How Websites Work
• Website = HTML document + resources (CSS,
images, JavaScript)
• Browsers (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) read HTML and
render the appropriate page
•Or if Internet Explorer, the wrong page
• Websites can be on your local computer or on a web
server

What is HTML?
• HTML = Hyper Text Markup Language
• Language of the web!
•All webpages are structured in HTML
•Composed of elements which consist of tags
•Tags mark beginning and end of elements
•Ex. A paragraph element - <p>Paragraph Content</p>

Common Elements
•Common Elements
•HTML - <html></html>
•Head - <head></head>
•Body - <body></body>
•Heading - <h1></h1>
•Paragraph - <p></p>
•Anchor - <a></a>
•Image - <img />

Starting
• HTML documents start with <!DOCTYPE html>
• Tells browser to render as HTML5
•Then <html> to put everything inside
• Most elements need to be closed
• HTML is highest order, so end with </html>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<!–- all the webpage’s elements -->
</html>

Header Element
• Next is the head element, <head>
•This is where you bring in style files, scripts, etc.
•No actual content seen on the page will be here!
•Ex. Titles, Style tags (CSS basically), etc.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title> Let’s Hack!! </title>
</head>
</html>

Body Element
• Finally the body element, <body>
•The “body” of the html file
• Where you put images, paragraphs, bullet points,
etc.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title> Let’s Hack!! </title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello world! Congratulations on making
your first page!</p>
</body>
</html>

Saving and Viewing
•File -> save as nameofFile.html
• Naming doesn’t matter
• “MvHacks.html”
• HTML files don’t need to be compiled
•Open browser, click File -> Open file…. and navigate to your
html document
• Or with Brackets, use live-view (sideways lightning bolt)

HTML Details 1
• Headings, <h1> …. <h6>
• 6 different levels, appropriately used to section content
• Cannot nest headings in each other, like <h1><h2></h2></h1>, that is bad
• How to use:
<h1>Favorite Foods</h1>
<h2>Korean Food</h2>
<p>Korean food is awesome!</p>
<h2>Thai Food</h2>
<p>Thai food is also awesome!</p>

HTML Details 2
•Paragraph, <p>
• Most common/general text element
• Automatically includes margins (spacing) between paragraphs
•Line break, <br>
• Separates lines of text
• Can be placed in a <p> element
<p>The following sentence is true.<br> The previous sentence is
false.</p> Output:
The following sentence is true.
The previous sentence is false.

HTML Details 3
• Anchor (link), <a>
• Used to create hyperlink to separate content
• Must declare ‘href’ attribute with value as destination
•Destination can be URL (http://www.google.com/) or a relative
destination (doc2.html)
• Link text enclosed in element
•<a href=“http://www.google.com/”>This link goes to Google.</a>
•<a href=“doc2.html”>This link goes to doc2</a>

HTML Details 4
• Blocks, <div>
• Used to separate different sections of an html doc
• You can nest as many as these within each other as you want, but keep in mind to close each one!
• You can also set id’s to them to set them apart (useful for CSS)
<div id=“tasty_delicious_food”></div>
<div id=“Food”>
<div id = “more_food”>
<div id = “even_more_food”>
</div>
</div>
</div>

HTML Details 5
• Image, <img>
• Used to input images into the doc
• You can specify width and height through the tag
• Width & height are both in measured in pixels
• The <img> doesn’t have a closing tag
<img src=/slideshow/basics-of-front-end-web-dev-powerpoint-53856351/53856351/“penguinsFlying.jpg” >
<img src=“moreFlyingStuff.jpg” width=“100” height=“100”>

HTML Details 6
•Lists
• <ul> - unordered lists aka bullet lists
• <ol> - ordered lists aka numbered lists
• <li> - these will be the individual points within each list
<ul>
<li>Birds</li>
<li>Penguins</li> </ul>
<ol>
<li>Fuzzy Creatures</li>
<li>Pandas</li> </ol>
Output:
• Birds
• Penguins
1. Fuzzy Creatures
2. Pandas

Hands-On Part 1
Create a VERY basic HTML website that includes:
1. At least one picture
2. A proper title (for the webpage)
3. A few sentences (in bullet or numbered points) about yourself
4. Anything else you want
You have 5 minutes. If you are done or need
help, raise your hand.

HTML Details 7
•Tables, <table>
• Are used to display data in a table-like fashion
• If you don’t specify a border, it’ll display with no borders
<table border = “1”>
<tr>
<td>Blah</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Blah again</td>
</tr>
</table>

HTML 5
• Cool new HTML version that includes:
• <video> is used to embed a YouTube-esque video player in your website
• Supported video formats include MP4, Ogg, and WebM
<video src=/slideshow/basics-of-front-end-web-dev-powerpoint-53856351/53856351/"Ep. 35 - The Tales of Ba Sing Se.mp4" controls>
Your browser does not support the video element.
</video>
• <audio> is used to embed an audio player in your website
• Supported audio formats include MP3, Wav, and Ogg
<audio src="leaves.mp3" controls>
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>

What is CSS?
• CSS stands for Cascade Style Sheets
• CSS allows you to style your webpages by matching the
rules with HTML tags
• This is were <div> id’s come in handy!

How to Incorporate CSS
1. Make an external CSS spreadsheet (style.css)
◦ Add with <link rel = “stylesheet” type=“text/css” href=“style.css”>
◦ Must be in the <head> section!
◦ CSS file must be in same folder as HTML
2. Internal CSS
◦ Put everything in between <style> </style> elements
◦ Again, must be in the <head> section
3. Inline Stylesheet
◦ Manually write style=“”
◦ Like: <p style=“color: # 421c52;”> Yo! </p>

Some Syntax
body {
background: #ffffff;
font-size: 16px;
}
div#css_lessons {
width: 100%;
height: 960px;
background: #421c52;
}
Whatever is in the {} is what you are modifying
If you gave an ID, then you have to use #Idname
selector
If you have a class, then the .classname selector
Generally, most things like font-size work in the
syntax ->
nameofRule:

CSS Selectors 1
• Tag
• Use element name, applies to all elements of that type in the document
p { color: blue; }
• Class
• Use class name, applies to all elements of that class in the document
.subtext { font-weight: bold; }
• ID
• Use id name, applies to only element with specified id
#key { font-size: 28px; }

CSS Selectors 2
• You can group selectors together in the same CSS rule
• Enclosed properties apply to all selected elements
/* Applies to all paragraph elements, and heading 1s with id ‘title’ */
p, h1#title {
font-style: italic;
}

CSS Properties 1
• Text properties
• Font-family
• Font-style
• Font-size
• Font-weight
• Color
p {
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
font-size: 20px;
font-family: serif;
color: #666666;
}
/* All paragraphs are now bold, italic, 20px large, serif font, and gray */

CSS Properties 2
•Background properties
• Background-color
• Background-image
• Background-repeat
• Background-attachment
• Background-position
body {
background-image: url(/slideshow/basics-of-front-end-web-dev-powerpoint-53856351/53856351/“background.png”);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-position: center top;
}
/* Sets body’s background image as fixed at
the top of the page */

CSS Positioning
• Margin
• Space surrounding element
• Border
• Element border
• Padding
• Space surrounding element content

CSS Positioning 1
•Margin:
• Clears a space around your element
• Imagine there’s a border around it, margin clears
everything outside of it
• Usable one of two ways: long-hand way or short-hand
way
/*creates a margin above, right, below, left – shorthand*/
div#Hacks {
margin: 5px 6px 7px 8px;
}
/*creates a margin above,right, below, left – longhand*/
div#Hacks {
margin-top: 5px;
margin-right: 6px;
margin-bottom: 7px;
margin-left: 8px;
}

CSS Positioning 2
• Margins – a useful trick for aligning the element into the center of the page
/*centers an element into the center of the page*/
div#pieText {
margin: 0 auto;
}
• Why does this work?
• The 0 tells the browser to set the top and bottom margins to 0
• The auto tells the browser to split up the left and right evenly so the element is centered

CSS Positioning 3
•Padding:
• Clears a space around the content within the
element
• Imagine a box around the element, padding
applies to everything within the border
/*creates padding above, right, below, left –
shorthand*/
p {
padding: 5px 6px 7px 8px;
}
/*creates padding above, right, below, left –
longhand*/
p {
padding-top: 5px;
padding-right: 6px;
padding-bottom: 7px;
padding-left: 8px;
}

CSS Positioning 4
• Floating
• Allow you to float an element left or right
• Great for layouts and images
*Float to the left*/
div#pieImage {
float: left;
}
/*Float to the right*/
div#pieImage {
float: right;
}

Hands-On Part 2
Take your previous HTML website and using CSS,
1. Add at least 1 class and 1 ID and style them
2. Style the background (colors, designs, etc.)
3. Style the sentences you wrote (colors, fonts, etc.)
4. Challenge: put some padding on the image and center it
You have 5 minutes. If you are done or need
help, raise your hand.
