1. Lecture Note 2: About HTML

2.  Getting Started  Getting Started Firstly, HTML works by applying tags to text and page elements, so that the browser can understand how to render the page correctly. These tags appear thus: You'll also need to know the file referencing scheme used in HTML. You can either link to files relatively:../index.html The above means to go back one directory relative to the current document, and use the file index.html. /index.html The above means to use the file, index.html in the root directory. or you can link to files absolutely: http://www.ncku.edu.tw/aspcourse/html/ The above uses the HTTP protocol to reference a URL on the World Wide Web. This method is most commonly used for external linking to other sites.

3. The Basics The Basics –The basics cover the tags you need in order for the page "to exist". This doesn't include what goes in the page; it includes only what you need in order for the browser to recognize that it truly is a Web page. – This is the basic tag for every page. It tells the browser that the file being loaded is a HTML document. Look at the basic layout of any Web page to see how it's used. – This defines the head of your page. Incorporates the tag. – This allows you to define the body arguments. They can include: BACKGROUND="file.gif" sets an image file to be tiled as the backdrop to the page elements. BGCOLOR="#rgbcode" Sets the background color. TEXT="#rgbcode" - sets the text color LINK="#rgbcode" - sets the link color VLINK="#rgbcode" - sets the visited links color TOPMARGIN=x - defines the top margin for the body LEFTMARGIN=x - defines the left margin for the body RIGHTMARGIN=x - defines the right margin for the body RIGHTMARGIN=x - defines the right margin for the body

8. Text Control Text Control This allows you to control different aspects of the text.

10. Text Control Text Control This is another italics tag. This is another fixed width font tag. This allows you to embolden or italicize a word or group of words. This allows the text to appear in the browser in the same format (layout) as it does in a text editor, such as Notepad, for example. This is a small fixed-width font tag - somewhat similar to that spaces everything out.

13. Lists Lists This defines the list items within a descriptive list. This defines the topic of the descriptive list. This defines the indented item to be displayed in the descriptive list. This is a way to group items into a numbered list. It uses the tags to list the items. This defines the list items with a number or a dot.

These include: ·MARGINHEIGHT="x" ·MARGINWIDTH="x" ·NAME="name" ·NORESIZE ·SRC="file.html/file.gif/file.jpg" ·SCROLLING="x" (x = yes/no/auto) Don't forget the tag for those browsers who can't handle frames.

19. Tables, Frames, and Forms Tables, Frames, and Forms This establishes content. Its attributes include: ·MARGINHEIGHT="x" ·MARGINWIDTH="x" ·NAME="name" ·NORESIZE ·SRC="x" ·SCROLLING="x" ( x = yes/no/auto)

25.  JavaScript  JavaScript To set JavaScript as the default scripting language for a particular page you must insert a language specification at the top of the page: Note: Unlike VBScript - JavaScript is case sensitive. You will have to write your ASP code with uppercase letters and lowercase letters when the language requires it. Note: Unlike VBScript - JavaScript is case sensitive. You will have to write your ASP code with uppercase letters and lowercase letters when the language requires it.

26.  Other Scripting Languages  Other Scripting Languages ASP is shipped with VBScript and JScript (Microsoft's implementation of JavaScript). If you want to script in another language, like PERL, REXX, or Python, you will have to install script engines for them.
