HTML Assignment #9 Learning HTML

Peter VanGorp

I am a student enrolled in CIS 1013-HTML at Tulsa Community College. In this course I am learning to create web pages by using Hypertext Markup Language.

I know about HTML and its history, HTML standars and the W3C, the three versions of HTML 4.0 (strict, loose, and frameset), HTML variable conditions (platforms, browsers, and hardware), the four options for coding HTML text-based, HTML editors, HTML conversion programs, and WYSIWYG applications), and file management.

Lesson 1

I learned about tags, attributes, and values; special characters; well-formed code; and basic tags. This is a list of the tags I can now use: html, head, title meta, body, and comment. I have used all of these in creating this exercise.

Lesson 2

I learned about formatting text and adding color. This includes

breaks

paragraphs

   ***  ***  preformatted text  ***  ***
Text that appears indented as a blockquote. Text that appears indented as a blockquote. Text that appears indented as a blockquote.

headers

bold, underline, and italic
emphasis and strong
teletype and strikethrough
superscript and subscript
small, normal, and big
fonts (face, color, and size)
background color, background images, fixed backgrounds, and hexidecimal code
horizontal rules and the division tag.

Lesson 3

assign3.jpg I learned how to use images on my web page! I learned the img tag and all of its attributes: src, widht, height, borer, align, alt, vspace, and hspace. I also learned how to use Microsoft Photo Editor to determine the size of an image, to resize an image, and to make the background transparent on a GIF. This image came from http://www.freefoto.om, United Kingdom, Lond, Bridges, 1st photo. I right-clicked the image and saved it to my lesson3 folder as assign3.jpg. I resized it to 300x199 in Microsoft Photo Editor and resaved it. It has a border of 2, is right-aligned, hasan alt attribute, and vspace/hspace of 5



Lesson 4

Lists are a great way to organize information. The three types of HTML lists include:
  1. Unordered Lists
    • good for bulleted information
    • one attribute: type
  2. Ordered Lists
    • good for sequential information
    • attributes: type and start
  3. Definition Lists
    • good for terms/definitions
    • no attributes

The previous list contains one ordered list and three nested unordered lists.

Lesson 5

Lesson 1 Lesson 4 Lesson 7 Lesson 10
Lesson 2 Lesson 5 Lesson 8 Lesson 11
Lesson 3 Lesson 6 Lesson 9 Lesson 12

Tables are used to display information and as a page layout tool. Here's what I have learned about tables:

I learned how to calculate colspan and rowspan and how to calculate a page's maximum measurements based on screen resolution.

Lesson 6

back to top
I didn't know that publishing a web site could bring up so many questions... I want to remember that my instructor shared multiple URLs with me that will come in hany when I am ready to answer all these questions!

In class, we used WS-FTP to upload all previously created files to GeoCities. Next week we begin our first independant project!

Lesson 7

back to top

I've learned to add hyperlinks to my document. You will note that the table at the top of the document contains hyperlinks to the lessons that are displayed throughout the text. You will also note that I have included a "Back to Top" link at the end of each lesson.

Lesson 8

back to top

In this lesson, I learned to use frames to split the browser window into sections and load different HTML documents into each section. Check out my frames pages for exer8.html and assign8.html.

Lesson 9

I linked and embedded sound and video files in this lesson using the anchor and embed tags. To see a demo, view exer9.html. I also learned some tags that will cause variances when used in Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator.
