Using Tables

2014-04-05T14:17:00.000-07:00

Tables are widely used in HTML, or were. Other than storing data for a viewer to see, people used tables for a navigation bar, but that method has rather become, extinct. The newer method is using a <NAV> tag which we will get into later.

The <table> tag is used to open a table. The </table tag is the closing tag. The <tbody> creates the body of the table. <TR> creates a new row in the table, and the <TD> tag creates a new column in the table.

This is a sample code and it's result.

<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
Name
</td>
<td>
Last Name
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Amir
</td>
<td>
Shabani
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Steve
</td>
<td>
Robinson
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Name	Last Name
Amir	Shabani
Steve	Robinson

Writing in new lines in HTML

2014-03-30T09:28:00.002-07:00

If you create a website with the following code:

<html>

<head>

<title>Welcome to my website </title>

<head>

<body>

Hello!

How are you doing?

</body>

</html>

You will realize you will get something like this:

Hello! How are you doing?

"How are you doing" is not on a seperate line, thats because you need a line break. You can add a line break by using the tag <br /> in HTML 4 and <br> in HTML 5. This tag does not need to be closed. This is the different ways of using the <br> tag:

Hello! <br>

How are you doing?

Hello! <br> How are you doing?

Hello!

<br>

How are you doing?

Any of the variations above work, as well as many other, experiment with this tag to become familiar with it.

Result of the code above:

Hello!
How are you doing?

ENJOY! :D

HTML Headers

2014-03-28T17:34:00.001-07:00

Above, you can see the title of this post, "HTML Headers," or on the top of this blog, it says "Children and Computers." These are all examples of headers. You can make a text bigger, by using any of the following tags. Just open the tag with a <...> and close it with </...>, the "..." being the tag you want to use, and your title or heading in between.

<H1>

<H2>

<H3>

<H4>

<H5>

<H6>

H6 is the smallest it can get, and H1 is the largest it can get. Here is an example of a website using an H1 title, and the code of that website:

<html>
<head>
<title> My website </title>
</head>
<body>
<h1> Welcome to my website </h1>
</body>
<html>

ENJOY :D!

HTML Introduction

2014-03-26T20:21:00.002-07:00

You can skip to the next section for examples

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. A Markup Language used for developing webpages. If you are using Microsoft Explorer or Google Chrome, you can press F12 to view the source code of the website you are on, even this one! You may see code other than HTML because other scripting languages are used for making the website interactive, and some CSS (Cascading Stylesheet) may be present as well. CSS helps add style and color to a website so it is not plain and boring. You can learn a lot about HTML by going to http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp, They have all of the examples and lessons about HTML, and CSS. They have other lessons as well such as JavaScript, a scripting language use for making the website fun and interactive. We will get more into scripting later.

Examples

All HTML webpages start with a <html> tag. a tag is a block, with a keyword in between < and >. Every tag that is opened must be closed. You can close tabs by typing the tab again, but this time playing a / after the first <. For example:

<html>
...
</html>

There are alot of tags that you need to remember to be able to make websites, but if you ever do forget, you always have Google or Bing.
