HTML Structure
 HTML is comprised of “elements” and “tags”
 Begins with <html> and ends with </html>
 Elements (tags) are nested one inside another:
 Tags have attributes:
 HTML describes structure using two main sections:
<head> and <body>
9
<html> <head></head> <body></body> </html><html> <head></head> <body></body> </html>
<img src="logo.jpg" alt="logo" /><img src="logo.jpg" alt="logo" />

HTML Code Formatting
 The HTML source code should be formatted to
increase readability and facilitate debugging.
 Every block element should start on a new line.
 Every nested (block) element should be indented.
 Browsers ignore multiple whitespaces in the page
source, so formatting is harmless.
 For performance reasons, formatting can be
sacrificed

HTML Document Structure in Depth

Preface
 It is important to have the correct vision and
attitude towards HTML
 HTML is only about structure, not appearance
 Browsers tolerate invalid HTML code and parse
errors – you should not.
23

The <!DOCTYPE> Declaration
 HTML documents must start with a document type
definition (DTD)
 It tells web browsers what type is the served code
 Possible versions: HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0
(Transitional or Strict), XHTML 1.1, HTML 5
 Example:
 See http://w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html for a list
of possible doctypes
24
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

HTML vs. XHTML
 XHTML is more strict than HTML
 Tags and attribute names must be in lowercase
 All tags must be closed (<br/>, <img/>) while HTML
allows <br> and <img> and implies missing closing tags
(<p>par1 <p>par2)
 XHTML allows only one root <html> element (HTML
allows more than one)
25

XHTML vs. HTML (2)
 Many element attributes are deprecated in
XHTML, most are moved to CSS
 Attribute minimization is forbidden, e.g.
 Note: Web browsers load XHTML faster than
HTML and valid code faster than invalid!
26
<input type="checkbox" checked><input type="checkbox" checked>
<input type="checkbox" checked="checked" /><input type="checkbox" checked="checked" />

The <head> Section
 Contains information that doesn’t show directly on
the viewable page
 Starts after the <!doctype> declaration
 Begins with <head> and ends with </head>
 Contains mandatory single <title> tag
 Can contain some other tags, e.g.
 <meta>
 <script>
 <style>
 <!–- comments -->
27

<head> Section: <title> tag
 Title should be placed between <head> and
</head> tags
 Used to specify a title in the window title bar
 Search engines and people rely on titles
28
<title><title>shihanshihan Academy – Winter Season 2014/2015Academy – Winter Season 2014/2015
</title></title>

<head> Section: <meta>
 Meta tags additionally describe the content
contained within the page
29
<meta name="description" content="HTML<meta name="description" content="HTML
tutorial" />tutorial" />
<meta name="keywords" content="html, web<meta name="keywords" content="html, web
design, styles" />design, styles" />

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;
url=http://www.shababshihan.com" />url=http://www.shababshihan.com" />

<head> Section: <script>
 The <script> element is used to embed
scripts into an HTML document
 Script are executed in the client's Web browser
 Scripts can live in the <head> and in the <body>
sections
 Supported client-side scripting languages:
 JavaScript (it is not Java!)
 VBScript
 JScript
30

The <script> Tag – Example

Block and Inline Elements
 Block elements add a line break before and
after them
 <div> is a block element
 Other block elements are <table>, <hr>,
headings, lists, <p> and etc.
 Inline elements don’t break the text before
and after them
 <span> is an inline element
 Most HTML elements are inline, e.g. <a>
57

The <div> Tag
 <div> creates logical divisions within a page
 Block style element
 Used with CSS
 Example:
58
<div style="font-size:24px; color:red">DIV<div style="font-size:24px; color:red">DIV
example</div>example</div>
<p>This one is <span style="color:red; font-<p>This one is <span style="color:red; font-
weight:bold">only a test</span>.</p>weight:bold">only a test</span>.</p>
div-and-span.htmldiv-and-span.html

The <span> Tag
 Inline style element
 Useful for modifying a specific portion of text
 Don't create a separate area
(paragraph) in the document
 Very useful with CSS

HTML Tables
 Tables represent tabular data
 A table consists of one or several rows
 Each row has one or more columns
 Tables comprised of several core tags: <table></table>: begin / end the table
<tr></tr>: create a table row
<td></td>: create tabular data (cell)
 Tables should not be used for layout. Use CSS floats and positioning styles
instead
61

Complete HTML Tables
 Table rows split into three semantic sections:
header, body and footer
 <thead> denotes table header and contains <th>
elements, instead of <td> elements
 <tbody> denotes collection of table rows that
contain the very data
 <tfoot> denotes table footer but comes BEFORE
the <tbody> tag
 <colgroup> and <col> define columns (most
often used to set column widths)
65

66
<table><table>
<colgroup><colgroup>
<col style="width:100px" /><col /><col style="width:100px" /><col />

Nested Tables
 Table data “cells” (<td>) can contain nested
tables (tables within tables):

<td>Contact:</td><td>Contact:</td>
<td><td>

<td>First Name</td><td>First Name</td>
<td>Last Name</td><td>Last Name</td>

HTML Forms
 Forms are the primary method for gathering
data from site visitors
 Create a form block with
 Example:
76
<form></form><form></form>
<form name="myForm" method="post"<form name="myForm" method="post"
action="path/to/some-script.php">action="path/to/some-script.php">

</select></select>
<input type="submit" name="submitBtn"<input type="submit" name="submitBtn"
value="Apply Now" />value="Apply Now" />

Other Form Controls (2)
 Reset button – brings the form to its initial
state
 Image button – acts like submit but image is
displayed and click coordinates are sent
 Ordinary button – used for Javascript, no
default action
81
<input type="reset" name="resetBtn"<input type="reset" name="resetBtn"
value="Reset the form" />value="Reset the form" />
<input type="image" src="submit.gif"<input type="image" src="submit.gif"
name="submitBtn" alt="Submit" />name="submitBtn" alt="Submit" />
<input type="button" value="click me" /><input type="button" value="click me" />

 Password input – a text field which masks the
entered text with * signs
 Multiple select field – displays the list of items
in multiple lines, instead of one
82
<input type="password" name="pass" /><input type="password" name="pass" />
<select name="products" multiple="multiple"><select name="products" multiple="multiple">
<option value="Value 1"<option value="Value 1"
selected="selected">keyboard</option>selected="selected">keyboard</option>

<form enctype="multipart/form-data"><form enctype="multipart/form-data">
......
<input type="file" name="photo" /><input type="file" name="photo" />
......
</form></form>

Labels
 Form labels are used to associate an explanatory
text to a form field using the field's ID.
 Clicking on a label focuses its associated field
(checkboxes are toggled, radio buttons are
checked)
 Labels are both a usability and accessibility
feature and are required in order to pass
accessibility validation.

<label for="fn">First Name</label><label for="fn">First Name</label>
<input type="text" id="fn" /><input type="text" id="fn" />

TabIndex
 The tabindex HTML attribute controls the
order in which form fields and hyperlinks are
focused when repeatedly pressing the TAB
key
 tabindex="0" (zero) - "natural" order
 If X > Y, then elements with tabindex="X" are
iterated before elements with tabindex="Y"
 Elements with negative tabindex are skipped,
however, this is not defined in the standard
88
<input type="text" tabindex="10" /><input type="text" tabindex="10" />

HTML Frames
 Frames provide a way to show multiple HTML
documents in a single Web page
 The page can be split into separate views
(frames) horizontally and vertically
 Frames were popular in the early ages of HTML
development, but now their usage is rejected
 Frames are not supported by all user agents
(browsers, search engines, etc.)
 A <noframes> element is used to provide content for
non-compatible agents.
