <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>My Page</title> </head> <body> <h1>Hello</h1> <p>This is a minimal HTML page.</p> <a href="https://example.com">Visit example</a> </body> </html> - Where to learn next - Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) HTML guide: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML - W3C HTML specification and tutorials: https://www.w3.org/ and https://www.w3schools.com/html/ Tips: start by editing the example file, open it in a browser, and change tags/attributes to see effects.

What an HTML Attribute Is (and How It Works)

No source links recorded for this answer.

An attribute gives extra information about an element and lives inside the element’s opening tag. It has two parts: a name and a value, written like name="value". Example: <a href="https://example.com">link</a> Key points - Purpose: Attributes modify or configure an element’s behavior, appearance, or semantics. For example: - href on <a> tells the browser where the link goes. - src on <img> gives the image file location. - alt on <img> provides alternative text for accessibility and when the image fails to load. - id and class label elements so CSS and JavaScript can target them. - Syntax rules: - Placed inside the opening tag: <tag attr="value">content</tag>. - Most attribute values are quoted (double " " or single ' '); quotes are recommended for reliability. - Some attributes are boolean: writing the name alone implies true in HTML5 (e.g., <input disabled>), though you can also write disabled="disabled". - Multiple attributes are separated by spaces: <img src="a.jpg" alt="A" width="100"> - Types of attributes: - Global attributes: available on almost every element (e.g., id, class, style, title, data-*). - Element-specific attributes: only meaningful for certain tags (e.g., src for <img>, href for <a>, rows for <textarea>). - Data attributes: - Custom attributes that start with data- (e.g., data-user="123"). Useful to store information for scripts without affecting semantics. - Example uses: - Styling hook: <div id="main" class="highlight">...</div> - Link target: <a href="page.html" target="_blank">Open in new tab</a> - Accessibility: <button aria-label="Close">×</button> (aria-* attributes help assistive tech) References - MDN: HTML attributes — https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes - HTML Living Standard (global attributes) — https://html.spec.whatwg.org/ Try it: open your minimal page, add an id or class and use the browser devtools to inspect how attributes appear and how scripts/CSS can select them.
