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 HTML Attributes Are and How They Work

No source links recorded for this answer.

An HTML attribute gives extra information about an element and appears inside the element’s opening tag as name="value". Attributes modify element behavior, provide data, or connect the element to resources or styles. Key points - Syntax: <tag attribute="value">. Example: <a href="https://example.com">link</a> - attribute is the name (href). value is the attribute’s data ("https://example.com"). - Some attributes are boolean (presence alone matters): e.g., <input disabled> or <button disabled>. - Common attribute types and examples - Linking and resources: - href (links): <a href="…">, <link href="…"> - src (source for images, scripts): <img src="pic.jpg">, <script src="app.js"> - Identification and styling: - id: unique identifier for the element: <div id="header"> - class: one or more CSS classes: <p class="intro highlight"> - style: inline CSS: <h1 style="color:blue"> - Accessibility and semantics: - alt (image description): <img src="cat.jpg" alt="A black cat"> - title (tooltip): <abbr title="World Health Organization">WHO</abbr> - Form-related: - name, value, type, placeholder, required, disabled, maxlength, etc. - Rules and best practices - Attribute values should be quoted (single or double quotes): class="btn" or class='btn'. - Use id for unique elements, class for reusable styles. - Prefer semantic attributes (alt, aria-*) for accessibility. - Keep presentation in CSS (use class/id + stylesheet) rather than many inline style attributes. - Avoid adding irrelevant attributes; use attributes for meaningful data. - Boolean attributes - Either present or absent; value is optional. Example: <input required> means required="required". - In HTML, writing disabled or disabled="disabled" both work; in XHTML you must use the value form. - Data attributes (custom data) - Use data-* to attach custom data for scripts: <div data-user-id="42" data-role="admin"> - Accessible in JavaScript via dataset (element.dataset.userId). - How browsers use them - Attributes inform the browser how to render, which resource to load, and how scripts/styles interact with elements. Quick examples - Image with alt and title: <img src="photo.jpg" alt="Sunset over lake" title="Evening sunset"> - Link that opens new tab: <a href="https://example.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Visit</a> - Element with classes and data: <button class="btn primary" data-action="save">Save</button> References - MDN: HTML attributes — https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes - MDN: Using data attributes — https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Howto/Use_data_attributes If you want, I can show how to read/write attributes with JavaScript or give practice examples to try.
