Introduction
 HTML is a markup language for describing and

creating web documents (web pages).
 HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.
 A markup language is a set of markup tags.
 HTML documents are described by small HTML tags
that tell the Web browser how to display the page.
 Each HTML tag describes different document
content.
 An HTML file must have an htm or html file extension
(Ex. “MySite.html” or “MySite.htm”).

Introduction
 HTML Tags
• HTML tags are keywords (tag names) surrounded by angle
brackets:
<tagname>content goes here...</tagname>
• HTML tags normally come in pairs like <p> and </p>.
• The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end
tag.
• The end tag is written like the start tag, but with a forward
slash inserted before the tag name.
• The start tag is also called the opening tag, and the end tag
the closing tag.
Introduction
 Web Browsers
• The purpose of a web browser (Chrome, IE, Firefox, Safari) is to
read HTML documents and display them.
• The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses them to
determine how to display the document:
Activity
feps.edu.eg > Crtl + U to view page source
Activity
feps.edu.eg > Crtl + U to view page source
HTML!

Introduction
 HTML Editors
• Web pages can be created and modified by using professional
HTML editors.
• However, for learning HTML we recommend a simple text editor
like Notepad (PC) or TextEdit (Mac).
• Using a simple text editor is a good way to learn HTML.
• Follow the next section to create your first web page with
Notepad.

In computers, encoding is the
process of putting a sequence of
Starting with HTML characters (letters, numbers,

punctuation, and certain symbols)
into a specialized format for
efficient transmission or storage.
Ex. UTF-8 encoding will store
"hello" like this (binary): 01101000
01100101 01101100 01101100
01101111
Set the encoding to Unicode Transformation

Format-8 (UTF-8) (which is the preferred
encoding for web pages)

You can use either .htm or .html as file 7
extension. There is no difference, it is
up to you.
Starting with HTML
Open the saved HTML file in

your favorite browser (double
click on the file, or right-click -
and choose "Open with").
The result will look much like
this:
HTML Elements
17
HTML Elements
 An HTML element usually consists of a start tag and end tag, with the

content inserted in between:
<tagname>content goes here...</tagname>
 The HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag:
Start Tag Element Content End Tag
<h1> My First Heading <h1>
<p> My first paragraph. </p>
<br> - -
Some HTML elements are empty (have no content)

and do not have an end tag, such as the <br> element
(which indicates a line break).
HTML Elements
 HTML elements can be nested (elements can contain elements).

 All HTML documents consist of nested HTML elements.
 For example, the below example contains four HTML elements:
HTML Example Explained
<!DOCTYPE html> The <html> element content is another HTML
<html> element (the <body> element).
<body>
The <body> element content is two other HTML
<h1>My First Heading</h1> elements (<h1> and <p>).
The <h1> element content is: My First Heading.
</body>
</html> The <p> element content is: My first paragraph.
HTML Elements
 Do Not Forget the End Tag

• Some HTML elements will display correctly, even if you forget the end
tag.
• Never rely on this.
• It might produce unexpected results and/or errors if you forget the
endHTML
tag. Example Explained
<html> This example works in all browsers, because the
<body> closing tag is considered optional.
<p>This is a
paragraph </p>
<p>This is a
paragraph </p>
</body>
</html>
HTML Elements
 Empty HTML Elements

• HTML elements with no content are called empty elements.
• <br> is an empty element without a closing tag (the <br> tag defines
a line break).
• Empty elements can be "closed" in the opening tag like this: <br />.
• HTML5 does not require empty elements to be closed. But if you want
stricter validation, or if you need to make your document readable, you
must
HTMLclose all HTML elements properly. Text Displayed in

HTML Elements
 Use Lowercase Tags

• HTML tags are not case sensitive: <P> means the same as <p>.
• The HTML5 standard does not require lowercase tags, but
it recommends lowercase in HTML.

<html>

text BIG or bold.
 Headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags.
 <h1> defines the most important heading. <h6> defines the least
important heading.
 Browsers automatically add some white space (a margin) before and
after a heading.
 Headings Are Important:
• Search engines use the headings to index the structure and content of your web
pages.
• Users skim your pages by its headings. It is important to use headings to
show the document structure.
• <h1> headings should be used for main headings, followed by <h2> headings,
then the less important <h3>, and so on.
HTML Headings

</body>
</html> bold.
HTML Horizontal Ruler
 The <hr> tag defines a thematic break in an HTML page, and is most
often displayed as a horizontal rule.
 The <hr> element is used to separate content (or define a change) in an
HTML page:
<h1>This is heading 1</h1> This is heading 1
<p>This is some text.</p>
<hr> This is some text.

<p>This is some other text.</p>
<hr> This is some other text.

<p>This is some other text.</p>
This is some other text.
The HTML <head> Element
 The HTML <head> element has nothing to do with HTML headings.

 The <head> element is a container for metadata (data about data).
 HTML metadata is data about the HTML document.
 Metadata is not displayed, but will be machine parsable. Metadata typically
define document title, styles, links, scripts, and other meta information.
 The following tags describe metadata: <title>, <style>, <meta>, <link>,
<script>, and <base>.
 For example, the <title> element defines the title of the document, and is
required in all HTML documents. The <title> element:
 Defines a title in the browser tab.
 Provides a title for the page when it is added to favorites.
 Displays a title for the page in search engine results.
The HTML <head> Element
 The <head> element is placed between the <html> tag and the <body>
tag:
<!DOCTYPE html>
The HTML head element contains
<html>
<head> meta data.
<title>My First HTML</title>
Meta data is data about the HTML
</head>
<body> document.
<p>The HTML head element contains

meta data.</p>
<p>Meta data is data about the
HTML document.</p>
</body>
</html>
HTML Paragraphs
 The HTML <p> element defines a paragraph:

<!DOCTYPE html>
This is a paragraph.
<html>
<body> This is a paragraph.
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html> Note: Browsers
automatically add some
white space (a margin)
before and after a
paragraph.

HTML Line Breaks
 The HTML <br> element defines a line break.

 The <br> tag is an empty tag, which means that it has no end tag.
(Discussed before).
 Use <br> if you want a line break (a new line) without starting a new
paragraph:
<!DOCTYPE html> This is
<html> a paragraph
<body> with line breaks
<p>This is<br>a
paragraph<br>with line breaks</p>
</body>
</html>
The HTML <pre> Element
 The HTML <pre> element defines preformatted text.

 The text inside a <pre> element is displayed in a fixed-width font
(usually Courier), and it preserves both spaces and line breaks:
<p>The pre tag preserves both spaces The pre tag preserves both spaces
and line breaks:</p> and line breaks:
<pre> My Bonnie lies over the ocean.
My Bonnie lies over the ocean. My Bonnie lies over the sea.
My Bonnie lies over the sea. My Bonnie lies over the ocean.
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
My Bonnie lies over the ocean.
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

</pre>
How to View HTML Source
 Have you ever seen a Web page and wondered

"Hey! How did they do that?"
 To find out, right-click in the page and select

"View Page Source" (in Chrome) or "View
Source" (in IE), or similar in another browser. This
will open a window containing the HTML code of
the page.
HTML Attributes
34
HTML Attributes
 All HTML elements can have attributes.

 Attributes provide additional information about an element.
 Attributes are always specified in the start tag.
 Attributes usually come in name/value pairs like: name="value".
 The title attribute can be written with uppercase or lowercase
like Title and/or TITLE.
HTML Attributes
 The Lang Attribute

• The language of the document can be declared in the <html> tag.
• The language is declared with the lang attribute.
• Declaring a language is important for accessibility applications (screen
readers) and search engines:
HTML Example Explained
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
<body>
The first two letters specify the language (en). If
... there is a dialect, use two more letters (US).
</body>
</html>
HTML Attributes
 The href Attribute

• HTML links are defined with the <a> tag. The link address is specified in
the href attribute:
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com">This is a link</a>
• “a” stands for Anchor and “href” stands for Hypertext Reference.
• As with any HTML tag it is very important to close the tag. If you forget to
close your anchor tag, the rest of your document will appear as a hyperlink.
 Size Attributes
• HTML images are defined with the <img> tag.
• The filename of the source (src), and the size of the image
(width and height) are all provided as attributes:
<img src="w3schools.jpg" width="104" height="142">
HTML Attributes
 The alt Attribute

• The alt attribute specifies an alternative text to be used, when an image
cannot be displayed.
• The value of the attribute can be read by screen readers. This way, someone
"listening" to the webpage, e.g. a blind person, can "hear" the element.
<img src="w3schools.jpg" alt= "W3Schools.com" width=
"104" height= "142">
You will learn more about images, links and the <a> tag later in this
tutorial.
HTML Attributes
 Quote Attribute Values

• The HTML5 standard does not require quotes around attribute values.
• The href attribute, demonstrated above, can be written as:
<a href= http://www.w3schools.com>
<html> W3C is a link to a website on the
<body> World Wide Web.
W3C is a link to a website on the
<p><a World Wide Web.
href="http://www.w3.org/">W3C</a> is a
link to a website on the World Wide Web.</p>
<p><a href=http://www.w3.org/>W3C</a>
is a link to a website on the World Wide
Web.</p>
</body>
HTML Styles
40

HTML Text Formatting
47
 In the previous section, you learned about the

HTML style attribute.
 HTML also defines special elements for defining
text with a special meaning.
 HTML uses elements like <b> and <i> for
formatting output, like bold or italic text.
 Formatting elements were designed to display
special types of text:
<b> - Bold text; <i> - Italic text; <mark> - Marked
text; <small> - Small text;<ins> - Subscript text;
<sup> - Superscript text.
 HTML <b> Element

• The HTML <b> element defines bold text, without any extra

HTML Links
 Local Links
• The previous example used an absolute URL (A full web address).
• A local link (link to the same web site) is specified with a relative URL
(without http://www....).
<!DOCTYPE html> HTML Images is a link to a page on this
<html> website.

HTML Links
 HTML Links: Colors
• When you move the mouse over a link, two things will normally
happen:
• The mouse arrow will turn into a little hand.
• The color of the link element will change.
• By default, a link will appear like this (in all browsers):

• An unvisited link is underlined and blue.
• A visited link is underlined and purple.
• An active link is underlined and red.
HTML Links
 You can change the default colors, by using styles:
HTML
<style> a: active {
a: link { color: yellow;
color: green; background-color: transparent;
background-color: text-decoration: underline;
transparent; }
text-decoration: none; </style>
} <body>
a: visited {
color: pink; <p>You can change the default
background-color: colors of links</p>
transparent;
text-decoration: none; <a href="html_images.asp"
} target="_blank">HTML
a: hover { Images</a>
color: red;
background-color: </body>
transparent;
HTML Links
 HTML Links: The target Attribute
• The target attribute specifies where to open the linked document.
• The target attribute can have one of the following values:
• _blank (Opens the linked document in a new window or tab); _self – (Opens the linked
document in the same window/tab as it was clicked (this is default)); _parent – (Opens
the linked document in the parent frame); _top – (Opens the linked document in the full
body of the window); framename – (Opens the linked document in a named frame).
• This example will open the linked document in a new browser
window/tab:
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/html/" Visit our HTML tutorial!
target="_blank">Visit our HTML tutorial! If you set the target attribute to "_blank",
</a> the link will open in a new browser window
or tab.
<p>If you set the target attribute to "_blank",
the link will open in a new browser window or
tab.</p>
HTML Links
 HTML Links: Image as Link
• It is common to use images as links:
<body> The image is a link. You can click on
it.
<p>The image is a link. You can click on it.</p>
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiley"> We have added "border:0" to

HTML Links
 Mailto Link
• It follows the same coding scheme as the hypertext link before.
• <a href="mailto:nahed.taha@feps.edu.eg">Click Here To Write Me</a>
• Notice it's the same format as a link except in a link you write "mailto:"
in place of the http:// and your e-mail address in place of the page

HTML Links
 HTML Links: Create a Bookmark
• HTML bookmarks are used to allow readers to jump to specific parts of a Web page.
• Bookmarks can be useful if your webpage is very long.
• To make a bookmark, you must first create the bookmark, and then add a link to it.
• When the link is clicked, the page will scroll to the location with the bookmark.
First, create a bookmark with the id attribute:
<h2 id="tips">Useful Tips Section</h2>
Then, add a link to the bookmark ("Useful Tips Section"), from within the same page:
<a href="#tips">Visit the Useful Tips Section</a>
Or, add a link to the bookmark ("Useful Tips Section"), from another page:
<a href="html_tips.html#tips">Visit the Useful Tips Section</a>

HTML Images
 HTML Images Syntax
• In HTML, images are defined with the <img> tag.
• The <img> tag is empty, it contains attributes only, and does not
have a closing tag.
• The src attribute specifies the URL (web address) of the image:
<img src="url" alt="some_text" style="width:
HTML width;inheight:
Text Displayed Browserheight;">
<!DOCTYPE html> Spectacular Mountain
<html>
<body>
<h2>Spectacular Mountain</h2>
<img src="pic_mountain.jpg" alt="Mountain
View" style="width: 304px;height: 228px;">
</body>
</html>
HTML Images
 The alt Attribute
• The alt attribute provides an alternate text for an image, if the user for
some reason cannot view it (because of slow connection, an error in the
src attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader).
• If a browser cannot find an image, it will display the value of the alt
attribute:
<p>If a browser cannot find an image, it will If a browser cannot find an

display the alternate text:</p> image, it will display the
alternate text: The alt attribute
<img src="wrongname.gif" alt="HTML5 Icon" is required. A
style="width:128px;height:128px;">
web page will
not validate
correctly
without it.
HTML Images
 Image Size: Width and Height
• You can use the style attribute to specify the width and height of an
image.
• The values
HTML
are specified in pixels (use px after the value):
Text Displayed in
Browser
<img src="html5.gif"
alt="HTML5 Icon" style="width:
128px; height: 128px;">
HTML
• Alternatively, Text Displayed in
you can use the width and height attributes. Here, the
Browser
values are specified in pixels by default:
<img src="html5.gif" alt="HTML5
Icon" width="128" height="128">
HTML Images
 Width and Height, or Style?
• Both the width, height, and style attributes are valid in HTML5.
• However, we suggest using the style attribute. It prevents internal or external
styles sheets from changing the original size of images:
<style> It is better to use the style attribute
img { (instead of the width and height
width: 100%; attributes), because it prevents
} internal or external styles sheets to
</style> change the original size of an image:
<body>
<p>It is better to use the style attribute (instead of the width and
height attributes), because it prevents
internal or external styles sheets to change the original size of an
image:</p>
<img src="html5.gif" alt="HTML5 Icon" style="width: 128px;

height: 128px;">
<img src="html5.gif" alt="HTML5 Icon" width= "128" height=
HTML Images
 Images in Another Folder
• If not specified, the browser expects to find the image in the same
folder as the web page.
• However, it is common to store images in a sub-folder. You must then
include the folder name in the src attribute:

<body>
<img
src="C:\Users\NahedTaha\Desktop\HTML\images/ht
ml5.gif" alt="HTML5 Icon" style="width:
128px;height: 128px;">
</body>
HTML Images
 Animated Images
• The GIF standard allows animated images:
<body> The GIF standard allows
moving images.
<p>The GIF standard allows moving
images.</p>
<img src="programming.gif" alt="Computer

man" style="width: 48px;height: 48px;">
</body>
Note that the syntax
of inserting animated
images is no
different from non-
animated images.
HTML Images
 Using an Image as a Link
• To use an image as a link, simply nest the <img> tag inside the <a> tag:
<p>The image is a link. You can click on The image is a link. You can
it.</p> click on it.
<a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiley"> Add "border:0;" to prevent IE9
<img src="smiley.gif" alt="HTML tutorial" (and earlier) from displaying a
style="width:42px;height:42px;border:0;"> border around the image.
</a>
Note that border:0; is
<p>Add "border:0;" to prevent IE9 (and added to prevent IE9
earlier) from displaying a border around the (and earlier) from
image.</p> displaying a border
around the image
(when the image is a
link).
